Whelen lumens question, LR11 vs sxtdled

[Sparky_911]

I tried looking for this but couldn't find it. I found a bunch of other threads with keywords but none answering this question.

Looking for lumen count of whelen LR11, and SXTDLED. The whelen pioneer slimline looks to use the same 2x6 configuration as the sxtdled and whelen lists the pioneer as 3000 lumens.

ASSUMING that is the case then the sxtdled SHOULD be the same, yeah? Which also means a single LR11 head would be 750lm, or a pair would be 1500lm. I just can't find anything the quotes the sxtdled lumens anywhere. (Here, Strobesnmore, google, Whelen, Sirennet, etc.)

You might not find the Lumen info for all Whelen products. Whelen hates using lumens to compare their products to others.

Thanks. I read that and yeah, optics and mounting position make a difference. I wish that was all that applied in this case. I have a bar with LR11s but trying to wrap my head around what in the off road world they would compare to lumen wise. Just trying to get a rough estimate.

That thread didn't pop up during my search (old thread?, search terms I used?). Definitely answers my question though. May be time to start hunting up a few pair of these.
