Does anyone know the ratio of brighness level between the tail lights and brake lights? - I realise I could just go by the wattage but I'm sure I saw somewhere each is designated by a level of 'brighness' - also do indicators have a 'standard' brighness?

Dunno about the level of brighness of hand but maybe Queensland Transport could help with the official level of illumination. Check them out Dave.

Have recently been chasing up same sort of info regarding Reversing lights.

Unfortunately watts to brightness is not possible as they are different scales of measurement. ( And the ADR regs quote lumens (?) not watts.... yet to see a bulb advertising other than watts )

However as a rule of thumb I got this info from a Bulb catalogue:
Quote:
Watts vs. Candle Power As a guide, the following comparisons can be
made between these 2 measurements of power or brightness:
2w = 3cp
6w = 6cp
10w = 15cp
16w = 21cp
25w = 32cp
35w = 50cp


If you have a look at the Narva web sie they have a list of ADR compliant lights - and you could look up specs of appropriate fitting...
