I hate it when a company makes a misleading claims to entice consumers. They should be called out!!! And thanks for doing that headlight revolution.🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Meh, I have a don't knock it till you try it mentality. With that said, they actually perform well for what they are, especially for only being 190 bucks. They do well against the SS3 pros too
**Disclaimer** I am a consumer who buys pods to give real life unbiased and honest reviews, im not associated with Oracle. With that said, I have a real life video of the Oracle Vega 4s. You're going to be hard pressed to find a pod that's this bright for the money plus the 5 year warranty. I mention warranty because most cheaper end pods don't have over a year warranty. Also, when talking about the HXBs, The HXBs are over 300 dollars more. These weren't designed to compete with those. I put it next to the SS3 pro spot beam for the heck of it, just for reference, and the Oracles actually held up really well next to the 300+ SS3 pro, plus the Oracle doesn't give off a massive halo around the center of the beam like the SS3 does. They're built extremely well imo. Entire housing is metal. Longevity is still in question being that they're brand new, but for 190 bucks and a 5 year warranty, PLUS 20 bucks for yellow or amber covers which is cheaper than the competition is worth mentioning. As far as what they claim, I agree with you there. But they're budget pods with a 5 year warranty and cheap accessories.
Thanks for some real-life feed back! It's important to note this testing was done in a controlled studio environment at a standard of 25 ft. As we mentioned in an earlier comment, it's quite normal to have a power level for pod lights. Diode offers Sport, Pro, and Max levels; Baja offers Squadron Sport, Squadron Pro, etc. However, it's important to do the testing and show the real #s. Oracle is claiming some crazy stuff with their "informative guides" - so we figured we'd show some real-life # numbers so people can decide where to put their $. If you think the Oracle pods are for you and you like them, go for it! For those looking for a budget-friendly alternative, we can see why they'd be a great option to cheaper pods on the market vs the proven industry's best.
@@HeadlightRevolution it's also important to mention price though. That's mostly what the Vega's are about. They wanted to make a budget friendly pod with good output and offer the best warranty they could for the price of them. I'm not saying they're for me but they are still a quality pod and worth looking into if you don't want to spend $300 on the NCS, SS3 pros or the Baja designs Sports.
Now if you want to take one step further. A better light (in my opinion) should be 5000k or less as it has been proven to be less fatiguing when driving for long periods. Plus, a quality light should have a CRI of 80 or better, without bleeding of color in the corners. Good CRI helps objects stand out.
I bought a set of turn signal leds with resistors GTR.LED601 from HR for a 2013 F150 and after about a month or two my left set periodically wants to hyper flash. Can't diagnose the reason. All the other replacement leds from HR function great.

That said, Diode Dynamics Stage Series and Morimoto Bangers are just plain 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 - the Mori HXB's are literally like channeling the sun
We 110% agree! Add Baja, KC Highlights, and Rigid to the list too - all industry leaders in the offroad market!
And wheres the DD SS pros?? Money where your mouth is guys cmon..
Good work making this and educating us. Unfortunately in my case, this video came out too late. Vega 4.
Been waiting for this video since I saw the Vega lights were announced.

Great info!! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

LOVE THIS - awesome video to hopefully save some folks from buying stuff based on marketing vs. actual real world measures of practical usability.
Thank you!
Noting but the facts! Thank you guys!
Our pleasure!
Great video. Thanks for calling out the BS:er.
I don’t have any of the spotlights shown, but I have 1 Lux at 1,000 meters/3,280 feet.
Nice comparision vudeo.
Have you guys tested Nacho lights and how it compares to Diodedynamics, BajaDesigns and Morimoto's ?
We have not heard of Nacho Lights
@@HeadlightRevolution probably a stolen design....
IE: Hey man, those Morimoto lights?
Oracle: Nah, they Nacho Lights now!
How far apart were the source and the lux meter? It looks like about 23 feet, is that right?
We keep all of our testing at 25ft.
I’d like to see Morimoto 4Bangers vs Novsight Halo series. Make it happen!

I'll stick with my KC Hilites 👌
KC is definitely an industry leader as well, so good choice!
Well I assume they didn't compare against the HXB because the HXB is also $100 more while the NCS is in the same pricing bracket.

More like the HXB is over 300 more and the NCS is over 100 more
Is there going to be tail light replacements coming out for the jeep gladiator? Been waiting and not wanting to use the oracles that are out now
Believe Morimoto might be working on some stuff now!
@@HeadlightRevolution 👀 👀. I’ll definitely grab a set!
=💯💯💯💯💯💯
nice way to call these bozos out for fake advertising!
ORACLE IS GARBAGE! ALL THE "INFLUENCERS" HAVE LIED TO ALL OF US ABOUT THE QUALITY AND WONDERMENT OF ORACLE. THEY ARE PAID LIARS AND ORACLE IS CRAP!
