Is a dual (or triple) color LED the same intensity as a single color LED used in the same lightbar? For example, if you take a Liberty DUO with R/B modules and set it to flash in red, will the modules be as bright as a single color Liberty in red? Will the DUO in blue be as bright as a regular Liberty in blue?
Today I happened to see a NJSP and PSP vehicle close to each other with the lightbars operating, NJSP with the regular Liberty and PSP with the new DUO. This was mid-morning in bright sunlight. The new DUO looked considerably less bright comparing color for color, red to red, blue to blue. Don't think they would have been running it in reduced intensity mode at 9 AM. Haven't seen a similar comparison with Fedsig 2 or 3 color Spectralux modules compared to single color modules, or any other manufacturers.
Anyone see the new multi-color modules side by side with the single color ones for comparison?
