    So they have a cooling fan, but it's behind the headlight cover? How does that work? surely the small area in between will get hot then the fan will circulate hot air?

  • @____________________________.x
    @____________________________.x 5 лет назад +9

    These things are not really going to last 50,000 hours. The weak point is the fan, the heat is going to kill it pretty quickly, and that's assuming it's not a crappy Chinese design. There's not nearly enough heatsinking on that to control the heat without a fan going at full tilt, even my LED torch shuts down after a few minutes. There is also an electronic circuit to regulate the current, again a point of failure. The LEDs are branded ones though.
    Although having sat on the motorway in front on some chav with these eyeball-burners fitted, there is no end of annoying things I won't do to piss the owner off. It's a bit like owning a BMW, it's the mark of Cain.

    • @SJR275
      @SJR275 5 лет назад +3

      Im concerned over the fact that the waterproof cap at the back of the headlight prevents any new air from entering the headlight, so even with the fan circulating it will eventually reach a point where it can't properly cool the bulbs. It's a good point that I don't know if any of the cars fitted with OEM Led Headlights have something to mitigate against this...

    • @alan4x
      @alan4x  5 лет назад +7

      yes hid kits which replace halogen standard fitments are a failure but you can only fail a led if more than half the led is inoperative so it is fine to replace halogen bulbs with led conversion kits

  • @sdgelectronics
    @sdgelectronics 5 лет назад +8

    You'll probably find a few years down the line that the reflectors in the projectors are toast. The cool white LEDs have a high spectral peak in the UV and deep blue area which degrades plastic. They'll never last their 10000+ hour lifetime either unfortunately, the capacitors in the driver electronics normally have a 2000 to 5000h rated lifetime.

    • @MatejSedlak
      @MatejSedlak 5 лет назад +1

      5000 hours is quite a long time. If on average you spend 2 hours daily drive, it is probably going to be during the day, when you are running the DRLs. Can't really comment on the UV, but the intensity of the sunlight is 1000x more than this 30W bulb. Also, the LED SPD starts where UV ends so not sure about the degrading. All the LEDs are equipped with poly optics and not a single problem. The difficulty with LED is that they degrade over time so it is going to be hard to say if they are still good. It is non-sense to purchase 4500lm bulb, when a standard 55W halogen is 700lm. More lumens means more power thus more heat. So bulb designed for 4500lm with detuned power supply to half the power will greatly increase the lifespan of the bulb and it may not be required to use a fan. Of course, many Chinese 4500lm bulb might in reality be 1000lm. So need to be proved by a certificate or at least measurement protocol. The LED chips in that bulb also must be branded (Cree, Osram, etc.).
      It is also important to note that the "blue" light makes it easier for us "to see" - this is how the eye works (without much theory). On the negative side, blue light attracts insects - so the insects will be killed and the whole front of the car will be much dirtier with LED (or Xenon) than halogen.
      There are "warm white" LEDs which are 10-15% less efficient than the "cool white" LEDs which are often used with colour temperature 5000K-6500K.
      Warm white LEDs typ. 2700K or 3000K would be better. As they have less "blue" in their spectrum and appear like halogen, making less damage to not only insects but also our eyes - at night. Simply because "blue" is the domain of sun and for the thousands of years of evolution, we did not know the blue light at night.

      Hi Alan, another great video as usual from you and always a welcome addition to see Monica !
      I have also seen Twenty20 led bulbs, similar to the ones you fitted.
      I have seen them on www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk and they have a compact pair for £39.99 with a 3 year guarantee !
      Unfortunately they did not fit in my 2012 Ford Galaxy but they have another pair at £65 (on offer from the usual £95) which have a small additional control box but which look relatively easy to fit.
      I am just deciding whether or not to get them as they are a bit more expensive but they are also 200% brighter, have the correct beam pattern so will not blind oncoming drivers and have that 3 year warranty with free returns if they go faulty.
      I think I might have talked myself into buying them 😃

    I've fitted a set of these to 2015 Mk5 Estate, here are my comments & findings:
    As bright as a set of hId's I has on a MK3 Mondeo.
    Had issued with fitting the bulbs but manage to do it. In use quick to come on but they do have a good beam cut off, with these you can make it out.
    For the cost, just slightly more than a set of standard Halogen H7 from a well know high street reseller.
    As for fitting not bad, but having to more or less to remove the bumper is a joke (what was Ford at the time ?) I just wish there was a set for the main high beam, but having the DRL's with the mains, I will have to stick with what's there.
    I ordered from the web site and had them just over a week later.
    All functions of the headlight are not affected by the bulbs, so high adjustment is fine, no fault lights in the dash.
    Ask me is 6 months time for an update then.

    Thank you for the videos, you managed to talk me round into buying a MK5 which I am collecting next week.
    Just a quick, with regards to night time driving with the led bulbs, you have mentioned the beam pattern was good, is the distance you can see with these bulbs increase and also the strength of the beam.
    The reason I ask, I fitted a set of led bulbs quite a while ago and I suffered with this situation.

    The facelift vauxhall insignia halogen headlight bulbs are exactly the same as the mondeo, useless, i nearly knocked a guy down on a country road, i simply could not see him until i was right on him, i decided then and there to change my headlight bulbs. I decided to try LEDs looked on Amazon, for the right type, 9012 was the type, then to make sure they would fit inside the headlight housing with the back cover fitted, as some of them are too big, as in too long to fit snugly. I found one described as mini, which was a perfect fit. Winpower was the brand, and as the insignia uses the same bulb for high and low beam, the cost was not that much. The difference is out of this world, no flashing from oncoming traffic, so the beam is spot on, and they light up the whole road, i now feel safe driving on unlit country roads again, plus, the insignias bulbs are alot easier to change, plenty of room to get your hand in behind the headlight housing. Why modern cars seem to lack in the headlight department is beyond me, as in too dim.

Personally I put my high beams on so as to see past the dazzle as your driving into blackspots at the side of the vehicle. They ticked the options list when they bought, leased the damn thing. Super bright headlamps? Great for you not everyone else. And don't get me started on fcuk wits who drive with front fog lights on all the time.

They are a big selling point it seems. If there ever coming over a hill and your outside the dark cut off point you are absolutely blinded and just hope you don't crash.
