Turn signal leds will be interesting to see too
Yeah. I'd like to see how turn signal led fares compared to incandescent bulb.
Yes, and how to install them, because of the less resistance they have.
@@christiann7320 You need an inline resistor.
I have them. They are too bright. But you need a separate resistor to remove the error. I have bulb H
@@christiann7320 In general you'll need a completely different flasher unit as well. Conventional ones designed for incandescent ones may not work at all or the timing might be wrong. The wiring to the flasher unit might also need to be modified.
Another clear example of 'you get what you pay for'
It's shocking how much shit is made and sold by companies that just don't care..
Well its made in china.. so no one really have influence to stop this massive loss of resources to make something which is useless. EU could ban import of these but there are always loop holes how to import anyway. Same as when incandescent bulbs were banned, so merchants started selling them as heaters.. which they are. :D
Especially sold on places like Amazon and EBay.
Another clear example of “why pay more for the same?”
It’s shocking how much shit is bought by people that just don’t care..
It people don’t buy it, they won’t make it
An eastern european version of Project Farm!?
But with more character
Finally, another automotive channel without bullcrap showing viewers all the stuff we want without the jank shit around. Big respect for your creations and keep your work up!
Salut Sergiu . Iti multumesc pentru video clip. Lumea este un loc mai bun , doar fiindca exista oameni ca tine. Sarbatori frumoase iti doresc. M-ai ajutat mult cu acest video. Mi-ar placea sa am prieteni ca tine.
One light that could actually be worth changing out for a led could be the reverse lights. In my car, with led reverse lights, I can actually see what's behind me when reversing in a dark environment. The incandescent one's where mostly just for alerting other drivers I was reversing. With these leds I don't have to install external auxiliary back-up lights.
I can actually follow up on this Idea. I have in mind some products that are worth testing. Thanks!
@@SergiuGabor Perfect! That would be great since when I was shopping around, alot of brands clamed higher light output due to "LED-technology" (wow, so cool!!!!!), but when comparing lumens or if you calculated lumens/ watt for the lamps they end up around the same level as the normal incandescent ones. You really have to make sure you're buying one's with guaranteed higher output.
@@SergiuGabor Hm, wonna see how mine and a couple of people I know's reverse light bulbs compare to the rest, would you like a link to the item or a name perhaps?
P.S Nice videos, I'm waiting for my Bulb E to arrive soon, feelin not so confident about replacing now.
Possibly the best 1157 LED bulb review I've seen yet. Moral of the story: don't ever buy Chinese. Now then, who sells the Osram bulb in the United Kingdom?
Man I love the way and order in everyone of your videos. Great job!
Wow, such an incredibly thorough, accurate and immensely useful review. Thanks for taking the time to do this review, it's very much appreciated. I'll be buying the Osram ones as they perform well, and in UK work out nearly half the price of the Philips ones.
Perfect tests 🔥 Thank you!
WOW so far your the Best at rating bulbs etc with humor added! Thank You!!
Parabéns pelo excelente vídeo!
O melhor teste de lâmpadas do RUclips!
Yet another great in-depth video. Thanks Sergiu.
Excellent review, Sergiu. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
you are the best for reviewing products man, hats off to you. Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Merry Christmas to you too and thanks for the great content.
Damn, was not expecting the ending to be so wholesome. Great video mate.
Subscribed, great content and underrated. Good sense of humour as well. Keep making quality content mate.
excellent comprehensive and unbiased testing. Thanks for making the video and sharing..
A really informative and professional video, I can't not believe how good it is! Comparison to classic halogen was the perfect inclusion. From my practice these parking/stop LED lights seem to be always inferior to classic halogen, and your video can finally support my suspicions!
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Happy to see that the Phillips X-treme LED 1157 socket P21/5w were worth the investment (had to import them to Europe because they weren’t available here in 2016 which made them extremely pricey) I immediately recognized these led bulbs have the placement of the leds in the same position as the filament type bulbs. So that helps the light output gained by the reflectors behind the red glass.
Wow great information man thanks! Happy holidays.
Даже с субтитрами смотрел на одном дыхании, классный тест)) - Even with subtitles, I watched in the same breath, cool test))
Great video!
I just upgraded (almost) all lights bulbs on my two cars.
I did not upgrade headlights (high and low beams, and fog lights are better on halogen bulbs) and turn signals (because they are noticeable different in turning on and off).
I switched to LED in order to have more reliable bulbs on the parking, brake, reverse, and interior lights.
On the interior I also wanted better light.
I chose Philips, due to its great build quality, but also good reliability.
I am really happy I did - especially after seeing this video.
Multumim pt test. Craciun fericit!
As you usual good comparison and fair reviews keep it up. Best Wishes for the Holidays. Markas
Very detailed and informative. Great video!
Thanks a lot for the Summary.Well Done👍
Pretty amazing stuff. Thanks to you I won't be going out with my tail (lights) on fire. Getting the Osram or Philips.
all your videos are useful!!! Thank you
Brilliant, very informative and entertaining!
Super video, bravo! La cat mai multe in continuare, big like!
Man, you are veery under rated. You deserve waay more viewers and subscriebers
Sergio, thank you for the very detailed review👍
I'm astonished and haven't seen another video mention heat. I have been under the impression these bulbs run cooler. I opted not to convert the lights in my classic car to LED but I DID convert my instrument panels lights over to LED. Now I'm thinking about taking them back out!! Good video and detailed.
Foarte bun video, destul de explicit si cu exemple si demonstratii pentru fiecare led in parte, acum stiu ce sa imi cumpar multumita tie ! 😁👍
I love it when he says I thought this bulb would "melt your eyes" and was surprised LOL
After watching your video, i ve just taken t10 5w5 parking light amber Chinese bulbs out of my car. Thank you the test.
Thank you for the video man, nice content and fun :)
Impecabil ca de obicei! Felicitari!
Very informative,good work
Best tests on RUclips!
Nice video! I haven't a clue that I'd laugh so much watching video about light bulbs ;)
Great video. The humor is fun also. :)
I have been using the Philips LED bulbs on both my cars for about three years and like the way they work. One of the bulbs failed but I replaced them under warranty. I was surprised at how hot some of the cheap bulbs get and the brake light didn’t get that much brighter!
Thank you very much Sergiu
Thanks man, good work.
Perfect video! please make next video about reversing light thanks :)
Excellent video! Thanks
Happy New 2023
Amazing video!
Thanks man. great info.
humorously aloof and technically competently good video.
Hi, Sergiu & followers:
I' ve just met you while searching for some ultra bright, confiable and compact H1 LED bulbs for my old, but perfectly preserved 1998 Seat Ibiza.
In the tail lights of this car I installed LED "H" type bulbs for all functions (Stop & tail, fog, reverse, and turn signal lights) around the year 2020, coinciding wiht the publication of this video. They cost about 3 or 4 € each, at Ebay.
I must say that the improvement in luminosity has been remarkable in all of them, and therefore also in safety, and today all the bulbs still light correctly. Definitely, one of the best investments that I' ve ever made in my veteran car.
Greetings from Santander (Spain)
Ciao!!!
Excelent, ca întotdeauna. Se vede că îți place ceea ce faci și presupun că o spun în numele tuturor, se vede în comentarii că ne uităm și noi cu plăcere! Sărbători fericite și succes pe mai departe!
Get this man a piece of salată de boeuf and julfă :D
Îți mulțumesc tare mult pentru apreciere, ție si la toata lumea care apreciază aceste videoclipuri!
Great test, if I could suggest something that would be an additional test of resistance or power consumption, which would tell us if those LED's indicates broken bulb error in your car :)
Great Video Mate, xmas tree LOL 😁
I love your videos, best described
I watched your video while thinking about the bay15d led lamp to mount on the Thule bike carrier, and it was very informative.
thank you very much. I clicked subscribe and like.
Excellent video!!!!! Been looking for a test on brake light p21/5w leds
Excellen to see numbers in a comparative
Best video on youtube. I have been searching for a good led bulb to install on a gm cruze brake light... I think i will keep the halogens. Thank you!!
That was very timely and informative. I do wonder if an LED will light faster than an incandescent to give more time to brake when the driver ahead slows down. Finally, your English is much better than most North Americans but you made one mistake. It is never correct to say "could saw." It is always could see, or can see, did see. I saw what you did yesterday or I saw that movie is the correct usage of the past tense.
Thanks! Yeah.. I noticed this mistake when I was editing the video but it was too late to make any changes.
@@SergiuGabor Don't worry about little things like that, remember it's ok to make mistakes.
Thanks for the great content :)
I have a set of philips (different shape though) for years. Light output and pattern are perfect and instant on is so good.
Share model name then please
I've had the Philips version of the 501's (silver band 4,000k?) in for over 2 years and they e never missed a beat. They replaced cheaper versions that blew faster than a hooker. Will only put Phillips in from now on.
Sergiu, you've got great content! I love your videos and your sense of humour. Kudos for keeping it funny and light, while still being as in-depth as possible.
My 1995 BMW R100RT uses two separate bulbs in the tail light. A regular P21W for the brake light and a P5W bulb for the tail light. The P5W seems to have been largely phased out from the automotive industry. It's got the same socket as the P21W, but a smaller glass dome and - obviously - a lower light output.
I'm looking to replace at least the tail light bulb with an LED, in an effort to reduce power draw as much as possible. What would you use?
I think different reflector design giving different result. Thanks for the comparison,, i hope next comparison is turning light regular bulb vs led replacement
I have been using philips bulb shown here for 4 years. still no problems with our grand cherokee. great product.
Really enjoyed your videos. I bought the Bevinsee H1 bulbs for my full beam after your recommended them and I am genuinely astonished at how bright they are. I already have 55w Xenons for dipped beam and the LEDs are hands down brighter. Can you PLEASE do some interior lights such as C10W? The markets are tough to find good products and videos like this save us so much money! Keep up the good work!
Wow, really happy I could help you! So nice to hear this.. Yes, I'm planning on testing more lights in future episodes. Next will be reversing lights. 20 to 25 different bulbs 😃
You are so funny. Excellent tests 👍
15:07 only philips&osram are bright enough and cold enough .
Great video !!!
I have the chinese one B its really dim and the difference between break and parking are indistinguishable
You should also test them in the freezer for us in cold winter climates.
Every winter I have at least a few LEDs fail and start flickering/die completely.
How many minus C degrees? Which one bulb do you have?
Bun testul ăsta. Felicitări! Am luat de curând o pereche de Osram LED 21/5W. Foarte ok sunt. Sper să țină mult. Totodată am mai luat pentru reverse light o pereche de Vanssi 7506 P21W LED. Contrucția lor pare bună, iar therma manangement-ul e în parametri, cred. Oricum nu funcționează un timp îndelungat,fiind becuri de mers înapoi.
Great video
I have LED H on my signal bulbs. Pretty good and bright plus no hyperflashing! But seeing your results on parking/braking lights, I'd stick to incandescent.
me too i have LED H for all of my tail lights. signal, brake and reverse. I might as well change my Break light into stock halogen and leave the signal light and reverse light installed. although my signal light LED H will hyper flash after around 3-5minutes of use
I like too led bulb etc..good job friends
Great video as always Brother!
I’ve been using BulbH for rear turn signal lights for a year now, those bulbs are tried and true IMO
They are made by 1797 (T20/7440) I live and drive on the Northern Prairies of Canada though, so overheating an indicator lamp is unlikely here.
Un review Excelent. Mai sunt si cele de la Sylvania.
And sylvania zevo.
For me, personally I still prefer the incandescent type of lamp.
It's a tried and true technology, that's been perfected for over 100 years. It's not perfect. But it does the job without a fuss.
Yup..led tail lights are f×××ing blinding
I had a set of generic (though apparently high output) brake light LEDs in my car, and they lasted ~1.5 months before both had failed.
The set of Osram LED bulbs has been running for ~4 months now, and while they cost just over $23, I like the output and the expectation that they'll last.
Having a warranty is nice as well...
Very useful & knowledgeable 👍
From INDIA - Karnataka State
Bulb H is a really good value. Good light output for parking and almost same brake light as osram and philips. If you have an old truck and you want to do an upgrade, i dont reccomend spending 70 dollars to get philips/osram. Bulb H is good enough for much cheaper.
Buen video 👍🏽
Gooooood test, thanks
Great test, I've got E in my old ute, prob one of the better of a bad bunch.
Salut Sergiu, I think it would be better if you tested classic bulbs with 13.2 V. If you measure the voltage on the bulb in your car you'll hardly get 14 V I think. With 14 V in the test it might be much too in favor of the incandesent bulbs. Personally I stick to these because of the bulb outage systems that hardly tolerate LEDs and because of the certification. But I understand that many users might want to switch to Osram/Philips LEDs because their performance is really good.
Anyways, you're doing a great job, mult,umesc for the test! Merry Christmas from Poland.
Another useful 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome ending...
Brilliant review. Twenty20 make amazing brake and indicator (turn signal) bulbs.
I concur. Running stop/tails and indicators. They are both heaps brighter than the corresponding incandescents - but must be facing the right direction to get the full effect. I bought 2 pairs of indicator globes, intending to do both rear and front. Unfortunately my fronts have the globe facing sideways so they were dimmer than the incandescents. I also got hyperflash when I swapped out the fronts, so I gave up that idea.
I have installed the Osram LEDriving Taillight's today in my Suzuki Celerio: it's true they aren't that much brighter, but I can already see the difference. Twice as bright as incandescent is already enough, because else it becomes blinding to drivers behind you.
The bulbs from Osram actually aren't that expensive: I ordered them from eBay, for € 20 including shipping.
Very helpful
My god, this channel is so underrated..🤣
Nice comparison.. This is a channel that we want.. @project farm russia edition :D
Nice video! Have you made similar tests for turn signal bulbs?
Bulb H is excellent! 4* at least! I use it and believe me I've tried every single bulb on market.
dobrý den, žárovky i ledky se testují na 12V a na autě max 13,6V je jasné pokud jim jako v testu naložíte 14V že budou jasnější ale taky budou produkovat více tepla ! Tedy tento test mi nepřipadá úplně v pořádku ale naznačil +- jak svítí. Jinak osobně mám ledky všude na autě a ještě jsem se nesetkal s tím že by ledka měla vyšší teplotu jako žárovka!
I have just ordered my retrofit tail LEDs, and I am glad that I ordered the best one, according to this review. My headlights are already upgraded and they work great, having a perfect beam pattern, great light output and no complains from the incoming traffic.
Sergiu, you are doing nice reviews. You could only use a better English accent. Maybe you could consult some native English speaker. It would improve your pronunciation a lot and by that your viewers would increase. Maybe you can improve. If not, you are still OK. Otherwise you seem to be a great guy and you are definitely doing a great job with your reviews. I am also Romanian and I know that we are not good at taking criticism. This one is for better, though.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
Meh, I really like his accent. His pronounciation is perfect, no stuttering or " and uuuhhhhh and this uuhhhh thing".
@@Deiphobuzz I agree with you that he does speak fluently, without any hesitations. This shows that he is well prepared for shooting the videos and probably he could have the text written in advance. This is great again. Lots of strong points that I do appreciate. His pronunciation is the only tiny thing that he could improve from my point of view. He may not be able to get better at this, but it doesn't matter that much. He is still a pleasant guy to watch and he provides great informations to us. 😀
Great content as usual Sergiu :) Have you planned to make similar video about Xenon HID bulbs d1s,d2s? Thanks and have a great year ahead!
Of course!
@@SergiuGabor Awesome, thanks! I will stay put them, haha 😁
Philips XV2 my favorite, clean OEM looking bulb, warm white light but just perfect for my viewing pleasure. Can’t stand LEDs, whether from factory or aftermarket. Too blue and long term driving strains your eyes for extended trips. But thats just my preference and opinion.
Hey you should do same test with filament bulbs. They are also available for car tail lights.
Problem with the light output is that lux measures light output in green specter since it’s the specter human are most sensitive to. And when you try to measure light output of monochromatic lights (with clear led chips) which produces exclusively red spectrum you get 0 lux. When you measure full spectrum leds (with orange led cover) which produces light in all spectrum but most of the light in red, you get some lux measurements, since there are some green light coming out thanks to luminophore. When you measure incandescent light it shows the greatest lux measurements because incandescent light actually output light in all specter almost equally, so when you look at it directly it glows almost white (since all colors add up and become white)
👍👍👍 great test. I am looking to upgrade an old fire truck light bar, 10 bulbs 1156 incandescent. I’ve heard halogen would have too much amp draw. Looking into LEDs. I have read a suggested Osram SL P21W. Couldn’t find them in the U.S. I’m guessing Osram/Sylvania 7506BSYLLED is in my future, thanks to you.
