    I can understand why the JW is popular on motorcycles. When you only have one headlight, you gotta get the best balance of everything possible. It arguably has a better (and more complete) beam pattern than the Holley, while still being decently bright.

    Are those Holleys sealed or you can replace light bulb? I heard LEDs are actually burning out quicker than old fashion filement bulbs so that means that rather than bulb I need to replace whole element? Seems like a lot of waste. I also wonder if they are glass or polycarbonate. Old lights have them glass so they don’t get hazy, but I guess that if LED is losing it’s brightness and will burn out earlier than filament bulb it will not even get a chance to haze.

    • @HeadlightRevolution
      @HeadlightRevolution  Před 2 lety +1

      The filament is replaceable, LED will outlast nearly any old fashioned halogen bulbs.
      The lenses are poly, poly is stronger against impacts, and with a UV coating they will not haze up from sun exposure.
      These Holley lights are tougher, brighter, and will outlast any glass sealed beam on the market.

    To help potential customers compare to their current setup, could you be more specific about what your benchmark "halogen" was? Saying halogens is a broad brush since some are designed for long life (thus dimmer) and some really pump out the lumen, then fail in 150 hours because they are over driven.

    • @HeadlightRevolution
      @HeadlightRevolution  Před 9 měsíci

      We're talking standard, OEM halogen bulbs you find in your OEM headlight. Not high-performance halogens, such as the Vision X 100W bulbs.

    The Vintage LED option would actually be illegal in Europe unless the reflector was designed for the LED bulb - which it clearly isn't. There's a few companies offering E-marked LED headlights over here, from brands such as Wipac, Stedi and Nolden. Stedi even make a sealed, E-marked LED headlight called the Homage, which is designed to look a bit like a classic car headlight. To me it looks like a Truck-Lite, but I'd love an independent test to see how good it is.

    It’s annoying to hear you talk about ‘halogen sealed beam’ lights. Sealed beam lights are INCANDESCENT (conventional) lights and put out substantially less light then Halogen lights. Halogen H4 lights (such as Hella or Cibie Z-beam) have replaceable Halogen bulbs (so they are not ‘sealed beam’). I wish you did a comparison between TRUE ‘sealed beam’ incandescent lights, quality Halogen H4 lights, and LED lights. I suspect that even the best LED light pattern and total output may not be as good as the best halogen lights on the market. But we don’t know that from this comparison. (I agree that the best LED lights have substantial advantages, chief among them the reduced power draw, so overall may still represent a superior solution).
    I have fantastic Cibie Halogen lights with 55/65 bulbs (so, nothing crazy) in all my classic cars and am supremely happy with them. I would consider changing to LED if you could demonstrate their superiority?

    • @snailmont5oh
      @snailmont5oh Před rokem +1

      There are H4 type halogen bulb/housing sets like Hella or Ciebe, and there are sealed-beam replacements that have a non-replaceable halogen bulb inside. There are also full sealed-beam bulbs that have bare filaments in a sealed housing with an inert gas inside.
