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

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.
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.
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!
WOW so far your the Best at rating bulbs etc with humor added! Thank You!!
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.

@@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.

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.
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.
excellent comprehensive and unbiased testing. Thanks for making the video and sharing..
Impecabil ca de obicei! Felicitari!
Pretty amazing stuff. Thanks to you I won't be going out with my tail (lights) on fire. Getting the Osram or Philips.
Thanks a lot for the Summary.Well Done👍

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 :)
Very detailed and informative. Great video!
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.
all your videos are useful!!! Thank you
Man, you are veery under rated. You deserve waay more viewers and subscriebers

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!
Nice video! I haven't a clue that I'd laugh so much watching video about light bulbs ;)
Excellent video!!!!! Been looking for a test on brake light p21/5w leds

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.
Thanks man. great info.
I love it when he says I thought this bulb would "melt your eyes" and was surprised LOL
Great video. The humor is fun also. :)
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!!!
Happy New 2023
I love your videos, best described
I think different reflector design giving different result. Thanks for the comparison,, i hope next comparison is turning light regular bulb vs led replacement
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
I have a set of philips (different shape though) for years. Light output and pattern are perfect and instant on is so good.

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.
Excellen to see numbers in a comparative
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 :)
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!

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.
I have been using philips bulb shown here for 4 years. still no problems with our grand cherokee. great product.

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?
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?
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
Gooooood test, thanks
humorously aloof and technically competently good video.
Buen video 👍🏽
Great test, I've got E in my old ute, prob one of the better of a bad bunch.

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.

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 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...
Great Video Mate, xmas tree LOL 😁
Great test! Could you make a test of a Wix oil filter? The manufacturer claims a very high micron efficiency.
👍👍👍 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.
You are so funny. Excellent tests 👍
Nice video! Have you made similar tests for turn signal bulbs?

Merci beaucoup maintenant je sais lequel commander . Halogène philips longs life bay15d et ba15d pour ma voiture. Merci pour ta chaine !!!! Bonne journée
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.

Very useful & knowledgeable 👍 From INDIA - Karnataka State
Awesome ending...
I´ve had the H for one and a half year in my Golf 3 as braking lights, bright, secure and cheap on aliexpress, i would buy again
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)
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.
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.
Hey you should do same test with filament bulbs. They are also available for car tail lights.
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.
I tried to change all lights in my car to led's. 1157 are the only bulbs that left stock, could not find a led bulb that would shine good and would have integrated canbus support. I would also recommend to include Auxito led's (more popular on ebay), they have some good led's with canbus support.
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!

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.
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!
Muy Bueno, información muy interesante desde otro punto de vista. La seguridad.👍
