H4 Direct Replacement Hi-Lo LED

[bsacbob]

Recommended these to a mate, this is what he thought.

Review - H4 hi/low beam LED headlight replacement.
A friend had these so I thought I would give them a try. So far I'm pretty impressed!
- Cost about $15US
- VOLTS 10-16
- 20 watts
- 2000 Lumens
- 6000 k
- life 50,000 hours
What's different about these is the heat sink and fan is part of the diode so you can put the dust/weather seal back on the light housing as you normally would for a globe. I didn't have to adjust the light either, the light is projected really well for high and low beam. I test road for a few hours and the lens/light housing was cooler on the LED side than a regular globe. The output was a brilliant white light that gave great detail to everything it illuminated but without effecting oncoming traffic. Highly recommended product.

On my last visit to Mae Sariang I noticed the Castrol Bike Point was selling LED replacement bulbs for the Honda Wave but it looks like Honda now equip the Wave with an LED headlight as standard.

Are LED headlights much brighter and better penetrating then H4 halogen?

As it's a common item for manufacturers to change over to LED nowadays?
You would like to think there are better Colin?

And there are?

On special for 300B.

I'm wondering:
it has a fan? The air can only circulate inside the headlight.
LEDs don't like heat. In NZ the advice is not to put LEDs into downlights not vented into the space above, or life is severely shortened.
What happens on a 45 degree day?
How long is the warranty?
I don't see any homologation marks. Cheap Chinese?

I like the idea very much, but I think I will wait until it's proven.

Got one from Lazada too, works great in the old BMW! Just the design of the BMW cockpit is such that it's not easy to reach.
Peter, yes it has CE, ROHS and DOT markings on the box.
