Most people are familiar with regular H4 car headlight bulbs. Here I compare regular H4 main beams with a 100W LED. The headlights are narrowly focused, but the LED has a very wide spread of light.

    I got told the 100w will melt everything in my sante fe

    The difference is really amazing! You keep quite calm about it and don't get exited ๐Ÿ™‚ I am pretty amazed although i built myself a 100W Led-Lamp with condenser for li-ion battery use. I used a 100Wh Accu from a lawn mower.

    You need to turn the camera's exposure settings to manual to show the difference usefully.

    You add the beams, not comparing them man.

    Let's see it in a projector

    Why didn't you A/B switch them instead of A/A+B? Totally unscientific/illogical, Julian. Not like you.

    I have found that the 15w LED spot driving lights (similar to MR16 style) are more than equal to the low beams on my truck. Tri-LED 6,500k, and apparently no longer sold on Ebay. I find that the whiter light seems much brighter than stock lamp temperatures, even at the same lumen power, and prefer it in most home LEDs as well.

    What is this bullshit?! Ur supposed to compare both have optics or if both are away from optics. There's nothing worth showing here other than the importance of optics!

    This is a horrible comparison. You dont get light cutoff when your light is on a flat surface. Headlight assemblies have light cutoffs from design.

    completely useless comparison. Good one mate

    Only way to really compare is have it mounted in the same housing that the originals are in.
