Took the DR400 in for inspection\u2026 failed because the light output was insufficient.
\nBumped up the bulb wattage and tried again\u2026 failed (at the tester shop) in that range.
\nTried with a different reflector and bulb\u2026 failed (at the tester shop) and it’s even darker.
\nTried with a Raybrig 60\/60W equivalent bright bulb\u2026 failed.
\nWhat’s going on?!
\n(My guess) Maybe it’s a coverage area issue? The spot where the light shines is extremely bright, but it doesn’t spread over a wide range.
\nWhen you average out that difference, it comes out dark, which is why it fails\u2014or so I’m guessing.
\nAnyway, I’ll try with a different headlight and give it another shot.
