The unit I linked provides MONDO light, both in its white and red
modes.


MONDO apparently converts to 5.6 candela.

A 1-watt Luxeon light with a beamwidth of 30 degrees included angle
produces about 210 candela at rated power -- about 37.5 MONDO. It
would produce 1 MONDO running at about 2.5% of rated output.



Mondo means I could back up a flat bed truck and trailer with a
backhoe on it 1/2 mile out of a dead end canyon on a moonless night
after the lighting system failed.

Shrug. Thats good enough for me.

Golly! Using mirrors?
