Tail Light Test: DOT vs. Cheap Chinese

[Finnigan]

So I bought a taillight a while back based on looks and when I hooked it up for a simple test I wasn't sure of the power of the LEDs. Just got a DOT approved light from DCC and I thought I'd show the differences I've found.

It's amazing how much better the DCC light is, it's so bright it could give you a suntan while with the no name one there's hardly a difference between running and brake.

Don't make the same mistake I did, it's worth the extra $$

How much for the cheap one?

 

[Finnigan]

I think it was 20 or 30

Good old ANTIGRAVITY 4 cell. I have the same one, SUPER powerful little battery.
THANKS DCC!

Yea I had my doubts about buying it but its pretty incredible. I haven't even charged it since I got it in the mail a few months ago and I've been testing lights and instruments with it!
