Hi everyone! Today we'll test the most powerful upgrades available for halogen headlights. From the classic high power bulb rated at 100W, all the way to the 300W Xenon kit. Let's see how good these products really are! *The LEDs are rated at 60W per bulb.

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 3m and at 35m from the projection surface, where the measurement was made. Every bulb was powered using the power supply set at 14 volts.
Headlight/wiring temperature - in this test, the products have been installed in the headlamp and have been allowed to reach operating temperature for 30min before inspecting the temperature using a FLIR infrared camera. Every bulb was powered using the power supply set at 14 volts.
Efficiency loss (only LEDs) - in this test, the initial light output of the LEDs was recorded and after they reached the operating temperature, the light output was recorded again and the difference is expressed in a specific percentage. Every bulb was powered using the power supply set at 14 volts.
Waterproof test (only LEDs and Xenon control units) - in this test the products were submerged underwater for 1 hour. Every bulb was powered using the power supply set at 14 volts. Upon investigation, there was no water ingress.
ON/OFF test - in order to subject the products to continuous use, they were power on for 10 minutes and off for 10 minutes. The test lasted 10 hours. Every bulb was powered using the power supply set at 14 volts.
Flash test - in this test, the products were flashed every second for 10 hours. Every bulb was powered using the power supply set at 14 volts.
Drop test - in this test, the products were dropped every second for 10 hours. Every bulb was powered using the power supply set at 14 volts.
