like the video best part is how you show the graph that once you go to a brighter color temp bulb ( over 5k ) it puts out less light on the road. have had a few friends argue that with the same ballast the brighter the color temp the more light it puts out. some times you cant explain it to people but once you pass the 5k mark you are only making your light on the road less and less.

Great Vid. I seen some vids about different power outputs of the ballast also causes a colour differentiation given the same temperature, commonly a 35W vs a 55W. It'll be great if you could do a vid on how 'washed out' a given temperature will be with a same temp bulb. One things is not talked about clearly or lacking info online is the major differences between an 'S', 'R' and 'C' bulb as I understand fundamentally what each stands for and hence need to match the type with the design of the headlight but would be interesting to see footage of 'mismatched' setups, ie D4S bulb on a D4R Headlight or vice versa given the ballast specs are the same.

Your response to comments below you state that if you want all white with no tint of (blue or yellow) go with the 5000k. I'm a little confused.

michael rodrigues The reason I mentioned 2 different answer is because after doing this video, I realize the type of ballast (AC or DC voltage output) affected the color output on the same bulb. So the recommendation is get AC Ballast with 5000k bulb for pure white (meaning sunlight white). Some people perceive 'white' on HID as having a hint of slight blue, in which case 6000k.

4200K color temperature has less blue light spectrum and also produces less UV invisible spectrum light than 5000K color temperature; also the cops generally don't like anything that is blue light spectrum light also well its not worth the hassle of being potentially pulled over and issued a citation; the cop will no doubt say your light is bluer than his whiter looking headlights on his police car; yes you can fight the ticket citation but then one has to appear in traffic court before the judge and still pay the traffic court costs to appear for the judge; its not worth the hassle probably; one has better chance with the 4200K color temperature Hid light as that is the whitest available Hid light on the warmest available Hid spectrum with the least amount of blue spectrum light; so ones chances of successful appeal are the best overall and in your favor if you have to get pulled into traffic court before the judge.

The average human eye has its greatest sensitivity to light at a wavelength of about 550 nm, in the yellow to green region of the visible spectrum. The eye's sensitivity to light drops off and eventually goes to zero as light goes below red into the infrared spectrum and past violet in the ultra-violet region. A blackbody radiator with a color temperature of about 5300 K has its peak emission at 550 nm and so that is the color temperature that I shoot for when looking for a bulb that will maximize nightime visibility.

For cars, I tried from 2500k to 12000k and I love having 2500k on fog light and high beam (for DRL function), and 6000k/8000k for low beam. For dinning room lighting fixtures, I used 5000k, and for bed room I used 6000k. I wonder why did manufacture not using 5000k for all cars instead? 4300k stock halogens are sxitty with limited light output, and there should be a law that bans the manufacturing of 4300k bulbs.

When this video was made, it was mainly based on HID xenon lights and LED was coming into market. With HID, 6000k definitely had a blue hue. But with LED, the color temperature rating seem to be different. What I mean is LED 6000k often is a pure white color. So if you want a pure white color, either get 5000k HID or 6000k LED. 4300k on it's own looks white, but next to 5000k or 6000k it looks like it has a yellow hue.

do you recommend these on lifted truck?

What do you prefer in terms of light output and color temprature? 4300K or 5000K? I have a 4300K bulb and 4 6000K bulbs laying around, but I haven't gotten to test the 5000K yet, but very hyped to try it doe :)

+SchweinungHD I love 5000k because it's bright and pure white. I don't care for any blue as it makes it look like a cheap add on.
@Amberas19 жыл бұрын
That's exactly what I'm thinking. I want the best amount of light, and to be honest, for a street car/motorcycle, I like what I've seen of the 5000K temprature, but hard to imagine through a screen :p I'm helping a friend in his Toyota Supra getting som HID's, and I don't want it to look like a cheap add on! Thanks for the help :)

+SchweinungHD One more thing, try to get AC ballast. DC ballasts makes the 5000k look blue also. I have a video showing you this kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ6Zm5J-id1lbsk

+dial2fast I really did not think that the type of voltage would have any effect on the color temperature. I have a couple AC ballasts laying around, and those cost me a bit more. They last longer and I believe they warm up the bulb faster. I also have some DC, of the same type and design as the one in the video you sent, but haven't tried those yet. Will definitely be looking out for some AC tho! Thanks for the heads up! :)

Hey Dial. I was looking at your color chart and for some reason my 6000k's look like 10,000k's. Why do you think they look so blue? Looking for a straight white look.

If you want pure white, then get 5000k bulb with a HID Ballast that is AC output (not DC). I am running 5000k and AC ballast and they are pure white (no blue or yellow). You can see my other video on comparing AC and DC HID Ballast review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ6Zm5J-id1lbsk

I have 5000k and they look oem pure white with a slight tint of purple from close up. I dont get it. They look like the BMW, escalade lights. I really like them. But what i wanna know is you think they gave me the wrong temperature color? I dont mind i just wanna know if my lights are true 5000k or 6000k? The light output is amazing at night. Especially on very dark country roads.

Whats On Television So what color type did you have 5000 or 6000? And what brand? Does that matter? I need these cause I live on dark roads :)

What would you recommend between a 6000k & 6500k led headlights in terms of brightness?
@dial2fast4 жыл бұрын
6000k will give you a nice cool white color and good light output.
