The conclusion is completly wrong and in many cases recommends illegal result. It should be: In this test for this car this particular LED bulb gives brighter lighting comparing to this (unknown to public) HID setup and whatever brand halogen bulb was used. In most cases afternarket LED bulbs have quite poor reliability and are absolutely horrible in reflector type housing. Even with projector housing (as shown on the video) Led bulb creates a mosaic of bright and dark spots (terrible for night vision).
By the way what is the reason for temperature comparison?
@K M where do trolls come from
@Peter Peter, Can you explain a little about how light emitted from an LED is poorer than light emitted from another source in wet or fog? Is it about the color temperature?
@@kenpeck5930 it's about facts pulled out of his ass. In other words, his fact is sh*t
Being a headlight junkie and having tried everything myself, I can tell you that absolutely NOTHING beats a 35w HID projector retrofitted 4300k setup. You get the purest white light and the cleanest cutoff beam without being annoyingly too bright and flashy. Sometimes having a bright light isn't necessarily the best because you are blinding everyone on the road. Be respectful of other drivers. The color output also depends on your ballast as well. Anything below 4300k is getting in the yellow, and anything above 5k is too blue (ive owned 3k, 5k, 6k, 8k, 10k. IMO and many others, 4300k to 5k is the sweet spot for the best output)
If you want to do a comparison video, please don't use a cheapo plug and play HID kit. It is misleading information. HID's are meant to be used in an HID specific housing.
you are really expert on this
try YUFANYA bixenon projector lens
Which one performs better on wet roads at night and during rainy conditions? My company fitted LED headlamps n Fog lamps didn't do they job well in these conditions.
@@NeerajBharwani The saying kinda goes "you gotta pay to play". This is also true of lights. Honestly anything can be bright, but the well engineered stuff usually focuses the light on the road and not at the sky. If your headlight uses halogen bulbs, I would not use anything other than halogen bulbs. Manufacturers engineer these types of headlights to scatter light, and they do that well. If you want the best, search up a "how to" on retrofitting HID's. They take a bit of skill and money, but they cannot be beat. Just be sure you arent just throwing in a cheapo plug and play kit. I've started doing these about 14 years ago and honestly have never regretted it. These days they make it easy to do. On my current car, I don't even bother using high beams or fog lights. The HID's just completely embarrasses them.
@@sengalang Do you have a recommendation? I am in the uk and i drive an i30 mk2 and i would like to set up hid 4300k. Thanks
Like the organized approach here. Very nice that you summarized the results at each distance, then provided the grand summary @ the end.
This is one of the most in-depth vids on lighting I have ever seen. Most definitely a sub now and thanks you for the measurements, I know what I am going to have to decide from with an understanding of the units now. Thanks.
Thanks for your watching and we are glad that it is helpful for you.🙂
Great video. I drive a 2015 Volvo big rig with primitive projector headlights.
Halogen weren't bright enough, LED's only lit up flat surfaces, especially reflective, but not the road, and so I settled on HID's.
So far, so good, but they occasionally flicker, which I don't care for. Keep on Truckin'!!
That is great, and thanks for your watching
Before anyone starts buying $400 LED or HID kits for your car, please consider the setup of your headlights. Is it a reflector or projector housing? If it’s a projector, is it a halogen projector, LED projector or HID projector. My car came with a stock halogen projectors and without proper knowledge I immediately swapped out the halogens for a high end LED bulb with the expectation of putting out much brighter light on the road. It should come as no surprise that the foreground (the area directly in front of your vehicle) was bright AF but I noticed my car couldn’t light up the road ahead. Turns out, the beam pattern of LED’s vary greatly compared to halogen bulbs and within a week I had to switch back because I kept driving into potholes and couldn’t see shit
Bro my car is skoda laura and it has Halogen projector, I am also planning to get LED lights for it... After reading your comment I am changing my mind.
HIDs work better in projector headlights. I'm glad our car has reflectors so I'm happy with our top-of-the-line LED.
So basically I'm still good with duct taping my flashlights to the hood of my car....
No...thats stupid...
Use super glue.
Hahaha
@@enbardis Naw duct tape fixes everything 🥴
Better to drill it in
Very detailed, scientific and also explained well in layman terms. This really helped me with headlight upgrade selection. Thank you for you incredible attention to detail!
hid 4300k -5000k is the best bro...
Optoelectronics for _my_ ride, been there done that, as your test clearly shows! 😉👍
Interesting results. From my years of testing and multiple retrofits. A good ballast, bulb and hid projector 4300K to just under 5000k retrofit beats any drop-in kit. This is 100% of the time. It also outperforms many oem LED setups too. My current 2017 Lincoln OEM hid had horrible output and the LED helped for that car. Neither of them come close to the Honda S2000 AP1 Hid retrofit on my Dodge Magnum. Denso quick starting ballasts and Nightbreaker D2S 4500k bulbs.
VERY good video !! very helpful for DIYers deciding on headlight upgrades - 2 thumbs up !!
Should of went with 4300k, 5000k or 6000k for Hid, why use 8000k for your test. The higher the Kelvin color from 5000k, you lose brightness
Yes, it is using 8000K HID for test, the color temperature will be different at different distance. 4.3K is kind of yellowish color, which is not good performance for HID, usually for most HID, it is 8K.
@@AllaLighting If you really wanted a good test, you would have used 5k. Instead, you used 8k, which cuts down on the light output. 5k is the sweet spot.
@@AllaLighting 8k is not the usual application for most HID, ya'll smoking some good shit
@K M Do you feel better?
Hid will always be better, tech on led chips and drivers aren't there yet for small purposes like headlights.
Thanks for your time to do this, alot of info.
This is exactly what I was looking for, a straight comparison of different lights in different areas. Thank you for making this video and educating us.
finally someone shows you in a professional way
thank you very much.
Thanks very much for your feedback
Should had used 5000k or 4300k hid and brightness readings would have been better. Looks like you used 8000k hid for test...Unfair bro because its lower lux.
Man this is a thorough test.
Best comparison video found in my entire life. Subscribed and commenting. Have a great day/life
Very interesting test, though I don't quite understand the rather large delta of color temperatures. I guess it depends on where in the light cone you measure, for projector type headlights you can get quite a bit of chromatic aberration towards the edges of the light cone (regardless of light source). But 8000 Kelvin HIDs are not OEM standard for many cars, it's usually more like 5600K.
Great testing but agree with others on getting the correct bulbs of each to compare.
Very helpful! Thank you
I'm mad that most people are using "your"/"you're" the wrong way.
Great video, haters are gonna hate
Fantastic demonstration guy! One of the best I've seen. Thanks for the effort and time.
Great comparison. Simply explains different between different lighting sources. Great job. Thanks!
cos different is different (different between different)
Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to perform this comparison.
It is our pleasure
Gone over to LED in my Honda CRV. Love them over halogen but my last car had factory HID lamps which are superior ...LED is a good cheaper alternative if you want white headlamps but dont want the expense of decent HID kits
Bulbfacts.com is your friend.
thx for your the interesting video and effort !
Awesome Video man ... getting new fog lights for my charger and headlights and bulbs for my mazada 6 .. great information .. Thanx
凄く分かりやすかったです。
お疲れ様でした。
Great video much appreciated, exactly the info and supporting information I was looking for.
Cool, thanks for your feedback, we are glad that you like it
Thank you for this video! It is very thorough
super great job. Many thanks!!!
Very thorough, thank you.
I have the f2 led bulbs amazing 👌👌👌
That is great, thanks for your comment.
Nice video, thank you for the effort and very informative.
for the night driving safe, use 4300k. It gives you more information of road environment.
5000k or 6000k would be your best options if you want something whiter. I have used 8000k for long time and no problems with them
I been watching review after review of people talking about LED/HID/Halogen, but your's is the first video I've seen that actually breaks down each one. Thank you. This is way more helpful than just talking about them.
Thanks for your feedback, we are glad that is helpful for you🙂
Thanks for the info very informative
Thanks, alot of info🙌👍
Thanks for doing these tests, I am now sold on LEDs for my reflector headlamps. Upgrading from sealed-beam halogen which are too easy to overdrive at highways speeds.
@Mike Guilmette lies. Been
Using LEDS for over 5 years now. Definitely better than halogen.
@Mike Guilmette leds are great if you have projector headlights. Anything other than that and you will blind people.
Well done and thanks.
You should test it again while keeping the color temperature of all 3 nearly same.
Dam this is done so well it can be a university research paper 👏 I like the wider brighter beam of the LED
Thanks.
Very good video, gives idea what to expect from each.
Bro thanks for this video it really helped me to understand the difference between Halogen,Hid & Led. Today you added something new to my knowledge
brilliantly made. very helpful. thanks
Thanks
Great job mate!!!
Thanks for this
I would have loved to see the color meter readings . that sekonic meter is so good i wish i had that thing.
cool video :)
Absolutely fantastic video 😎
I've never had much luck with hid
they look bright
until you start driving 🤣
I'll stick with my Phillips led
This was a brilliant effort! well done mate! thank you
Thanks very much for your feedback, we are glad that you like it
Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward for the comparison with a HID/Xenon with like 4300K or 5000K.
Thanks for your comment, yes, great idea, we will have more comparison video to be posted, and thanks again for your time to watch and suggestion.
Alla Lighting Automotive LED Bulbs yup go more Factory OEM color 8K is a bad testing bulb
4300k are probably the most versatile, best visibility in dark, rain, snow
The best headlights bulb technologies comparision. Excellent video 👌
I can tell a lot of work went into this, great work.
What can i do for a 2006 DTS? The headlights both low and high beams are horrible and can't see much. Looking at the headlights, they appear very bright and white.
The effort that got into making this video.. wow.. bravo...
Thanks
Best test ever
Nice video. Very informative. Thank you
Very clear explanation
Good hard work 👍
I know this i late, but... :) A verry good comparison test! Thank you!
Отличный канал!!!хорошее видео !!!!привет из Беларуси!
Well done! Your test methods are better than most of the scientists in the world. Thanks for the information.
Thanks very much, we are glad that you like it.
Best explained video about bulbs.thanks 🙂👍
Thanks
Weird to use an 8k HID, imo they look best between 5-6k and still have impressive brightness. Also what brand HID bulb are you using? Not all bulbs are made equal when it comes to hids
Agree specially if he is using a DC output ballast instead of a AC output ballast.
Agree, shouldn't be using 8k bulbs
You gave us the best test on UA-cam! Thank you a lot!
this is the best test
Great test, very well done!
Thanks very much.
Good video, after watching so many video, this video helps to decide the light for my car, thank you
Good job!!!!
Great video ,you explained everything 🙏🏻
Thanks very much for your feedback
Have been tested using LED, Halogen and also HID. I choose HID for natural bright and also cost.
Very detailed. Excellent comparison.
thanks.
Very informative sir. Well done. Thanks
T🙂hanks for your feedback, we are glad that you like it
Awesome video
The led is the clearest of the bunch. I'm assuming that the lux differences have to do with the distance and brightest areas of the beams since between the led and hid, the measurements fluctuate. It would make sense that the brightness should decrease with distance in a linear fashion. 🤔
Pfft... Not impressed. I'll stick to my kerosene lamp lighting my car
Lmao
Pfff! You nasty petrol head! The better lamp runs on acetylene.
Hillbillies! Use flashlights
OSCAR BADILLO is that the “good old days” everyone says we’re so great?
Buhahaha
Great Video
I just got rid of my LED bulbs and replaced them with 6000k HID and it is so much better with the HID kit, has a clear cut out, better range, and that nice OEM style white like the xenon models
Thanks for your comment, we will have comparison test to see how it looks for 6000K HID performance VS LEDs. Currently a lot of different brands LED headlight bulbs, which have different performance, we will have more comparison test videos in the future, thanks again for your time to watch and comment with wise idea.
@@AllaLighting its a pleasure... Glad to help out
Awesome content
Informative
I love this test. Finally, something very scientific, data driven test results unlike other videos out there that doesn’t back their claim with data and it’s all words, opinions, bad camera lighting and they sound like a desperate sales person. This is the real deal backed by data. For those commenters defending HID or LED-I’d like to see these commenters do the same exact data driven testing to prove their point. Basically, video proof with well documented, scientific data or it didn’t happen.
Thanks very much for your feedback
Very useful
Hid ftw 6k is my sweet spot 🍭
Thanks for your comment, and hopefully you find what you like.
Thanks for your detail information which will clear the vison that which bulb can we select in our car.... thank dude.
Thanks very much for your feedback, we are glad that is helpful for you
wooow nice report
I have a doubt about the reading of lux of LED at 33 feet.
very nice，professional test
Thanks very much for your feedback
nice comparison
What is the ceramic adhesive used in assembling the capsule in MR16 reflectors ?
Laser👌🏼
Subscribed just because of respect. Love the amount of work done in the video.
Thanks very much.
Without a doubt the best review of a product I have ever seen. Puts consumer reports to shame.
Everything's fine. Hid are more suitable to be a headlight drawing peak lumens at 33 feet or 10 mts. But beyond that distance it fades out. Another biggest issue would be it would be hot like hell which would degrade the housing over time.
So led is the winner for me.
Hi,
It is a good test. I like it a lot since I have the same car lol
i just about to buy the LED kit to my car
I would like to know how did you do to turn on the little bulb under the turn signals, the one that makes the LDR lights.
My car has it bus doesn´t turn on /:
Thanks
I have projectors. Looking at some different lighting ideas
Top top, everything we need to know about power output. Very good review
Thanks for watching, if you have any questions please feel free let us know.
I like those LEDs. What brand are those LEDs and the kit?
I prefer the color of a good quality halogen for winter driving.
