[@mrandroidrobot6493]

BMW uses laser lights correctly as a high high beam and their range is 600m of usable light. The majority of idiots running aftermarket bulbs just blind people due to the wrong application for their housing

@@rogersanchez9635 Oh, are you triggered little man child? What is wrong with you?

[@LawrenceAbramoff]

Are you guys morons. It's not the laser that emits the lights. It's the phosphorous. The laser faces backwards and is only used to excite the phosphorous thus causing it to emit a light. Also, after market LEDs and HIDs are perfectly fine and glare free provided you aim them properly ie not a cheap jerk that try to do it themselves

[@BoopSnoot]

Even for a handheld flashlight, you usually want more flood. However, for a rifle light they are fantastic. For defensive use you can quasi use them as an aiming device, incredibly disorienting and blinding to anyone you point it at, and unlike most flashlights the distance penetration is absolutely outstanding and you only need to see what is right in front of and around your sights.

Exactly why I have HID high beams. Mother fuckers kept bright lighting me in their Ram’s, F-150’s, and Silverado’s. Now when I flash them back, they just about turn their headlights off (HID high beams are worthless if they aren’t warmed up(which takes about 20-30 seconds on a cold day), but if you just turned them off, they will pop on at full brightness like LED’s)

Laser high beams in newer cars are used in conjunction with a secondary high beam pattern. The laser is purely to illuminate very far down a highway for instance, that is its intended purpose, it’s obvious it’s rendered completely useless in any other application

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Thank you for the extra insight!

[@alvaius]

That is a current implementation but that does not mean it could not be used elsewhere in a properly design, purpose built fixture, not something it was never intended to be used in. "Laser" illuminated phosphor has high luminance which allows long projection, but it could also be used for better light control up close, but LEDs are good enough, cost less, and are much more efficient.

[@frisbee544]

You just made that up.

[@psuhorticulture]

Great video. I heard about laser headlights in Car and Driver years ago but now I see why they haven't come along, yet. Thank you!

[@suprakillavr4]

I already did buy a few of those laser bulbs. I'm using it in it's intended purpose as a long range additional spot beams in addition to my LED high beams, KC Daylighter HIDs, and Diode Dynamics LED bar all relay wired to come on on high beam circuit. The yellow glow is fantastic for really late night driving because of reduced eye fatigue, which makes enough difference that I disable my light bar on long drives because it's too blue. Mounted to my "rally support truck" I use for rallies because you need maximum throw when driving way too fast on gravel and paved roads going from stage to stage to beat the rally cars to the next stage. We'll see on long term review how they hold up. BTW they also sell then in a small housing so you don't have to lose a set of fog lights or high beam spots to use them as spot lights.

[@filanfyretracker]

I googled how BMW lasers work and it seems to me the only way this will work is for a company to make whole headlight assemblies rather than just bulb swaps. Seems like its a pretty complex system with mirrors and such inside the lamp assembly.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Yes, that's the idea. But then again, 10 years ago nobody thought you could make a suitable LED headlight bulb either - and yet here we are! I'm sure in the future someone will be able to make one that works right, but for now the technology is too undeveloped. Check this out though: betterautomotivelighting.com/2017/01/19/morimoto-laser-bulb-concept-revealed-at-dvn-detroit-2017/

[@alvaius]

@@HeadlightRevolution Except those headlight bulbs DONT work well. Your so-called beam pattern that looked just like halogen really didn't look anything like the halogen beam to the trained eye. It had holes, overly bright areas .... it was a hodge-podge of poor lighting.

[@Flyingwigs]

That's what I was thinking, the entire assembly is sending out light in one direction, all other types of replacement bulbs send light radially from a filament, arc or 2 or 3 leds. These would have to have custom optics to really make a comparable beam pattern.

[@MaddJakd]

BINGO!.......

[@shadowzedge5793]

I picked up some PerfectFits for my 12 Subaru Hatchback stock housings for a LED conversation and they work great in my application. Was wondering about these Laser type bulbs and believe they need a diffuser/reflector type system in front of the lense to scatter the beam to the reflectors inside stock incandescent housing to be a true conversion.

[@3toedSloth75]

It will be great used in different form factors that are designed specifically for laser headlights. An array of 12 of these, each with small lenses, can selectively turn on and off to avoid blinding other drivers (by detecting headlights and taillights from other cars and turning lasers off pointed at them), while still providing plenty of high-beam light in other directions.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

That’s definitely a good idea and we’ve seen some manufacturers trying out technology like that.

[@ashbashbaby2]

Surly it just needs a convex mirror in front to reflect it back at the lights refector

[@HeadlightRevolution]

That may work, but at the end of the day those reflectors inside the headlight are designed to reflect light from a halogen light bulb with a filament. This reflected laser beam pattern would probably be all out of wack even if it was pointed backwards.

[@kengarber775]

it's a concave lens it needs to split the beam and reshape it

[@arturracer1166]

I would rather think of some sort of diamond shaped prism installed in the very spot where typical bulb filament would be. It would spread laser light all around inside of headlight and make it bounce off the reflector just like it works with typical bulb. That's in theory ;-)

[@KubiIay]

These lasers work in conbination with LED or HID (xenon) for short range (low beam). Laser is purely long range focused. Otherwise they need to make headlights like Seat does for the Leon FR where they reflect LED light (with very tiny reflectors) on the road. But then again, led is easier for that than laser since LEDs can be very small.

[@JRVA1968]

Que honestidad de señor

[@illestBadMON]

needs a proper housing that reflects the light to a proper low beam pattern.. like how a low beam halogen has mirrors perfectly placed to reflect the light coming from all directions. would be great to design one that takes the light from a central focus beam and spreads it out

[@HeadlightRevolution]

That would be awesome!

[@anthonyleger6436]

That was my thought as well. If they are being used in some higher end vehicles, they have application specific reflectors/housings to use with them to get the proper/useful beam pattern.

If it can't mimic perfectly what's supposed to sit in your housing, stay far away from it. Factory laser headlights are complicated, custom designs that can't be replaced with a bulb-swap. The only option to get "giant lazurs" is to find OEM replacements or aftermarket headlight housings and even then, if the result is not safe for others on the road, return it.

The morimoto concept where the laser is exciting the photons of the the phosphorus film is going to be the go to once the design is matured. The phosphorus can mimic the proper placement of the filament and I bet could be designed to get more angle of emission closer to 360 degs.

LEDs are fanastic, and this is really just a different type of LED than a true laser. The problem with LEDs is how to get them to work in headlights designed for incandescent bulbs.

[@mmtot]

Modern headlights have been weponised, you are justified in destroying them.

[@ScenEverywhere]

Thanks for the video. What brought me to your video was how you demonstrate the fixtures out of the car. I had a couple new H11 bulbs given to me and I thought it might be possible to repurpose a car light fixture as a hard wired spotlight, hand held or otherwise, for my boat. There are no videos that address this DIYer project and I wondered whether or not you might have any thoughts on this idea.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

It's definitely possible, You would need to find some H11 housings, a 12v source, and some sort of switch!

[@danielramsey1959]

Searchlights and aircraft landing lights comes to mind.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

As the technology improves I think you are spot on with that.

[@boosted0079]

So in other words "frik'n" lasers are worthless lol

[@HeadlightRevolution]

In a plug and play bulb replacement you're "frik'n" right! Maybe someday (hopefully) there will be a useful laser product available! But not yet... Might be good for novelty's sake though!

[@michaelgillie5208]

Should be banned. Driving at night for the person going towards them is nothing but blinding.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

For now, agreed!

[@michaelgillie5208]

@@HeadlightRevolution nothing wrong my halogen or xenon bulbs. The light spread of headlamps themselves can vary from make to make and model. I have xenon 120% brighter bulbs in my car. Still nothing like HID etc and they are good enough. I drive for a living and I'm constantly blinded by new generation headlamp bulbs. And daylight running lights.

[@Nemesis2747]

Thinking about the morimoto bi-led projector with laser highbeam now. Seems like it's the best use of the laser.

[@OliverUnderTheMoon]

From the title I was curious how it would achieve scattering/diffusion, I guess it doesn't. 😂 A hybrid configuration would be interesting, e.g. Laser for intensity + LED for spread.

[@jonda2004]

I use the Laser bulb for assisting the Bi-Led projector High-beam, to provide more bright when I really need on the dark road at night. ^0^

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Nice!

[@robindas1207]

Good break down

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Thank you Robin!

[@brussell639]

I think it still needs a lot of work. But who knows? It may be the best option some day if they can get the beam pattern worked out, along with the color.

[@josephmercado868]

It be great used in a light bar setting having a row of them.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

You might be onto something 👀

[@MOOSE_BMX]

great review.. I was waiting for aftermarket laser lights. Now I know it's not what I want ...

[@soggyfries4347]

sounds war-like. I dig it.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Oh yes, for when someone leaves their high beam on too long😂

[@stevenpeterson7234]

To bad you couldn't make the lenz bigger. That would be perfect for the trails when you need to see further. It would be good for a road trip, like across Montana with flat roads. I would love to pair them with LEDs. Have a pair of LED fog lights with a pair of the laser lights too.

[@cindyhusbands2885]

very well presented

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Glad you liked it!

[@Humblebeliever40]

I was just about to buy these laser lights for my mg zs ev as this car came out with old halogen boring bulbs and they burn out after every two weeks (sick of that) thanks for this video I'll go for led bulbs now I hope they work better than halogen bulbs in the projectors of my MG I saw your video for the gtr LED bulbs gonna look for those on Internet as I live in France gotta order that item online ...

[@EGGINFOOLS]

I want a nice yellow h11 led fog light. Do you guys sell those? I got your v.4 in my 03 Sierra low beams and they fit so good and are nice a clear. The fans are quite too. I love them

[@bobtaiy2910]

thank you very much

[@HeadlightRevolution]

No problem!

[@IvanAmerson760]

An array of them would make one hell of an offroad light bar.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

So true, that would be crazy!

[@nobodytoyou4887]

I certainly feel like this tech could work (but not with that lens design). What they need to do move the phosphor out to the same position as stock headlight filaments and then give the top and bottom a mirrored cone (bottom one would need a hole for the laser to hit the phosphor). Basically the same lesson the LED bulb manufactures learned.

[@iHempUSA23]

exactly. Re configure the housing and the lens

[@jeremymann8930]

Really wish you had used the HID in this test too

[@NTRCOOL]

Great info definitely passing on the laser at the moment.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Maybe someday in the future!

[@rjansandland4256]

Very useful review with comparisons, thanks. I searched through comments (kudos for your great followups) and noticed that your comment on where to buy was there is no US supplier at the moment... Not sure if this is because you don't want people to purchase a (for cars) rather useless product or if it isn't for sale publicly anywhere....but I have been trying to get hold of something like this for a while for a search light project. At the moment my only alternative is to purchase and hack one of two flashlights but that is going to set me back at least 250usd, and I need several of these to even be close to being useful. A more barebones construction like a bulb is what I need, so if you could share some information on where to purchase I would be very thankful.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

We really don't know of any US suppliers offering this product right now. But, mark my words, by Christmas-time this exact product will be flooding Amazon.com.

[@kevinnctc]

There is another brand of led assisted laser plug and play bulbs. The leds and the laser are separate so you run led for low beams but can switch on laser for further brightness

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Kevin, that sounds interesting. Got any more info on that? A link perhaps?

[@zaxxon4]

Laser is the likely future for new cars, but will need a prism to sent it to where the traditional reflector needs it to be. The irony being that the learning process will result in sealed beam headlights getting it before the common 1990-2020 cars get it.

[@Craigrobbo2k7]

I have an Alfa 159 with 3 housings per side, currently I have them all Bi-LED (so 6 bi-led) maybe if i went down to 4 x Bi-LED and used these in the inner lenses to acompany the normal night beam it would give a super long throw and the width for a high?

[@isettech]

They need to sell it to the entertainment industry as pin spots for mirrored balls. Point source would be fantastic at producing small intense spots of light.

[@leviwoodring6101]

Might work ok if you use the hi 4 mod. So your low stay on with the high.

[@craigfam7054]

What if the refractor in the standard mirror headlight is pulled out, could be like the high beam.

[@larsjrgensen5975]

The spread is still so small that you can overlook a person standing between the lights, 5 meters in front of the car. If the "lazers" hit a reflective road sign, you might even blind yourself so much, that you can not see the road anymore.

[@blipsmann1985]

Looks like it would work for illuminating the center line and the side of the road if used as a spot that moved with the steering wheel only. In conjunction with the regular vehicle lights.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

If the light could move with the steering wheel, these would be SICK. But they don't do that unfortunately.

[@sarge27271]

Reminds me of Rally Driving Lights. Narrow field, long range. Question: What LED set works best in a 2011 Jeep Compass? (Lo & Hi beams)

[@HeadlightRevolution]

We haven't had a chance to do any testing with the Compass's yet, but if it's like any other Jeep, the S-v.4's will perform phenomenally.
