Original incandescent: 310 lumens @ 18 to 21 watts
LED Running light: 120 lumens @ 2 watts
LED High Beam: 420 lumens @ 8 watts

With the huge improvement in the uniformity of the headlight output from the LEDs, even the running light makes it easier to clearly see the road surface at night. I'll have output comparison photos up later tonight.

For the whole light system on the scooter I replaced 100 watts of incandescent bulbs with 20 watts of LEDs.
