Are you guys morons. It's not the laser that emits the lights. It's the phosphorous. The laser faces backwards and is only used to excite the phosphorous thus causing it to emit a light.

Even for a handheld flashlight, you usually want more flood. However, for a rifle light they are fantastic. For defensive use you can quasi use them as an aiming device, incredibly disorienting and blinding to anyone you point it at, and unlike most flashlights the distance penetration is absolutely outstanding and you only need to see what is right in front of and around your sights.

"Laser" illuminated phosphor has high luminance which allows long projection, but it could also be used for better light control up close, but LEDs are good enough, cost less, and are much more efficient.

The yellow glow is fantastic for really late night driving because of reduced eye fatigue, which makes enough difference that I disable my light bar on long drives because it's too blue. Mounted to my "rally support truck" I use for rallies because you need maximum throw when driving way too fast on gravel and paved roads going from stage to stage to beat the rally cars to the next stage. We'll see on long term review how they hold up. BTW they also sell then in a small housing so you don't have to lose a set of fog lights or high beam spots to use them as spot lights.

These lasers work in conbination with LED or HID (xenon) for short range (low beam). Laser is purely long range focused. Otherwise they need to make headlights like Seat does for the Leon FR where they reflect LED light (with very tiny reflectors) on the road. But then again, led is easier for that than laser since LEDs can be very small.

If it can't mimic perfectly what's supposed to sit in your housing, stay far away from it. Factory laser headlights are complicated, custom designs that can't be replaced with a bulb-swap.

LEDs are fanastic, and this is really just a different type of LED than a true laser. The problem with LEDs is how to get them to work in headlights designed for incandescent bulbs. Headlights designed from the getgo for LEDs just face them forward with a big thick heatsink on the back, and they work perfectly.

It looks like a phosphor sphere in the middle that would act as the replacement filament would be the correct solution

I think with the appropriate beam spreader and diffuser the laser would work pretty well.

It would prevent other drivers for getting that cast off from regular LED high beams when you flicker them real fast. Also, these with a blue tone would be awesome to place on a light bar for police vehicles. Drivers forever want to not move out of the way. It would be really hard for one that has a couple of blue lasers put in thru their back window to say "I didnt see the emergency vehicle."

I was just about to buy these laser lights for my mg zs ev as this car came out with old halogen boring bulbs and they burn out after every two weeks (sick of that) thanks for this video I'll go for led bulbs now I hope they work better than halogen bulbs in the projectors of my MG I saw your video for the gtr LED bulbs gonna look for those on Internet as I live in France gotta order that item online ...

From the title I was curious how it would achieve scattering/diffusion, I guess it doesn't. 😂 A hybrid configuration would be interesting, e.g. Laser for intensity + LED for spread.

If I a) had the money for it and b) had fog lights on my car, I would use these in that application. Properly aimed (a topic neglected in the video), they should do wonders to shoot light out a good distance to illuminate the road itself without blinding oncoming traffic.

I have a 2013 Nissan Altima low beams are dull no matter the type of hallogen bulb I put in. What would you recommend??

To bad you couldn't make the lenz bigger. That would be perfect for the trails when you need to see further. It would be good for a road trip, like across Montana with flat roads. I would love to pair them with LEDs. Have a pair of LED fog lights with a pair of the laser lights too.

Great info definitely passing on the laser at the moment.

Really wish you had used the HID in this test too

Excellent video. I have a question.. When you change halogens to led, what happens to the day light running lights?

That depends on each vehicle and how their electrical system creates the DRL function. Sometimes it works fine out of the box, sometimes you need extra parts, and sometimes it needs to be disabled completely - all depends on what vehicle you have.

I need a pair of these to play with... If nothing else it'd make a fun flashlight / piece.

Scratch that, like a dozen of them to put in an array, maybe with enough room for a diffuser. If the phosphor isn't a part of the lens, might be able to make them work with a reflector and a fresnel lens! Would be a fun "artificial" sun.

I love it! Send it my way so I can do some highbeam videos on the road for real world stuff! :)

I certainly feel like this tech could work (but not with that lens design). What they need to do move the phosphor out to the same position as stock headlight filaments and then give the top and bottom a mirrored cone (bottom one would need a hole for the laser to hit the phosphor). Basically the same lesson the LED bulb manufactures learned.

Thank you Robin!

Can we find a way to utilize it ? Anyways thanks for the insight. I'll pass too

Looks like it would work for illuminating the center line and the side of the road if used as a spot that moved with the steering wheel only. In conjunction with the regular vehicle lights.

If the light could move with the steering wheel, these would be SICK. But they don't do that unfortunately.

best used for stop lamps 😎

There is another brand of led assisted laser plug and play bulbs. The leds and the laser are separate so you run led for low beams but can switch on laser for further brightness

Please tell me how to power up any LED headlights to see if they work prior to installing them. Do you use some sort of a 12V testing kit?

We use a custom table and display case to test the lights. This is not typically something you would have at home, however.

In order to replace the Tacoma headlight and fog lights which v.4 bulbs do I need from your website?? The H11?

What year is your Tacoma? If it's a 16+, then that is correct! headlightrevolution.com/vehicles/toyota/toyota-tacoma/toyota-tacoma-2016-2018/
