Halogen vs xenon vs LED, an objective comparison (complete english version) 

He put a hell of a lot of work into making this, FairPlay to him. For me the xenon’s are superior as in further and wider, and more clarity, the LEDs are slightly brighter, but the xenon’s are more high definition

Underrated video, it’s very nice and gave me the full information about these 3 types

Xenon looks to be the better with range visibility. But I do prefer the warm glow of the halogen. I’m upgrading from halogen to xenon! Thank u for the video. Very informative.

Best video demonstrating the differences I watched quite a few and none of them were so straightforward interestingly the LED never had as much coverage I thought I am installing xenon in my car right now but I'm glad I checked this video out first it confirmed that I'm making the right move

When in comes to halogen, the design of the reflector matters a lot. I could always see a huge difference between my c classes, s203 vs w204. Hoping that when I get one with xenon's/ILS I get better low beams, as the high beams are already bright enough!

Brilliant video , really helped me determine the difference between xenon and led

Great video, thanks for creating it. It even covers the mist cases 🙏. The Xenon light seems quite smooth and uniform in this video.

This is the most helpful video on this topic. Thank for the information!

Geat video, seems like LED will work fine on my next car, I have Xenon right now that I am really happy with, seems like there isnt too much difference between Xenon and Led

The xenon light looks so evenly lit compared to the other ones.

Probably the best video I've ever seen regarding the light bulb illumination source type. Most cars, especially old ones, got the halogen lamp installed which is not bad. It can be easily improved with some LED's (I'm referring to cars headlights that have no embedded LED's). This upgrade is cheap, easy to install and low consumption. There is a noticeable difference between the halogen and the rest. (and not only the colour temperature) I also noticed that there is a slightly difference between the xenon and the LED's. Defo! the xenon looks much brighter on a country road but they come with a price. I'm gonna wait for the next LED generation. What a nice video and thanks for spending the time creating it!

Not much difference between Xenon LED in terms of illumination level. As far as I know that has to do that Xenon already puts out as much light as its allowed on european roads.

Maybe the only fair video I've seen, not another one of those "influencer" type, heavily edited videos.

Thanks for showing the differents !

Fantastic video. Great work. Lingering a little longer on the facts should improve it even more. Conclusion: I wish I could combine the warm halogen colour with xenon's range. Not being possible, prefer the xenon. Thanks very much for a professional, music-(noise)-free demonstration, with no excitable, stupid chat. Regards.

strong and direct to the point, maybe missing in numbers how much brighter each type is in a straight forward number (in warmth / brightness-shine/Lumens). But still very informative video.

Absolute unit of a car test. Thank you!

That’s a cracking video well done sir.

I learned to respect xenon's when I went to replace one and the person at the autoparts store strongly recommended I go to a Volvo mechanic or dealer.

I put my full beams on when I go past a HID or LED car without projectors. It’s very fun.

Does xenon 8500k require relay ?

Nice job..! Well done. I would like to know which Xenon bulb was used in this comparison video ?

Hi sir , is xenon projector headlights good for rainy and winter conditions? Because my daily travel for work is around 250 kms so I want a headlights with clear visibility at night . BTW I'm going to buy Tata Harrier for myself but I'm confused about what headlights should I consider. Please let me know what you think

Xenon seems to be the best

Xenons winning. Nice wide and even coverage

I've always prefered simple design and I wish car manufacturers would use LEDs but with the same simple design of halogens. Even the cars themselves would look better with simpler and smaller design

God Bless German thoroughness! You provided a very nuanced comparison for real world night driving aspects. Mercedes mechanically steered Xenon's were able to extend the usefulness of the beam that other brands will not. The newer switchable did LED's still couldn't match the 50' post detail of the old physically steered and leveled xenon's. LEDs just created a harsh hot spot in front of the car but were unable to spread and project beams like Mercedes steered Xenon's. Sadly realtime on-demand physically steered Xenon projectors are gone in favor of stationery switchable diode LED's. These results are going to upset a lot of people. Xenon performance is being maximized by virtuoso Mercedes engineering in a way rudimentary brands can't replicate with their "dumb passive" projectors. Imagine the Mercedes results with an all Xenon strategy.

What was/were the same parameter(s) from all the bulb theirselves? I saw the color temperature were different. What about wattages? And last but not least, what about the prices of each bulb-set (including electrical system)?

Com certeza o xénon é o melhor de todos! Led ilumina bem em curta distância e há sombras ,xénon preenche toda a extensão com seu bulbo no projetor e a halogena ja foi seu tempo.

It's interesting that you would choose to use very different temperatures between Xenon and LED. The lower temp Xenon looks as bright as the LED that is 1500k higher

Nice!

Xenon is the gold standard of illumination

Halogen light colour is good for health and good for mist place on night drive 👍

12:07 It seems good, the halogens seemed a bit less brighter on high beam while the xenon’s don’t. However the xenons seem too bright at times that you can’t see the road completely for a few seconds sometimes. Overall better but I’m guessing the xenon’s may not be so good in fog?

Xenon in a projector headlight for me…..but to be fair, the old halogens were easier on the eyes for fatigue

Very Nice video Man, straight to the point, in this video xenon and led seems to be equal, but in real life the led is better, especially on high range cars, I have halogen on my car with magnifying glass and IT s total shit (2013 KIA ceed). Cheers man

I liked light direction smooth and powerful

Xenon is the best

LEDs seem more versatile but not necessarily better than xenon’s judging from this video.

Why isn’t the xenon light in a 2017 model as well? Wouldn’t the xenon light technology have advanced over time?

The Xenon's are looking better.

Great video! But at 12:07 you state "high beam Bi Xenon + halogen H7". doesn't Bi Xenon imply that both low- and high beam are Xenon?

Xenon (HID) is the way to go. That’s why I gone for 6000k in 2001 Volkswagen Golf with aftermarket projector headlights for all weather conditions including 6500k LED in the main beam! I don’t care what people say about you can only use halogen or they need to be warmer yellow is the best colour for all weather day and night!

Xenon is the best but on high beam it was xenon plus halogen

i am looking at the new kuga phev with leds,need good lights as i wear contact lens any views anyone?

halogen 2800K? my PIAA road legal have 3900K

I switched from a car with halogen to a bixenon one and the later one is simply blind during the night. But from this video looks like I just have to take it to a service because xenons should be a lot brighter than halogen.

Xenon is the best...

Am I only one who prefer halogen?

Políticos do Brasil por favor liberem o uso do Xenon e Led. São muito mais seguros de dirigir à noite. Em todos os outros países o uso é permitido por lei sem burocracia, fora o insufilm na frente.

Test the LEDs of Mercedes E Multibeam, S-Class Multibeam w/ ultra range leds (I believe it was called), BMW G30 w/ adaptive, Audi Q2 or Skoda Karoq. Those are some of the best LEDs currently on the market with the S-Class having the best high beams of all time.

If you live in country with lots of fog, stick with halogen. Say low beam halogen, main hid. Also hid with shutter gives a sharp cutoff, which halogen more blends, not so harsh on the eyes.

Once i put in LEDs, it was hard to go back to halogens lol

Xenon is the unbeatable best. Bye bye LEDs...

It may not show up on camera...but LED ironically is more intense than HID. LEDs give a stronger output...

When there is fog. The white lights reflects back. More than the yellow Halogen bulbs. White light is a cold color. Yellow light is a warm color.

my car has led low beam and halogen high beam. i prefer the led.

Be warned. Xenon ballasts can hold up to 33,000 volts. Handle with care if upgrading to Xenons.

HID's are still king if you ask me. LED's are still not quite there. Halogens are pretty much obsolete at this point - useless candles.

Dostum kameran çok kötü, keşke MOTOROLA telefon ile çekseydin, net çekerdi..
