What makes a light “good?” Is it brightness? Reliability? Cost? Or could it be something more?
I’m James the Light Guy and on this channel I invite you to join me as I play with different automotive and household lighting solutions and give my thoughts on each item. I am an optimistic person by nature and I like talking about the Pros more than the Cons but I won’t hide the truth.
What qualifies me to talk about the lights? Well, I’m glad you asked. Nothing. There’s nothing special about me that makes me an expert in lighting. I’ve had a passion for lights since childhood and want to share that passion with anyone willing to listen.
My tests aren’t always the most scientific, but they are honest and consistent. Anyone should be able to grab similar tools and find the same results if they recreate what I’ve done.
I hope you enjoy the channel and can find some useful or fun information here.
Got a question? Ask! I’m just some guy, but I love interacting with my audience.

Testing Different Sterilization Methods Using Bacterial Growth Cultures
Good review - and you have saved me wasting my money on one -
thanks
@James the Light Guy . Is it true that at high beam, the Orion bulb powers the Low and High beams at the same time ? Making it brighter than most Led bulbs in the market.
OMG ...that light is so hot ....should it melt the projector LoL!!
I just bought one a week ago. Is it safe for the heat sink to be touching like a plastic part of the car are they prone in melting plastics?Currently its touching the body of my battery, not the top part.
Iv had two of these now the start up sequence and indicator won't work correctly on one side
Means nothing. And what is a banona?
I can’t find these anywhere!!!
Hey James! I bought two LED strips (run brake turn). Positive wire, negative wire, turn wire. The right strip works fine through all operations. Both lights run a startup sequence, then a constant taillight, brake operates fine. When I use my left blinker and then turn it off, the strip does it's startup sequence again but instead of going back to a constant taillight it just loops the start up sequence constantly. Again, the right one is fine completely.
Has anyone found a website for Stone Banks. I have a warranty issue that I would like to address with them.
Hi 560watt 220000 lümen 6000k or 100 watt 30000 lümen 6500k which is better?
Hey just wondering. Is the low / high on these still h11/h1 ?
Just bought a set of square ones off Temu for $12
Do you have an updated link to these lights?
This bulb is the brightest bulb i ever tried.
I know those was 4 years ago. But those 4 sided led are the worse led and has obviously the worse performing beam pattern ever. They are unsafe to use them in a headlights. Yes they are bright but there’s no hotspot and it’s less bright than halogen. Any 3 sides, 4 sides, or multi-sides will never work on a headlight. Always use a thin narrow body with 2 sided led bulbs: they perform way bette than those garbage led bulbs.
Can you cut the straps short??
How do u the forscan
where did you buy these at??
What if we cut this in half will it still glow or not
Hello, I have a question. I see you have replaced the bulb socket terminals on the Denso ballast. What type of solder do those cables have? With common tin can it support the tension? Or how have you done it? Thank you.
Very well made LED bulb.
I believe that in most states, I live in Florida, as long as the bulb does not continuously flash they are legal. I know in Florida they are legal.
It would be great to see it on the car!
Shocked with what you managed to do!!! Congratulations on good work!
i installed these on my car and one side is always brighter than the other, even when i switch the lights over, does any one know why?
You should test at normal car operating voltages of 14.4V.
These are way better than the regular 2700k bulbs and last just as long as other brands. 2700k = Soft White 3000k = Warm White 4100k = Cool White 5000k = Daylight
These only draw *half* the power of a halogen H7 (2.1A vs 4.5A), to me that's a huge benefit to people like me on a motorcycles moving to LED to conserve power. There are more powerful H7 LED's out there but it comes at the cost of extra power consumption. And considering factory H7 halogen are typically approx 2000 lumens these are still way brighter. So I don't understand this "review" without putting them into a headlight to see how they perform
95 x 100 is not 950🤣
Meaning you get a broken light straight from the box?
this piece of shit, after about a year, starts to burn out, and after 1-2-3 LEDs they start blinking, very poor cooling, they burn out. now only 3x3 LEDs light up in the headlight from the turn. and the white light shines only 5 pieces, in general I do not recommend it.
Hi thanks for the video, you said that you don't recommend this led, but compare to the original halogen, is this led better or worse?
i need to sequentially turn on my 5 meter neon light and keep them on in my room, not in my car. What do I need to do?
My girlfriend was lucky enough to get 2 sets but I'm pissed they scammed so many people. Where can you download the app. Hers have been sitting in a box for 2 years and I'm tryna get em set up
Thank you so much for this video! Received the fake box as a company gift and wasn’t sure it really worked. This video was a great help!
most unscientific review ever. think over ur testing method please and try again
Also I assume most people have figured out that they mostly list the total wattage for the two ballasts combined. So if you see a 150 watt hid ballast set it’s probably 75 watts each, if it’s 300 watts, then it’s 150 watts per ballast.
150w hid ballast use with osram p-vip philip uhp maybe better than cheap car xenon
But the rated 55W ballast actually output 49W or so.
Don’t know if it’s a requirement but many of the kits that sell 75 watts per ballast or more, also use ceramic bulb bases, glass and metals for the build materials. I figure this is so they don’t melt the bulb base and destroy the output characteristics. But I also wonder how well these would do in housings for more than say 15 mins at a time. Because I imagine that these would heat up a headlight housing or a projector, very very hot! EDIT: I realized that he mentioned the ceramic based bulbs midway through the video lol. So my comment matters much less. Glad he brought that up since they get very hot!
I only go for lasfit T-7440A led turn signal bulbs and GTR Lighting - Carbide series 2.0. Both are same with different prices and finishes. But LivTee makes these? They look the same as lasfit.
I would like to see more teardown videos of different light pods to compare brands.
Your giving a good review. Thanks mate.
I’m sorry but those are not the best led bulbs. Those are the WORSE 360 degree led bulbs. Yes they are bright but, with a beam pattern it makes, and the brightness in a real world light, it’s not a safe choice to get one. I’m sure u know this few years later but I’m just letting u know, anyone that are considering buying one. Don’t. Anyone that already has one, get rid of it. U need a small led chip, that’s a two sided. That meets the size of the halogen filament coil. And a right size of the heatsink/fan. Stay away from 3/4 sides and 360 degree led bulbs.
Nice, thorough review. I have the same one and am happy with my purchase from probably 2-3 years ago! Thanks 🎉
Excellent video. Do you have the measurements of the rear end of the bulb as measured with the removable circular brace as the starting point?
It's pretty bad indeed
Do you have a link to purchase thesse chips you used
Can you use the led bulb without the diffuser without any harm? i imagine it probably gets a bit more brightness without the diffuser.
Hey James, wondering if there is such thing as an amber hid bulb in h8 form factor? Looking for roughly the same color as the high pressure sodium street lamps
If you get an HID bulb that's rated for 3000k at 35watts, and run it through a 55watt ballast, the color will shift downwards and give off a strong yellow orange color, should be able to find them in H8 size
Is the there a way to re wire the sequencer to make the amber the running lights
Anything helps
I have this exact same kit
