Well, car led headlight bulb is very popular now. Most people tend to choose LED instead of traditional halogen bulbs when they are going to buy a replacement car light bulb. But there is a puzzle, how bright a led light bulb can be? If you search “LED headlight bulbs” on Amazon, you’ll get thousands of search results. Those led headlight bulbs on amazon are claimed that they can output 15000 lumens or even over 20000 lumens. That is super bright stuff, you know, a Philips h11 halogen bulb may have only 1800 lumen output. Can a Led headlight have 6 times brighter or even 10 times brighter than a halogen bulb? We gotta investigate it. We get to start from Lumileds Luxeon ZES LED. LUXEON ZES is a high-power 1.6mm x 2.0mm LED that is widely applicated to car headlamps and bike lamps. The early car LED headlight bulbs all used LUXEON ZES LEDs. Later, with the increase of competition and the decline of sales prices, new led headlights began to use some Chinese-mad...

The LED bulb power usually is much lower than halogen bulb, so there is a decoder used to help LED bulb to avoid system detection in a CAN-bus vehicle. For many car owners, they do not know which kind of decoder match for the system, they have to try them one by one. There are three types of led headlight decoder: electronic decoder, programming decoder and resistor. As for various types of CAN-bus units in the current market, the passing rate of the CAN-bus system is 70-90%. However, there is still some issue the decoder cannot work out completely. Types of existing decoders – Electronic decoder Electronic decoder use capacitance to solve the defection by storing and releasing pulse current. The capacitance varies from 10000UF to 20000UF. The higher the capacitance gets, the higher the probability passing rate will be. Most of the electronic decoder has a 70% passing rate. But higher capacity it has, the higher pulse current it creates, this pulsed current can ...

There is an interesting incident, we always feel that the road seems dark to our field of vision driving on road, what’s wrong with that? It might blame to your headlights for the new headlight test. In common cases, while driving on dark or on lonely two-lane roads, which most often shared with bear, deer and moose, a factory headlight cannot emit enough lighting the emergencies on the side roads to remind the car owner in advance. For example, the Toyota RAV4 2005 to 2016 models, use an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system, but its headlight, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the best RAV4 headlights, even for the 2016 models are still only the qualified headlight that not fit the rules entirely. However, not only the RAV4 did not up to the rules, dozens of vehicles headlights have been tested, include small S.U.V.s and midsize cars, only one headlight rated “good”. That is 2016 Toyota Prius V, the best others just were merely...

In this article, we will discuss how to choose an appropriate LED headlight bulb for the projector in low beam. The following points will be helpful for a better understanding: 1.The structure introduction of the xenon projector 2.The Refraction of Light inside the xenon projector 3.Test for different types of LED bulb How do we define an appropriate projector LED headlight bulb? That means how do we choose a led headlight bulb for a xenon projector in a proper way. Most people prefer bright and uniform light with a plat beam pattern emits from a xenon projector. Even some people have brought very bright led headlight bulb in the aftermarket for their projector, but they feeling not that bright while driving after they installed it, because the light output did not perform well or emit enough brightness for driving for some reasons. So what’s wrong with that result caused? Disassemble of the xenon projector structure Before explaining that ...

M3 led headlight was launched on March 2019. it is a high performance led headlight with High-speed turbo fan, the high beam led bulb is housing with 12 pcs Lumileds ZES chip and low beam led bulb has 6 pcs of Lumileds ZES chip. The maximum light output of M3 led bulb can reach 5000 lumens (a set of led headlight). Its appearance is close to the halogen bulb. M3 series bulb is housing on a 1.5mm extremely thin copper PCB board with opposing LEDs on two sides that decrease the distance between two side LEDs. With this special design, it can make the thickness of the light source close to the tungsten filament of the halogen bulb. Emitting ECE/DOT standard light beam pattern in reflector headlight housing without any dark spot. The M3 headlight equipped with a high-speed cooling system, which can make the bulb body in a stable condition with a 1300 rpm fans. It is easy to install as well, that would not influence to mount the dust cover. The bulb of M3 used 6003 Aluminium al...

Standards for Headlight Beam Patterns — edited by Kevin This article will discuss headlight beam patterns and the standards that agencies such as ECE/DOT require. The following points will be addressed to help gain a better understanding: 1. What does the original ECE front headlight testing graphic look like? 2. The original ECE front headlight testing graphic combine with driveway image 3. Some testing points that need to pay more attention to 4. Other standards used in other countries and areas (SAE/ADR) How do we define a safe and effective headlight beam pattern and what are the standards it has to meet? Most people would say they want a headlight that is super bright, covers a large area in front of the vehicle and has uniform illumination with no dark spots. But can this be achieved and still meet the standards set forth by ECE (E-mark) or SAE (DOT)? The short answer is, YES! The keys to optimal performance are to be sure the light is...

This is our new M2 LED Headlight series launched on November 2018. Its single beam housing with 2 pics CR CSP led chip while the dual beam housing with 4 pics leds, M2 led headlight kit can reach 6000 Lumen output. With an advanced dynamic design, high counterclockwise and low vibration of the fan, the M2 LED Headlight to work out the issue of noise in a safe situation. The bulb of M2 used 6003 Aluminum alloy, and bulb body is integrated by the hot-pressing process for better heat dissipation. And it is using double layer copper PCB which provides a good heat dissipation. Because of the high adhesion between the double layer copper PCB, it is beneficial to the heat dissipation and extends the lifespan of LEDs, the LED chips would not burn out easily. All in one style, the length of the bulb body is 77mm, the width of the heat sink is 31mm. The compact bulb body is close to the halogen bulb size LED Bulb Operating Temperature Testing Testing the led bulb with 1...

Just installed a pair of 4700K ultra bright LEDs for reverse lights on my client’s 2015 Lexus IS350. This photo will tell you how nice the looking is. It’s really simple to reach the back-up or reverse lights. Open up the trunk. On the exterior of the taillight there are 2 small plastic tabs that cover a 10mm screw. The trunk lid covers them up, make sure that’s why you have to open the trunk. Remove both 10mm screws as well as give the entire taillight a lip tug towards you. It will pop loosened and come out. Be careful not to damage your bumper. Change the light bulb into the w16w LED canbus bulbs then push the housing back into the vehicle. Put the 2 10mm screws back in and cover, placed the two small covers back, and then you’re done. Don’t need to concern the lamp out warning. These led bulbs work well fitting in Lexus original OBC control system. And one thing is for certain – these led light bulbs are developed for road safety. It has an advanc...
