I never seen such a detailed review like this! I hope you can also compare them with HIDs. Cheers
Will do. I'll need a new headlight design for HIDs first 😄
HIDs are pretty irritating for everyone if you put them in regular halogen reflectors, they need projectors to minimize glare. Also they are too bluish. Nowadays LEDs are best.
@@SergiuGabor cool. Looking forward to it.
@sw4gr1d I prefer this one though
@@M-DIY doesn't it has some kind of anti-glare cover?
I like that you are improving your testing methods , regarding this aspect, this episode was impressive :) . I can`t wait for the next one :D .
Kind Regards :)
Very underrated video! The filming quality, explanation, demonstrations, various tests, etc...immaculate job! Honestly didn't expect it to be so thorough and once I started watching, thought that it's a Diode Dynamics vid, keep it up brother.
These osram led bulbs are also made in China and also sold in different branding. They aren't that good. There's false info in this video(osram vs China, these osrams are china too). Best led bulbs on market that produces best light pattern and output are morimoto 2stroke 3.0 and diode dynamics sl1 bulbs.
@@RoopeLuukkainen You were right before you edited the comment - the 2strokes and SV-4s are by far the better performing bulbs. However, both are still made in China. DD SL1's are the only ones on the list to be designed and made in the US. How do you know the Osrams aren't that good, have you tested them yourself?
@@contagiousingenuityagency5273 There's many reviews where these osram bulbs are not so good.
Huge work compactly expressed in a relatively short video. Thank you!!!

After hours watching videos of lamp reviews, I finally saw the LIGHT, Congratulations! It is by far the best information about in-car led and halogen lighting that can be found anywhere. Very educational
Dude, can't imagine how much effort and work you put into this video...insane. Thank you!
Also in my opinion one of the most detailled and best test video I have ever seen. Outstanding work! Thank you for all the time you spent to give us the information we were looking for.
24k subs only? for such a quality and detailed video explaining everything you could need and more? WOW very good stuff you just earned yourself a sub, keep up the good work!
This video was phenomenal. By far the best comparison of any product I’ve ever seen. The amount of detail was great, and those 3D graphs were very interesting! Liked and sub’d, keep up the great content!
Seriously one of the best videos regarding leds. Subbed!
Thanks for your videos. I just bought 3 different led bulbs for my Santa Fe and after testing them I found the oem halogen to be brightest and had the best beam pattern. My previous cars and truck all had reflector type and did benefit putting in led’s. After watching your video I was very surprised by the results for projector type lights. I’m going to watch your video on the halogen bulbs. Great information. Thanks.
Just discovered your channel and watched several videos. Very detailed reviews! Thanks! You deserve much more subscribers :)
The amount of dedication on this test review 💯👌🔥🔥🔥
OMG ! this is THE BEST REVIEW i have ever seen on youtube ! Man ! You just blew my mind, please keep doing those kind of review Mr. Engineer
You sir, literally tested everything I wanted to! Considered starting a channel but this is super impressive. Got yourself a sub and a LOT of sharing
OMG ! I was blown away buy the details you provided in this video and I love how much effort you put in this videos for such a small channel ! Thumbs up for that dude...
top notch comparison! this is exactly what we need. thanks for the good content
By far the best LED bulb review video on CZcams. Well done!
Awesome informed and quantitative review! Nowadays on the Internet you almost entirely find qualitative reviews based on personal opinions. This was a different one. Congrats!
The best test I've ever seen! Thank you!
Felicitari. Un test foarte complet si profi. Imi place maxim canalul tau!
This is an amazing video!! Above and beyond the quality I was expecting, you just earned a sub!
Superb review! One of this depth and science behind it, not trusting what is written on the box. You rocks Sergiu! Keep up the great work!
As others have said, fantastic method and application, well done, and much appreciated. Two things I'd mention. Cars don't run at 12v, as I'm sure you know, so real wattage should be measured with a voltage around 13.8v. This will affect the Halogen output massively. Other thing is that if (like me with my Nissan Leaf and it's LED dipped beam) you are only looking for a high beam solution then all of this worry about beam cut-off is quite irrelevant. I am of course in a tiny minority created by the crazy engineering of Nissan, but just thought I' mention it. Again, much respect for the thoroughness application and friendly presentation... Often sorely missing on the tube.
@@darekm6859 Two years later I don't quite understand what you mean. But if you're suggesting that you'd bet any amount of money that headlights receive a nice regulated 12V, well than I'll take that bet. Of course they don't. They receive the nice regulated 13.8V ish from the alternator. That is why they don't vary like back in the older days when dynamos were speed dependant. So how much money have I won?
@@darekm6859 @Darek M I've just re read my comment from back then, thrice. Where did I say anything about rpm (clue: nowhere)? Very strange turning up after two years to have a go at me for something you seem to have imagined. I did not make any reference to anything you are talking about. If you don't understand something, then ask a question. If you want to be a twit, surely you can find a more entertaining way to do it.
Salut! Aceste leduri h7 de la osram, merg și pe faza scurta la un audi a4b8. Multam tare!
Still the most thorough lighting test on CZcams yet. I prefer the ToAuto in a high beam reflector for the way it fills the road scape to the very edges like the others cannot. High beams are never used aimed against oncoming traffic anyway. It may even match stock alignment better in my high beam reflector rather than the one tested.
Bro, this is like a masters level dissertation analysis, respect! :)
The most detailed led light video I ever seen, great job mate!
Great test! One of the most comprehensive test regiments out there! I would suggest for future tests that the orientation of the bulbs as they are installed within the reflector/projectors, should be taken into consideration. Particularly the bulbs using chips on two opposite sides. Projectors, despite their name, do use a reflector to collect and direct light through the lens and the direction the chips happen to face when installed could potentially make a significant difference in beam patterns, overall performance and ultimately test results. I look forward to more from your channel! Especially with Chinese products since they are exceptionally less expensive. Thank you! Really... thank you for your work and tests!! Very helpful!
Großartige Arbeit! Great work!
Thank you so much for this :-)
What an amazing video! That was great. I have never seen such a detailed comparison.
Very nice review! I really liked how you showed the difference in light patterns these bulbs produce!
You're right with the importance of correct focus. If those 360° degree leds had better focus, they maybe could be used into separate high beams, like H3 or H1, where you basically use them on full blast for short periods of time 😉 I wan thinking about this - tried 2 sided led in the high beams and they were dimmer than halogens...
Nice round-up and measurements! I would like to add a point for winter driving, halogens have high heat output that melts the ice and snow from the glass of the headlamp. If you change a cooler led and face difficult conditions, you could lose almost all of your light until you go outside and clean the headlights.
Surprisingly proffessionally made, very entertaining to watch, and on top of that extremly helpful for my decision-making. Thank you very much for making and sharing :-)
That is the single best comparison video I've ever seen! Very professional!! Thank you!
This is by far the best testing design I've ever seen! Please do some of the more common bulbs like Hikari Ultra, Auxito y13, Supernova S V.4, GT-R Ultra, DDM, etc.
^ +1, Definitely agree, especially on the Y13, S-V4 (maybe throw a few clones of the S-V4 in the mix like Katana, Nineo, PrecisionLED Kepler, F2), and Ultra 2. A few others I would add are Diode Dynamics SL-1, Morimoto 2 Stroke 2.0, and F3.
@Andrew Schwab It's very expensive though.
@Andrew Schwab Done proper testing on them yourself (beam pattern, output, etc, etc. [basically what Sergiu has done here in this vid])? They're also a possible clone of the Ultra 2. The info that Bulb Facts has on them is pretty helpful but not exactly conclusive as they didn't test it against some of the previously mentioned bulbs.
There is no better review than this one ON THIS PLANET. Amazing job man! Big thank you!
Amazing analysis of the bulbs, I really needed and decided on a pair of Bevinsee!
This is called professional review...
Great bro.. keep it up your thoughts and effort...
For the reflector headlight the bulbs that are in my opinion the closest possible to the halogen bulb are the Osram and the Nighteye. The Bevinsee has excesive glare over the pattern even if it has the best cut from the bunch
Sergiu, incredible, how much work and effort you put into this test. This is comparable to a serious german Auto Motor & Sport test or even better, since they would not consider the chinese LED for testing. Really superb work. Thumbs up!
Great Working.👍🏻 Never met such a professional review on the automotive bulb before.
What a superb video, the effort that went into this is incredible. Thanks again!
You should measure the power output at running voltage. While the car is running the voltage in the system is anywhere from 13V to 14V. It may be higher like 14,4V or lower like 12,8V.
I checked a few and it doesn't add up to the rated spec (Osram for example).
It's important to note though that the max brightness may also be limited by the available voltage, also the life span. So yeah, the best testing measure would be at something like 13,5V.
That aside, as usual, very very good tests!
Keep up the good work!
ndc55 a properly designed LED driver electronic circuit should ignore slight variations in input voltage. Would have been nice to just check if the wattage consumed changes with higher voltage.
exactly, traditionnaly halogen bulbs are tested at 13.2V, but for modern HID and LED, with the evolution of cars wiring, it's 13.5V
It doesnt matter because they get the same voltage. It has voltage regulator. Otherwise leds would last 1-2 days
Epic job, man! I really appreciate the time you put in for this tests. But apart from us, no one will get the meat in the fridge remark. I lol'ed even harder because of that 😂 subscribed! 👌🏻
you're right ... I don't get it
@@thorn3686 the "meat in the fridge" expression means to get insulted. To "get meat in the fridge" in this context is referring to being cursed :)
The best comparison of any product I’ve ever seen!!!Thank you.
Very very good review! Had never seen a review like this before. Direct, objective an clear with all topic that interest us.
Hai ca am ras putin la faza cu Brown Eye :)) Felicitari, te urmaresc cu drag chiar daca sunt deja satul de tot ce tine de auto!
Can you test the Philips H7 LED vs the Osram?
Le ho provate io quelle a dissipazione passiva e sono ottime le monto da 2 anni
Sul mio canale trovi qualche video
Wow, excellent job.
First time I see a man who knows what is doing.
Thank you so much.
Respect and Kudos from Chennai, India... One of the Meticulous review I have come across in recent times. keep rocking Bro...👍👍👍
Just recognised you're Romanian after swearing hahaha
Nice results and tests, definitely subscribed
An accent That sounds like an Italian and Russian mixture always sticks out as Romanian to me
@@TheAsheybabe89 yep, my girlfriend is Romanian. Her English is very good, but she still has a slight accent
When we first met she was asking me to guess where she's from and my first 3 guesses were Russian, Italian and Spanish
I guess bordering Serbia and close to Latvia/Ukraine the accent kind of rubs off
can you do more led headlight reviews please, compared to HID for example, like hb4 and h7 vs hid?
you are the new project farm channel for europe, i cannot tell, how much i waited for it to test eu products. keep it up with these detailed videos, i wish you as subcribers as him in Usa.
That was an amazing video. I appreciate all the work that you put into your review, tests, and, most of all, presentation of the products and results. It doesn't even seem like you are trying to sell anything (am I right?). I like how you presented a ton of meaningful information very concisely, and you still remained a human being and not a robot. I also appreciate that you focused on the purpose of your video to provide excellent information about the products instead of on yourself as the product. I especially appreciate that your background music was very soft and unobtrusive. In fact, I didn't even notice the music and had to check. That's a sign of an excellent video editor (just like in good movies where the sound track should not be noticed by the viewer. Fantastic job, thank you! I wish you a lot of success.
Excellent review thank you for the education and technology you provide. I would really like to have seen that you have reviewed two other quality aftermarket companies in your test:
Morimoto 2Stroke 2.0
GTR Lighting Ultra 2
Those are the same seller in the USA that is selling good LED but at RIP off prices, with aliexpress you can buy it for $20 than paying $120-$200 for the same thing!!!
George Papa oh wow! Nice to know thx
George Papa I tried finding them through Ali express and couldn’t. Please provide a link if you can thank you
@@gregorygoldbarth7464 just buy the suggest one off amazon that he suggested bevinsee
George,
With all due respect I took your advice and purchased the Bevinse bulbs. I also purchased the GTR Ultra 2. I was amazed at the difference. They are not the same bulbs as you stated nor do they come from the same manufacture. In addition the GTR ultra 2 bulbs are manufactured and built with extreme high-quality, fit and finish and the ability to adjust the beam pattern by turning the bulb in a bearing sleeve that allows for optimum sharp cut off beam pattern. The GTR bulbs were also much much brighter. My suggestion and constructive feedback, would be for you to actually have the bulbs in your hand where you can actually experience what I have experienced instead of making a blanket statement that the bulbs come from the same place and are all the same. Again I appreciate what you’re doing on your channel and hope that this feedback is taken in a positive manner.
Thank you
The Bevinsee still bleeds too much in a projector, especially above the cutout. You can have a lot of lux in a halogen but it is directed on the right spots. Great review nonetheless. As for the halogen one not holding out in the water test, did you plunge it while hot or started it underwater?
I’m curious to see if the Xtreme Vision line would react the same. Philips themselves show that you can throw water on it while it’s running and it won’t shatter 🤔
You worked a lot on this video man. We appreciate it!
Amazing video! I have not see so complex test! Thank you!
4:54 nu ma asteptam la asta 😂😂😂😂
nici eu :)))
:))))
Why test them at 12 volts. A standard car will give the bulbs in the region of 13.8 to 14.3 volts whilst driving. Why not use 14v?
In defense of this approach, 12V is the nominal system voltage, and the lamps should be able to operate properly at 12V
Vehicles using a bcm or intelligent fuse block like a central gateway or totally integrated power module. Roughly most vehicles for the past 20 years use a regulated set voltage from a solid state high side driver. So the voltage is a regulated X. It could be 12v 13.5v or charging voltage. However the vehicle is configured
Current draw would be less, because it has step down converter maintaining same power.
Incredible analysis! This is the type of video I've been looking for! Thank you
Bravo Sergiu, excellent review!
And, Bafta from Canada!
You didn't calculate the efficiency correctly. For example, "Garbage":
Cold: 12V 1,78A 8.269 Lx - 387 Lx/W
Hot: 12V 1.19A 4.200 Lx - 294 Lx/W
That is about 50% of light output decrease, but the efficiency decrease is 24%.
The Osram LEDs are now for some cars in the EU road legal.
Time for time they will get more cars with these LEDs legal
Wow dude and I thought I was thorough. Thank you for your time and effort and keep up the amazing work 👍🏼
Very good review! Yesterdar I bought this OSRAM to use with projector. I saw a lot of reviews but this was the best.
Nice Romanian accent i was thinking this sounds familiar. Ai un like de la mine pt algoritm
"bata-te dumniezo" :) tare faza.
Wow, excellent! Clear and well presented results from thorough tests. The humour is the icing on the cake! Subbed. 😎👍
Amazing test dude! I thoroughly enjoyed this, keep up the good work.
Watched this video in a squint. Just getting my eye lids ready for the squinting i have to do once people put these on their bikes/cars. These things should be outlawed to be honest. So damned bright it hurts eyes and makes it so all you see is the star effects around the light.
That's only an issue if the bulbs are poorly designed, improperly installed, or the headlights aren't aimed correctly. Most of the bulbs in this test are cheap crap that I've never even heard of. But even so, you can clearly see in this test how the good quality LEDs don't output much light above the cutoff (especially with projectors). There's nothing inherent about LEDs that make them blinding. Most new cars come with them from the factory. Just don't buy no-name junk and neglect to aim them properly.
@@Nayr747 how dare you assume people will give a rats ass about other motorists.
@@Nayr747 "Most new cars come with them from the factory" - show me a car which comes with a POS LED bulbs in H socket from a factory. They are all a one piece units.
OMG the amount of work done.... RESPECT
Very professional comparison!! 👍I look forward to the next LED bulb tests!
The tests were performed at 12v while the voltage would be 14v+ in a car.
Serios? Faptul ca alternatorul scoate 13.8 - 14.5 v pe incarcare, nu inseamna ca pe firele catre consumatori ajunge 14+v
@@aldeacristian4582 14+ volti nu ajung la bec, dar un 13,5-13,8 tot ajunge. Voltajul suplimentar ajuta insa doar becurile halogen, chiar mult, pe cand intensitatea led-urilor va ramane la fel. A demonstat chiar si Sergiu chestia asta in videoul precedent.
True. The operational voltage when car is running is 14.2 V. Even the voltage of car battery when car is off is 13.2 V.
gotta love a good ol butthole joke when you're watching a headlight review haha
You definitely deserve more subscribers for the effort you put on this video!
Wow amazing review! Great work. Thanks for sharing all the details man
You should test car bulbs at 14V, not 12V.
Not true, 12.8V is the most accurate voltage that the bulbs use. Cars use smart alternators.
@@frozenwitcher4955 LOL, smart alternators. xD
How about you measure the battery voltage when the engine is running? It will be about 14.2V or so.
You gotta learn buddy. Read about the smart alternators, there are no more fixed voltage ones.
@@frozenwitcher4955 LOL, you don't have a clue. xD
It's pretty simple:
The voltage that the alternator puts out is the voltage that your car will be operating on.
In my measured opinion that is 13.8 Volt.
12.8 Volt is what a fully charged battery has to measure after having it get settled after charging.
I have philips ultinon extreme.It's better than Osram.
I just got some for my mondeo mk 5 im hoping they are good being the price lol
Old models f5 are better 😜
Dude! Such a great test! Thanks for all the good info :)
Good Video Man! I can see just how much work went into testing these. You've earned me as a subscriber - keep it up.
They all blind other drivers, no matter the make.
and destroys your Halogen Headlight.
@@manfredgeorgburggraf533how come?
Excellent review. I like the way you graphed the light output. Intelligently done.
When I saw you are Romanian like me at the beginning of the video I was not expecting much information, Romanians usually don't know how to make a good quality video.
I was very nice impressed by you and the quality of the video and the information in the video by the end of the video.

Very comprehensive testing. Only place I felt missing part is different project lens or headlight setup.
Keep uploading this kind of informative videos.
This is a wonderful test. Thank you for all the detail you supplied in this exam.
Bravo!!! Nu cred ca am vazut un alt canal CZcams cu atat de multe detali. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great review, very good evolution from one video to the next. One thing you can measure to see if the light is blinding other drivers is measure the lux outside (above) the light pattern in comparison to the incandescent light bulb.
