What Are Raw Lumens?

Raw lumens represent the total amount of light that an LED chip can produce under ideal laboratory conditions. It’s a theoretical number that doesn’t take into account real-world factors such as heat, optics, and power inefficiencies. Manufacturers often advertise raw lumens because they sound impressive, but they don’t provide an accurate representation of the light output you’ll experience on the road.

Why Effective Lumens Matter More

Effective lumens, on the other hand, measure the actual usable light output after accounting for real-world conditions. This number factors in how much light is lost due to heat dissipation, the design of the light housing, and lens optics. Essentially, effective lumens represent the amount of light that will genuinely illuminate your path, making it a more accurate indicator of performance.
