Does anyone make a wired and dash mounted map light for the car with several luxeon LED's in it? Something that puts out some really significant lumens, for example 200 lumens?
Luxeon map light?

A lumen is equal to 1 foot-foot candle falling over a 1 square foot area. FYI, a typical office is 50 to 100 foot candles, so I would think that the glare from 200 lumens would make your night vision so bad that it would take
20 minutes to be able to see in the dark again. I would imagine that 25 to 50 lumens would be more than enough to read by.Here is a commercial quality hard wired map light:

LED with luxeons?
Could someone please address my original question, without tangents?
I think it was Big Mama Bear who stated:
You get ONE answer and already with the whining?
I think that puts the kibosh on anything useful anyone else might have wanted to share -- NOBODY likes a whiner!
I really wouldn't get hung up on the Luxeon name. Luxeon is just one brand of high-power LED (out of three or four) that has happens to have good marketing to the end user.
