How bright are the white scene modes on dual color LEDs?

Hi. I'm setting some lights for the back of my car using dual function. White for reverse or scene and amber flashing for warning. But I want the white reverse/scene to be more useful than gimicky. Does anyone have experience with how bright the white steady burn functions are for these common dual function lights?

We have Ion Duos on one of our squads and the white steady burn does put out a nice amount of light. I have no experience with the others. The neighboring agency uses the SoundOff Signal mpower fascia lights in duo and they are also very good for what you're looking at doing.

I put T-Ion duos on the rear of almost every squad that I build. The white only gets used for reverse. It’s definitely helpful, but nowhere near as bright as a dedicated white light. One thing to note about Ions: when you set them to steady, upon initial turn on, they are at full brightness. After, I believe 5 or so seconds, they will dim down. This is a built in protection feature. I think its to avoid overheating the lighthead.
