About the Rating:
At the end of the video, I thought that it would be a nice idea to have a rating for the products that I test. So, based on the general 5 star rating used all over, I made my rating to better suit my personality. The rating is based on my testing and my opinion of a specific product. It takes into consideration many factors like performance, reliability, availability and many other aspects which are essential to a consumer. Of course, some of these factors may not be applicable to other regions or demographics. As price is another factor in this rating, a product may be cheaper in other regions, rendering my rating as inadequate. In this case, you should reconsider if the product is suitable for you or not.
About the tests:
Light output - This parameter was measured using a specific instrument called the Lux meter. As the name implies, this measures the LUX value of a specific light source. In other words, the amount of light that is hitting a surface. Compared with Lumen, which describes the total light output of a light source in all directions, Lux is more relevant in this case because it measures the light projected by the headlight. For example, a poorly designed headlight bulb with a high lumen rating will not focus the light properly. therefore it will have a bad Lux reading. We are interested in road illumination, not specific bulb brightness. The test was performed using a projector type headlight and a reflector type headlight. The headlight units were positioned at 3 meters from the projection surface, where the measurement was made. Every bulb was powered using the power supply set at 14 volts. Both headlights are used to recreate real life usage. In general, projector headlights offer less light output because the light needs to pass through an additional medium (the lens) which, with time, can get dirty. Moreover, projectors have a smaller mirror further contributing to its lower light output.
Efficiency loss - This parameter was measured using a TSL2591 High Dynamic Range Digital Light Sensor positioned at 30cm from the light source. The code used to run on the Arduino was configured to record a reading every second for 30 minutes. All bulbs were powered at 14V.
Real wattage - This was measured using a high accuracy power supply. The bulbs were powered at 14V. By multiplying the volts with the amps, the real wattage can be determined. NOTE: some of the power consumption is reserved for cooling.

My laptop is in service and I forgot to put links for the products in the description and a few other things. I'll update the info asap. Sorry about that guys.

[@juancarlosortiz9688]

can u test the new led of quartz?

[@fredokrueger7538]

It lacks the temperature of the halogen in operation to be able to compare to LEDs

[@lo8693]

Can we send you some led for testing and comparisons? We just want honest reviews like yours not bias

[@danuber5559]

[@viccooper6160]

Hi Gabor, I’d love to try the Bevinsee led in my car (Honda Accord 2003-08), originally it’s a H1, but my concern is it will not fit… The halogen bulb is a super tight fit, leaving less than one millimetre movement around when fitting through the hole on the back of the projector. Are those made to not be bigger in diameter?

[@johnnyjimj]

I just wanted to let you know that this video answered all the questions I had, except for operation in DRL mode (for systems using high beams driven at low voltage and intensity). Your in-depth study of the different bulbs was extremely helpful, like no other on youtube, or anywhere else for that matter! After carefully reviewing all your reviews, I went for the X-7Seven X-Apollo and found a source on Aliexpress at around $50! I must not have been the only one who saw your video to come up with the same conclusion, because after I received my order for low beams a month later and confirmed the incredible brightness and quality of these LEDs, when I went to order a set for my high beams, I found they were all sold out, all 1000 of those the seller had on stock when I put my order in back in early November!!! When I put the first bulb in, it outshone the remaining three halogens by such a wide margin that they seemed like parking lights in comparison! And, in my reflector, the cutoff was very crisp, the same as with the halogen! However, because of the insane brightness, I felt I had to lower the beam angle a bit to avoid blinding oncoming traffic from the light spill and fortunately, wasn't flashed at on my first drive. They are actually so bright in my low beams, that the halogen high beams don't add anything at all anymore! This old man thanks you warmly for having helped make his night driving stress-free again, and sure hope you will continue testing more of these LED Headlight bulbs! Subscribed!

[@4ndY252]

Hey, would you mind sharing the link? Also, how good do they work as high beams?

[@JannyUK]

Great comparison, this is exactly what I was looking for and love the style of how this was set out and tested. I currently have Auxito but the one before the silver version (cost around £15). Currently looking into another brand for my reflector headlights. The silver being around £30. My choices so far have been AUXBEAM F16 PLUS, Bevinsee, Novsight Orange / Green and Cougarmotor Dualdrive? Currently just looking into cheapest and best which Nov Orange seems pretty good for the price and performance whilst the rest are around £45 the Nov Orange is £30

[@o-1111]

One scientific method of comparison with mathematical analysis. This is the best analysis on headlights I have seen so far. Thank you very much for your video

[@caporal888]

WOW, Sergiu, just WOW. As always, you never disappoint. You make us fellow romanians PROUD. I'm not hoping, I'm sure you will become one of the best car-products reviewers on Yt. Hats off to you, PLEASE never quit making this type of videos (with that unique comic-feature of yours, it makes everything so much more pleasant to watch). The ammount of work you put into making these videos is (for now) so underrated, but we can all see it's fun for you as well and you love what you are doing! As for a feedback and a suggestion: I have tried a pair of LED H7 lights that cost me ~100$ on DEPO projector headlights for a Golf 5. The results were quite disappointing in regards to what I expected for the light output AND brightness. The DISASTER was when I had them in foggy/rainy conditions. I wanted to throw them in the trash can after that road. I was (almost) blind on the road because of them. This is where my suggestion comes: I (personally) had those LEDs at 6000K light which has a blue(ish) colour output and after further research I learned that this is not a very comfortable colour for our eyes. Our eyes are most comfortable with color temperature arround 4300 - 5000K (4300K being stated as the best one of all; I personally like the 5000K, which should be pure white). If it is possible, could you try making some tests for these LEDs on foggy/rainy conditions? ALSO, I think trying different color temperatures would make these tests even more relevant (of course between the most desired of them 3000 - 6500K; anything above/under those values have no meaning, other than looking like the clown from your video ^^). Thank you again for the video and keep up the outstanding work!

[@jochemvandenheuvel4695]

Dear Sergiu, i really love watching your reviews and find them very informative. Based on this video i have contacted the makers of the Apollo X7 because on their website i indeed could not opt for shipping to the Netherlands. After talking to them through the website chat function they added this option right away and shipped my bulbs to the Netherlands. I have the H4 dual function (high beam + low beam) and must say they provide a ton of light and i haven't had a single car flash their lights at me so to me it's worth the price.

[@jensschreiner5351]

I'm assuming you have a projector headlight?

[@zahimiibrahim3602]

Another amazing review so thorough and balanced from Sergiu. How about some of the new generation of LEDs without those big heatsinks and fans at the back that would be suitable for tight spaced headlamp units without the need to take off or modify back covers and for high beams/flash-to-pass lights that are usually on for short durations. Would love to see a review of those

[@sapte62]

Great job, as usual! I fitted the Novsight blue on my bike (projector headlights) more than 1 year ago. Great results,compared to the standard halogen bulb. Good and clean light cut, so no flashing from incoming traffic. I chose them for their small size, the fit is perfect. I can even use the original bulb dust cover, which is recommended. Keep up the good work!

As a lighting professional, I approve your test. 👍 The only advice I would give you is to use the luxmeter on a stick or a tripod with handheld display unit and sensor on an extension cord, because when you are holding it in your hand, you can be sometimes closer, sometimes further away from the sensor, influencing the reading a little bit...

[@Daavi85]

Really enjoy the great in depth and professional reviews, I've tried quite a few cheaper Chinese made H4 LED headlight bulbs over the last few years in the $40 to $60 range and none have been reliable and only one had a good beam pattern from my reflector housing which was an Auxito bulb, I know which bulb design tend to get the best results but after your original review which I found to be the most in depth on Osram I decided to buy a pair of Osram H4 LEDriving HL gen 2 bulbs after my 2 month old Auxito's started to give out and I must say these have been the best LED headlight bulbs I've owned, while the specs listed are less powerful then other brands I've tried these actually perform much better on the road in real world conditions comparatively, they have better light output/beam pattern with a good hotspot due to higher quality build, design, chip placement and have been running reliably/perfect for about 7 months now, I'd compare the brightness similar to high performance halogen bulbs I've used in the past but with pure white 6000k light and so far longer lifespan, sure there are brighter LED's on the market but for the price I think they offer a good value LED upgrade, they're half the price of the Philips LED's and can be had for $20-$30 more then quality high performance halogens, very important is longevity, other brands I've tried ( some appeared in this video) didn't last 5 months or less, I wish I'd just spent the money once on the OSRAM bulbs, it can be hard to find the right LED for your application but I'd definitely recommend the OSRAM LEDriving HL gen2 in a reflector housing from my experience, I'm very pleased with the results.

[@jesh879]

Great comment. I'm curious to see if you also tried the Bevinsee bulbs? How long did those last, if so?

[@Daavi85]

@@jesh879 thank you, I just wanted to try and help someone out there from having to go through all the trial and error I did and no I never tried the Bevinsee LED but I'm actually still running those exact same pair of OSRAMS from my original comment without issue, they've been %100 problem free and are still going strong, been very happy with them.

[@Daavi85]

@@jesh879 the brands I did try before I decided to go with the OSRAM LED was two different sets of Auxito LED bulbs and also one pair from Sealight, both sets of Auxito's had a decent beam pattern and good color but both failed within a 5 month period, the Sealights I installed had a terrible beam pattern with a strange greenish white light output so I returned them and bought the OSRAM bulbs and never looked backed, like I said I'm still running that original set from my first post and still stand by everything I said, hope this could be of help.

Thank you for doing your reviews on BOTH reflector and projector housings!! I have reflector on my car and my wife has projectors.

[@damirfejzagic2800]

I own 2007 Renault Scenic with projector low beam. I cannot describe how awful my lights were, dimmed and with lite output, I had to turn on fog lights on dark nights. I've tried better bulbs, even LED-s, but ones that were bought in store here (Croatia). I've even polished the headlights. That and LED-s got low beam a little better, but not as good I wanted. After watching this video, I got Bevinsee V45 (mainly cause I wanted as meny lux possible for lower price), and... Holy sh...! My lights are now awesome, bright and quite usable, there is no warning on the dash, and (best of all) it seems that their brightnes is perfectly aimed on the road - nobody is flashing back to me. Thank You so much! I owe You one... Here is the video taken on a dark and rainy night (wait for a few sec till I get to the dark part of the road) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppKnl4Bjm7t_rsU

Excellent review and comparison, thank you for it 👍

[@bogdanbucur3157]

The problem with very high light output bulbs is that the bleeding light above the cut-off line will blind oncoming drivers. It's the reason neither OSRAM or Philips bulbs have very high light output, because it's hard to control where that light is going anyway using LED light sources in light assemblies designed for halogen filaments. OSRAM and Philips are actually trying to develop products that can be legally certified to be used on public roads, unlike obscure Chinese manufactures. And while neither of these retrofits are legal, because they don't meet the legal requirements, OSRAM has actually developed the only street legal LED retrofit, the NIGHT BREAKER H7-LED.

[@SterNebula]

Some cars let you control the aiming of the headlights so if they seem to blind others lowering them might solve the issue.

[@bogdanbucur3157]

@@SterNebula It certainly does not. If you lower the headlights not to blind others, then you are also lowering the hotspot of the headlights hence drastically reducing your vision range. Headlights are very delicately designed and tested and what we may perceive as being good enough vision, may in fact be objectively bad and dangerous. That's why they are tested with lab equipment, with half a tank of fuel and the weight of a driver inside, on a level surface.

[@Chaotnr1]

@@bogdanbucur3157 I can attest to that. I have been driving around with different very bright chinese LEDs for a few years now and I always had to lower the hotspot because I was blinding the oncoming traffic (reflector type headlights). Now with the Osram LEDs installed I don't have this problem anymore and for me personally they are bright enough.

[@DashCamSerbia]

What is the point of aftermarket LED bulbs anyway? All they do is blind others.

[@Nayr747]

Can you explain why independent testing of good LED bulbs from manufacturers like Morimoto, GTR Lighting, etc shows a sharp cutoff with little to no bleed above it just like the OEM halogens they replace then? I understand there's a lot of cheap crappy LEDs but the nice ones don't seem to have the issues you're describing.

[@RadostinVelchev]

I have the Novsight N52 (green) in my MK4 golf on Hella projector headlights. The main drawback of using LED in projector is that the hot spot is pulled down from the cutoff line which produces a very bright spot in the first 15m Infront of the car. The light output after 15m drops significantly and when your eyes adapt to the bright spot you simply do not see the light that goes after 15-20m. Tried several models and all had the same issue, I measured the light at ground level at 5, 7.5, 10, 15 and 20 meters

[@squareeyes1117]

I bought the V45. Was going to get the V35 Bevinsee for my HB3 High beams but seen the V45 and got it instead as it was only $10 extra. I'm awaiting delivery however this video has re-assured my purchase. Being a high beam, it won't be used too often and will be dipped half the time when in use. Hopefully will help with the thermal inefficiency. On the same token however the halogens exceed triple the Bevinsee's temperature. So it shouldn't be an issue. PS I love your videos as the lights you review are all available on Aliexpress which is great for me in Australia as people like HL Revolution review products that aren't available here and are either too expensive to import or straight up unable to be imported. Plus your durability test is awesome. It give that extra firm evidence in the pro's of upgrading to LED, paying for the premium and knowing it's worth it.

[@lucasclein]

I just received mine today, was going to buy the v35 also hahaha Man, it's better than I expected, and I was using xenon before. Really really good and Very beautiful

[@beride]

Hey Sergiu, very nice video and work ! Now Philips Ultinon has come out with 3-4 different models, the 5000, 6000 and 9000 for instance. It would be great to see a test on them, as they were all approved in Germany. Keep up the good work !!!

[@jensschreiner5351]

That's not entirely correct. The 6000 version is road approved for certain models and headlights on these few models. The other two aren't and are "for off-road use" only. But from personal experience "off roading", I can tell you the 9000 ones are just crazy amazing. I only have them as high beams (low beam is Xenon), but the brightness and range is just eye opening. Well worth the money

[@MazharAliz]

Waiting for this review

[@EsotericArctos]

Anything above 6000K is going to just reduce your ability to see, especially in fog/rain and off road conditions. That super bright white light may be appealing, but you will actually get much better visibility with 5000K, especially in rain and fog. Going up to 9000K is going to give you a very blue/purple light, and this is proven to be bad in rain and fog conditions. Also, dawn and dusk, 5000K will be superior over higher levels. This is why Halogen at 3600K is actually still superior in rain/fog and at dawn and dusk. But don't take my word for it, go and research why the old oil lamps in nautical light houses were superior to electric light back in the day, That slightly yellower light penetrates fog/rain much better.

[@MymyAndCie]

Thank you so much for the video. Like always, amazing job. I bought the Bevinsee V45 but it might be a little too bright for my reflector headlight. I might buy the Novsight Green for low beam and keep the Bevinsee for high beam

I think it would be also interesting to compare led headlights that have fans and the ones that are fanless but have heatsinks like those braided heatsinks. People swear by those braided heatsinks that they perform better and lasts longer. I just cant imagine those braided heatsink can move more heat than then fan type headlights considering the air temperature in the engine is already hot.

Listen everybody! I was inspired of the latest videos of Sergio about LED comparison. That's why I decided to improve my car's projector headlights and I ordered first the Bevinsee V35. After that I ordered the Bevinsee V45 and finally the X-7 Apollo. So now I have 3 of them. I don't have the equipment that Sergio has but I can see clearly with my eyes that Bevinsee V45 are the brightest! The main difference between these 3 bulbs is the color! Bevinsee V35 has the best color which is around 5500K. They illuminate great even on wet road! I have been driving with them almost an year. On the second place is X-7 Apollo which has around 6500K. The most powerful bulbs are the Bevinsee V45 but they have worst color which is around 7000K and on wet road you don't see as well as V35! I can show you photos and videos of my test experience to proof my words. So I am kind of disappointed of you Sergio, because I though you are honest and not making a paid reviews, but this is the way to survive in 21st century and I am not judging you. Be health and I hope my comment will be helpful for those of you who read it.

[@DJIco]

It would be great on the next comparisons to include the color temperature because this is very important for the road illumination.

[@Max_-zt5bm]

There maybe an another test of resistance to carry out: that of the falls of electric tension (met when the stop&start is executed)... On my car, when the starter engages, the headlights do not turn off (momentarily), unlike other brands, and thus, two aftermarket LED bulbs broke down because of this. Morality, because of the cost of these bulbs and their short life, I put halogen bulbs back. They light less but are more resistant. In any case, congratulations for the content of this video!

[@johnnyjimj]

Interesting. You mean to say your headlights turn on when you start the car regardless of the headlight switch setting? In that case the LEDs are probably seeing a voltage spike from the stater. That shouldn't happen, most car electronics have surge protector circuits built-in.

[@pbatacan]

Is it really brighter than the apollo?

[@Sugurain]

Most countries forbid using LEDs as replacement for incandescent bulbs, specially for reflector type headlights. To get around this, I bought 4300k colored H4 LEDs from Ali Express. So far Ive tested: Passively cooled HLXG "CSP 48W 8000 lumens" Kinda weak, run hot, but silent. Active cooled HLXG "ZES Lumileds Luxeon 12000 lumens" This one was interesting because it would turn both high and low "filaments" when set to high beam. Active cooled Overhel "110W 30000 lumens (with 3570 chips)" Still waiting for this one to arrive. It would be nice to see a comparison of "warm white" leds that could mimic a standard halogen bulb! :)

Often, the headlight bulb is the same but the mounting is different. Why are there so many of them? What purpose do they serve (other than to make it harder to buy the correct one or to reuse in a different car)?

[@dylanschickel2256]

I work in the headlight industry. First Kudos to Sergiu for very thorough videos and reviews! Back to your question - the biggest answer to your question is history and geography. USA and Europe have separate regulatory bodies, and history so they historically had different light sources. First we have 3 categories - single filament low beam (H7, HB4,, H11), single filament high beam(H1, HB3, H9), and double filament (HB5, H13). Some carmakers are insistent on the light sources from their region, other insist a sealed base while others want the lowest cost. Sealed base bulbs (originally in USA) are higher cost as the bulb, but save placing the bulb fully inside the headlight enclosure compared to unsealed base bulbs (originally from Europe). USA bulbs historically had longer life then Europe ones, but now, almost all have various life choices as OEM. For High Beam - H1 is the oldest and cheapest and works well but has an unsealed base and a separate ground connection through the metal base. HB3 is the USA sealed base and H9 is the newer/global sealed base. For Low beam - H7 is the worldwide favorite, the cheapest and most efficient but unsealed, HB4 was the original sealed base now mostly unused, and H11 is the newer/global sealed base. For double filament H4 is the original sealed base with 60W High beam, HB5 was the original sealed base with 65W high beam, both mostly replaced by H13 with sealed based and 65W high beam.

The beam pattern and lux measurements, are they done right after turning the light on, or do you let them heat up?

Buna Sergiu, ce fac transformatoarele ? Ajuta doar la anularea senzorilor din bord sau au si rol de control al energiei furnizate către led!? Fantastic video!!!

[@tonyjack4871]

GREAT Review ...

[@artazamngmnt]

Great video 👍🏼 You should test the ND10 NIGHT DOMINATOR I have them on my truck fleet with projector, just got the apolo from your last video, it is little brighter but its not as uniform as nd10, there are more dark spots with apolo.

[@Rich-me5eb]

As always great video. Can you test the high power led from ledperf. Would like to see how it performs.

[@Smartestfacts]

Amazing just amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gurgengrigoryan3077]

The best channel thanks bro

[@nikiskype123]

Good content. Can you add one more test, to put the lamps in the headlight (closed with cap like in real world) and measure inside temperature and output light for extended period of time?

[@florinlepadatu5648]

excelent remark!

[@SergiuGabor]

Good point!

[@Joe_Joe20]

Hi and thanks for this amazing test I’ve been looking for years! However, could you make one for the brand new Philips Ultinon Pro bulbs? This would be interesting to see if they really improved it or not

[@MoxxiVibes]

Incredible and entertaining reviews. Thank you so much sir! Do you know if the higher wattage X7 X-Kronos will be even better than the Apollo? It's rated at 80 watts instead of 60 and seems to have a beefier heatsink.

[@bashkhaled]

Excellent review as usual , I believe after the pricing of the bevinsee with $49 it should be the best in terms of cost vs efficiency . Please make a review for projector lenses >> all the love for your effort Sergiu

[@brayanpanv5290]

Yeah, you are right, I bought them a couple of months ago, they iluminate the road pretty good without dark spots. For 49 dollars on Amazon they are a bargain

[@FELIPE8226M]

I just got them Amazon prime special for $22 lol havnt installed them yet though

[@bountyhunter_BDPaku]

just brilliant mate!

[@arthuravenido5721]

Great comparison. Been watching your posts for quite some time now and I find these very informative. Can you please do comparison on Novsight LEDs specifically Novsight N12Y 3000K and Novsight N50 3000K, all H11. Thank you.

[@alilakdawala3939]

Hi, watched a few videos and they are very informative. However i am struggling to understand what type of bulbs and brand would you recommend for a reflector headlight? Thanks in advance.

[@omgistehdrama]

I'd love to see some test of plug and play D3S LED (HID to LED connected to HID ballast, Just like normal hid), compared to ordinary HID Bulb and then compared to this test LEDs.

[@liviuci9878]

I'm waiting for that too

[@JackdeDuCoeur]

Nice work

[@cokezero24]

You cannot use infrared camera to measure the temperature of the object that have different coating (bare metal surface, painted and anodized), because the emissivity is not the same. Then the bare metal surface or anodize will always show lower temp because lower emissivity coefficient. If you want to analyze the real temperature you must use thermistor or thermal couple.

[@docyusuf258]

Hi ! At what distance from the vehicle did you measure the brightness/Lux ? This information will help us in analysing our own venhicle's bulb performance.

[@ameykulkarni8946]

Any thoughts about H19? When can we expect bulbs from OEMs? My mechanic said they are same as H4 with very minor difference. Is it okay to use H4 in H19 socket? If so, which would be the best LED?

[@sarandiskyros3657]

Great video Sergiu. Could you make also a video with Philips Led pro5000 and pro9000?

[@kashimash]

Great video, how do these bulbs compare to a 35w HID kit?
