Thank you for your tests. I have put Osram CBIs in my Lexus and have been very satisfied ever since. High beams are hardly ever needed, even on a completely dark road, combined with the AFS, the light output is absolutely excellent.

Such a professional video. From the camera angles, to the explanations, you’re a great presenter!

Bravo, Sergiu! Super idee cu redarea inregistrarii testelor in paralel cu momentul sponsorului!

I did the Sylvania H13 LED and I absolutely love them! True plug and play and I didn’t even have to re-aim. I can see at least twice as far than the stock halogens. They already paid for themselves by letting me see a line of deer soon enough to safely brake.

Such a great, straightforward comparison. Thanks!

👍 Good stuff! Your graph on the wall is awesome information. Providing the numbers after the 20 min heat saturation time is VERY important. On the road longer trips are where being able to see is most important as the speeds are higher and being aware sooner can save your life.

Lithuanian subscriber here, thank you very much for this video, im also in search of best value of xenon bulbs, this video is gold :) keep it up.

Sergiu killing it as always!

Happy to see the test results. A bit over a year ago, I needed to replace one bulb in my car and it seems that previous owner had Osram Original and I bought the same as only one side needed a bulb. If I would need both bulbs, I would definitely purchased Night Breaker Laser.

Amazing, thank you for taking the time to review and compare.

Thanks for the hard work you led segment really help me on the purchase.

Your videos kept showing up in my searches. Before I even watched one, I thought to myself, it would be cool if an engineer evaluated bulbs and other products like this. And here you are, a quality automotive engineer haha. Glad to see it! Great content!

This was an awesome video. Super informative and helpful. I hope there’s a video on the Phillips bulbs next. Especially the xtreme vision gen 2 😊 👍🏾

Excellent testing, review, and presentation of the results. Thank you!

Seriously!? 😂 Yesterday I was looking for this content on your channel, because one of my xenon bulps is broken 😄 Now this gap is filled, good job! 👍

Hi, Thank you very much for testing those bulbs - great video and well explained!

Great control on the tests , nice work , keep up

Thank you very much Sergiu for all your efforts.

Very high quality videos these, those views through the welding glass looked fantastic!

Thanks man. Clear and detailed, well presented. Appreciate this, have subscribed.

Very good comparison. Maybe for the next test in addition to the new Osram bulbs, try adding some other brands or chinese xenon bulbs, just for comparing the numbers. Thank you for your work.

Best video about light ever made!!!! Thanks.

Excellent video. Your videos keep getting better and better

Great video. Easy to follow and logical. Thanks. Like others have suggested the Philips XV would be a welcomed comparison to add.

great video again ! alot of us is waiting for Indicators comparison !

Great, informative video as ever. An observation - I don't recall it being mentioned that the light output and colour temp of all these bulbs will change after a 'burn in' period. This can be anywhere from 200 to 500 hours and the light output typically improves after this time. Could you perform another test to demonstrate this? And compare new, out the box performance with performance from the same bulb, after it's 'burn in' period? Keep up the great work.

thank you! your story helped in choosing.

Perfect demonstration 👍👍👍

Awesome work! Thanks you so much!

Thanks Sergiu. Helping us get past the advertising claims

Great video thank you Sergiu.

Mükemmel değerlendirme. Karar vermek için mutlaka izlenmeli . Teşekkürler...

Awesome video :D , keep them coming :D

This has been massively helpful. I have just had to replace my cheep Chinese hid bulbs with the phillps cool blue ones. The old ones where burnout after a year

Thanks very much for your time, an objective test like this surely took a long time. I was going to buy the most expensive Osram bulb, but will now search for the classic D1S instead. My present Xenon bulbs in my 2008 are the original and now some 16 years old! I'm sure the new bulbs will make a significant difference.

Another thing that plays a big factor besides old bulbs or poor condition lenses is the lights projector. Very common on E39 BMW 5 series xenon lights for the chrome plating on the projector to go dull and even be burned after many years of use. Tearing down the light and replacing the projector with a high quality one like Morimoto along with new high quality bulbs such as Osrams or Phillips and new lenses gives insanely amazing results.

Amazing video. I would like to see a comparison between Philips White Vision gen 2, Philips e-xtreme Vision gen 2 and Osram Night Braker Laser. Also I would like to see how an LED bulb perform in a xenon projector.

Tank you very much. You saved me a lot of money. And this was the first good comparison I’ve seen. Subscription made. 😎

awesome comparison, thanks!

Fajny test. Właśnie zastanawiałem się nad kupnem Philips Gen2

Excelente video amigo, te sigo siempre Saludos desde Argentina .

Excellent work my friend as always.. I have been importing HID’s for almost 12 years, and my supplier manufactures both Phillips and Osram. And also a cheaper brand, I have tried LED’s but I believe the manufacturer always over run them by voltage so the delaminates from the cooling surface and in my experience Xenon. Last longer than Led and also makes a better light output beam than LED, and the longevity between LED and HID the xenon is far more superior and better value for money on the long run, I have had ballasts and bulb failure with HID and one should make sure not to buy a DC ballast but rather an AC as it’s more gentle on on the bulbs, Just for fact sake I am still using my original set of HID’s in my Fiat and it is going 13 years now and for a long time it was my preferred vehicle for night driving, maybe I should look into replacing bulbs 😀 with new stock. I should

Excelent explanation, thx so much!!!

WAUW this is good information and save me money. This is good information test Osram and the video made a good case for choosing the classic. Dit is goede informatie test Osram en de video heeft de keuze voor de classic goed onderbouwd

Great video. People also need to take into consideration headlamp restoration. Even with best headlight bulbs, the output still can be bad. I just bought Orginal OSRAM, and the money that I saved by buying cheaper ones, will use them to do the restoration.

Thank you for the video. Just got my new van with Xenons and I was interested to see what are my options for upgraded bulbs.

Sergiu Gabor: Your videos are very good. You are a Professional! It would be nice to see a video of how much brightness xenon bulbs lose over their lifetime.

Thank you so much! You just saved me a lot of €€ and bought a set of Osram Classic's 👍

Awesome vid and testing, thanks

Another excellent video. Thank you.

Thank's a lot! Great job!

amazing presentation, thank you very much. personally i went for the cool blue intesnse which i found at the price of 92 euros (Greece). Again thank you

wow, such detailed video on such a niche topic, liked it ver much

Excellent comparison

Great video! A video on the halogen bulb lineup would be useful too

Amazing Content, keep it up

Fine Test! Great Job! Thanks!

Nice video. When you tested the colour temperatur and brightness were the bulbs already burned in? Because they always get brighter after 10-15 hrs when they burned in. Thanks and greats Matthias😀

I enjoyed watching your test video.

Wicked video thanks I've just been out and got the osram night breaker d1s bulb thanks

Very good detailed video thank you! The only thing hard to judge is how good my stock bulbs are compared to these bulbs

one of the best lighting systems i have driven is from 2012 Volvo V50 With Bixenon + LED Highbeams witch all so included automatic curve lights. Each time i started the car it calibrated the headlights. Up down left and right witch was friking amazing.

I can't like the video twice but I can post a comment. Good job, Sergiu! Keep it going!

Great video brother!

solid video!

Really interesting :) Do a similar test with Philips lineup too if possible :)

Thanks a lot, helped me to decide to buy the basic osram xenon bulbs to replace the tired ones in my car. I do have to say tho situation is slightly different with halogen, where OSRAM CBI bulbs are considerably much "better" (not that yellow) looking than the classic/standard ones. And the price difference between halogen standard is CBI is not that crazy either if comparing to the different Xenon's. Also the same above mentioned Osram CBI bulbs almost perfectly match the stock xenon colour spectrum, in case you need to replace yours. Done this to all of my xenon-equipped cars (VW mostly)

Exatly the info i was looking for

Super test 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥

Very,very good video! Thank you!

New subscriber. so quality videos Sergiu thank you

Amazing comparison. I'm also curious about chinese bulbs, sukioto and stuff. Maybe you can add them for the next episode.

Big thanks! i have chosen OSRAM XENARC - Night Breaker.

Dobra Robota ! :)

Jo video Gabor

Very good and clever lesson 👍

Great video!

Interesting video. Thanks!

Renault Vel Satis headlamp unit. Great video for me as I own a Vel Satis and have family members with Vel Satis too.

Bravo ! Hi from Belgium 🇧🇪

Very good and informative video.

Excelente video. Una verdadera comparación, con hechos y datos. Derriba mucha mentira que circula en youtube. En mi experiencia, debo decir que ayer precisamente, instalé los Osram night brake laser (NBL). El resultado frente a los que tenía originales, fueron los mejores. Tuve que conducir bajo condiciones extremas, neblina densa (no se veía a mas de 5 mt), lluvia intensa, carretera muy oscura. Y los bombillos Osram NBL se comportaron muy bien. Pude conducir sin problema. Solo me falta averiguar su durabilidad. Que hay mejores tecnologías, claro que las hay. Pero para mi presupuesto y las características de mi vehículo, es lo mejor que pude tener

Great testing

Excelente video 👍🏻

Thanks, very good information

Nice and very informative content. Would you recommend Osram with projector headlights?

speaking of nightbreaker osram makes an h7 nightbreaker led and its legal in germany in certain vehicles would like to see you test it if you can acquire a set

GREAT! Thank you 🤩

Great video 👍 I'm interested in the equivalent test for D3S, and testing LEDs that can replace HIDs. Please do more videos and testing 👍🙂

Çok başarılı ve faydalı bir çalışma, teşekkürler.

Bravo frate!

Nice! Thank You!

5:28 - Light colour means CRI (Colour rendering index) where colour appears more vibrant and more accurate Florescent tubes have CRI of around 60-70 LEDs 80> (higher end ones are close to 95) The sun and incandescent bulbs are 100

automotive "xenon" lamps are essentially just a shrunken down metal halide lamp as used in architectural applications. Those tend to have a CRI in the 80's, while the more modern (well, maybe not so modern anymore) ceramic metal halide lamps have a higher CRI of up to 95, we used to use them a lot in retail application for this purpose.

@@Uninfluenceable One advantage of this is that barring physical damage, an arc lamp will always continue to work at some level for an absolutely insane number of years. A good example of this is the old fashioned street lights. Even when old, they still put out *some* light and almost never need replacement. But they do get dimmer and should be replaced every few years if you drive at night a lot. Me, I drive at night in the city where it's always lit by street lamps, but if I lived out in the desert, I'd be changing them every 3-4 years as the loss is noticeable.

Ce bine era pe vremea halogenelor si xenoanelor , acum la cele cu leduri gasesti doar leduri oem sau schimbi tot farul in unele cazuri 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ f bun clipul. Ai vorbit si foarte bine 😉 si nu prea se gasesc comparatii asa bune.

Hi, thanks for the very informative videos, probably the best on this subject currently on YT, do you know where I could buy a good ballast (or OEM) for Audi A4 B7 Avant (version without adaptive curve)?

More colour, I think refers to its CIR. Colour rendering index. 98 is high and means that colours will be represented quite accurately, without cast or dullness.

Good job 👍

@Sergiu Gabor Couple of things to mention. 1 . You are using only one bulb, and 10 bulbs of the same brand and model behave differently. This stands for different batches as well. 2. You need to test in high beam, because the base of the bulb can be off by a milimeter or less, but that moves the hotspot and one bulb can produce less light but due to focal point hot spot can be when in low beam. Another bulb that produce more light can have its hotspot shifted to the area which is reserved for high beam, but the lux meter will read less light in low beam compared to the dimmer bulb. 3. Different light meters ARE sensitive differently to different kelvin reading. Given LUX meter can be sensitive ot 4500k and not so much to 5500k. 4. Different bulbs behave differently based on the lens used. There are some coated lens that give advantage to bulbs with 4300k. Like the Hella F1. 5. What you are measuring is the light output measured by lux meter. What you actually care is vissible light, as light spectrum is wider than what human eyes can see. Its about the light produced in visible spectrum. 6. You are missing the Cool blue boost.

how can they vary between batches so badly, no quality control? Also, He said cool blue boost wasnt road legal and was too blue, (and probably dimmer) so he said he wouldnt test it.

Hi, I made a halogen test for my hungarian buyers in November-December. It was hard to find the brightest spot from approx 4 meters. If I moved the device +-1mm the result changed with 10%. I cant imagine how hard is to do it for xenons from 3 meters as they had to focus the max light in a much more smaller area to make twice as long light as a halogen. Are you sure that you found the brightest spot for all? The laser performance was a shame, 3% is a joke even if the light distribution was a bit better then a classic. I'm also waiting for the new xenon intense to make a xenon test before this season with approx 18kind of D2S bulb (our full range).
