THE BEST HALOGEN BULB H7

Halogen lamps come to the world cars for just over 20 years ago, but has already gained certain popularity among manufacturers, and among the common car owners. This has become possible due to a low-cost lamps and excellent light quality. To install the halogen does not require additional equipment, which facilitates the installation.

On the structure of the halogen lamp strongly reminiscent of the good old incandescent bulbs. There is also a bulb of carbide or quartz glass that encloses the filament and an inert gas with addition of Halogens (chlorine or bromine). These lamps provide stable light output, but very hot, which slightly reduces their service life.

THE BEST HALOGEN BULB H7 WITH INCREASED BRIGHTNESS

In addition to the standard halogen lamps at the moment, manufacturers offer all sorts of modifications. Some have worked to increase service life, in others – on more comfortable for eyes light temperature. Now we will talk about the lamps with increased brightness. This effect is achieved by the use of only two technologies:

1. A refractory filament, providing a high temperature glow
2. The use of special gas mixture injected into the flask under a lot of pressure

Such lamps are difficult to address any one type of drivers, because absolutely everyone will be useful to increase the lighting area 5-15 meters. This will allow noticing an obstacle or person and time to ottormozitsya. The rating gathered the best representatives of this group.

Rating (2021): 4.7

Last is the Philips light bulb products. This model is a strong middling. It is a mid price – not cheap, but not expensive; roughly similar to the competitors the power options and color temperatures.

But in terms of brightness Vision Racing has been hard enough to stand out, because these bulbs provide 150% brighter light beam.

2 OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER H7

Again, the products of the German company Osram ahead of its rivals on the head in the fight for longevity. Of course, the race for increased brightness slightly decreased the yield, but also 300 hours of guaranteed service life is impressive.

In addition, we, of course, would not have included this model in the ranking, without having it increased by 130% brightness. This is also confirmed by owners. Some even argue that the light cone is extended by 40 meters!

1 FUKUROU F1 H7 12V 55W (115W)

The best light output 
Country: South Korea 
Average price: 1390 roubles (2 PCs.)

The owners absolutely no complaints neither the performance nor the build quality of the products of this brand. The only disadvantage is the ban on the use of this product when driving a car on EU roads General purpose, but for use within the country they are perfect.

THE BEST HALOGEN BULB H7: THE EFFECT OF XENON

Often, manufacturers try to give budget products of their more expensive counterparts. No exception and halogen lamps, a certain type of which is made in such a way to resemble expensive and yet unavailable to the masses the xenon. To achieve this effect, some savvy manufacturers simply paint the bulb blue in color, giving a more white light. Of course, such a decision is the place to be, but still worth to pay attention to models in which the engineers have also worked on increasing the brightness and saturation of the light flux. The use of such lamps – a compromise, because the installation does not require additional equipment, but the quality of light is lower than that of xenon.

4 PIAA H7 HYPER 5000K ARROS

Excellent resistance to vibration 
Country: Japan (made in South Korea) 
Average price: 2800 RUB (2 PCs.) 
Rating (2021): 4.7

Excellent choice for replacing halogen lamps in the headlights of a passing light of different brands of cars will be PIAA H7 Hyper 5000K Arros. These Japanese lighting devices are popular in the domestic market, earning the trust of the consumer, impeccable quality and excellent performance. They generate cool white light temperature 5000 K, having increased in comparison with the adopted standard, brightness.

In addition, a quartz bulb in the base equipped with a protective metal ring-latch, which reduces the influence of vibration and shock for durability. Judging by the reviews, PIAA H7 Hyper 5000K Arros demonstrates high reliability and stability of radiation parameters, providing superior illumination of the road for quite a long time. The owners reasonably believe these lamps are among the best on the market, but to buy them requires a reliable and trusted supplier in the market there are a lot of fakes.

3 MTF PALADIUM H7

This lamp is a great example... bad way for obtaining the effect of xenon. Yes, the lamp emits light with a temperature of as much as 5000K, which is most close to the sunlight, but it comes at a trivial coloring the bulb blue. In this case, the manufacturer did not bother to change the design of the bulb, causing a weak filament simply can not break through the colored glass and gives a total of about 700 lumens!

For comparison, even the regular halogen bulbs, without technology, increasing the brightness issue at least 1400 lumens. Thus, to recommend to the outsider in our ranking is possible only in case, if you just want to achieve a beautiful kind of day. But the use of such lighting equipment, night – highly not recommended.

2 PHILIPS DIAMOND VISION H7 5000K 12V 55W

High quality build 
Country: Netherlands 
Average price: 1435 RUB (2 PCs.) 
Rating (2021): 4.8

The permanent leader on the lighting market, including for cars, has in its range of halogen lamps excellent specimens, simulating the glow of xenon. Model PHILIPS H7 Diamond Vision has painted a quartz flask, whereby the color temperature of the emitted light is 5000 K, which creates the illusion of a high quality xenon sources.

The user reviews noted high-quality lighting at night. In the fog and rain on the road, they abruptly "rent" in its efficacy, but for use in the city is perfect. These lamps are many owners are also characterized as the most reliable and durable. Overall, with their tasks they do – luminous flux pleasing to the eye, does not cause fatigue and copes well with the dark on unlit roads. For more rigid weather conditions, at all desire, they can not compete with conventional halogen lamps, the light of which temperature is closer to 3200 K.

1 OSRAM COOL BLUE INTENSE H7

Again, the first is in the production of the company Osram. This model has excellent balance, what is missing in the two previous participants. Cool Blue Intense are combined and sufficiently high temperature light (4200K), and very good brightness 1500 LM.

Thus, this light will give the effect of xenon without compromising the light and thus security.

BEST H7 XENON BULBS

Xenon lamp is a kind of business class in the world of automotive lighting. At the moment, relatively few cars are available with such optics because of its high cost. And that's a shame because the xenon bulbs provide much brighter light, and accordingly, a large area of lighting than halogen lamps. In addition, xenon has the highest color temperature, which positively affects the comfort both for the owner and for oncoming cars.

But there is xenon and the opposite, not very pleasant side. Firstly, it is, of course, the need to update the entire lighting system. Moreover, this includes not only the installation of additional equipment in the form of ignition (which, incidentally, is not less than 2 thousand roubles), but also adjustment. You don't want to you every time material of oncoming cars. Secondly, the price. Yes, the lamps are on the same level as some quality "galogenok", but the conversion and setup of optics under xenon will result in a considerable amount.

The optimal performance. High resistance to vibration 
Country: China 
Average price: 350 RUB (1 PC.) 
Rating (2021): 4.6

For a nominal xenon automobile headlamp low beam H7 Premium Optima fits just perfect. Judge for yourself by mounting the quartz bulb to the base through a damping ring of non-ferrous metal seriously increased the reliability of the equipment and its durability. From repeated temperature changes (whatever may be said about low power, but the luminous flux 2600 LM still heats the flask) the seat is now protected and not shaken.

In addition, increased resistance to shock loads. Tests in off-road conditions showed a great performance of this equipment. In the opinions of owners who use Optima headlights xenon Premium H7 is fully supported. On rough terrain or difficult sections of road lamps behave confidently, consistently working at least 2,000 hours – much longer than traditional halogen. Also appreciated that they are compatible with almost all the staff (and not only) ballasts, the presence of a broad color spectrum in a temperature range from 3000 to 8000 K and a pretty attractive cost.

2 CLEARLIGHT XENON PREMIUM+150% H7 5000K 35W

The best brightness. Long service life 
Country: Germany (made in China) 
Average price: 1429 RUB (2 PCs.) 
Rating (2021): 4.8

The brightest xenon bulb in the dipped beam headlamps offers firm Clearlight. They are much more affordable products such flagships of lighting equipment, as Osram and Philips, and at the same time exhibit the best performance. Through the use of new technology managed to achieve a greater gas pressure in the flask. This significantly increased the brightness of the luminous flux and improved the range of the review on night road. Besides, color temperature of 5000 K provides a cool white light which is most effective at night.

In addition, these car bulbs have a longer lifespan. Independent tests have shown excellent result – the resource is not less than 3000 hours. The term "life" does not depend on the nature of the operation lamp is quite resistant to shock and vibration, which do not have much impact on the Clearlight Xenon Premium H7.

The most comfortable color temperature 
Country: South Korea 
Average price: 1150 RUB (1 PC.) 
Rating (2021): 4.9

The best representative of xenon lamps in our ranking becomes MTF Light H7. This model meets all the requirements for "clear" xenon. This high color temperature (6000K), closest to natural sunlight, and very high brightness (2800 LM), which is not achieved using conventional halogen bulbs.

Also can not but rejoice guaranteed service life of 2000 hours. This, for a moment, about 5 times higher than the "galogenok". Finally, the relatively low cost – about 900 rubles. Is it possible to advise this model? No doubt.

BEST LED BULB H7

But, unfortunately, just stick a lamp in the standard headlight, and rejoice not work, because led bulbs are a point source of light, making the headlight adjustment and the formation of a clear light beam is very, very complex process. What kind of lamp to choose not to be disappointed – see our rating.

4 ZES-X3 H7

The most powerful luminous flux 
Country: USA (made in China) 
Average price: 3500 RUB (2 PCs.)

2 SHO-ME LH H7

Select users 
Country: China 
Average price: 1200 rubles (1 piece) 
Rating (2021): 4.7

Another bright representative of the company Sho-Me, the advantages of which include reduced capacity at constant parameters of the light emitted. The LEDs in this kit are satisfied with 30 watts of power for a few, but give the light output (3000 Lumens) with bright white color (temperature 5000 K). By the way, the luminous efficiency of the lamps is not lost during the whole service life, which is a decent 30 thousand hours.

Despite the Chinese origin of the Sho-Me LH H7, the main element lamps – light-emitting diodes – has been borrowed (read: purchased) from the American company CREE. The rest of the architecture of set is based on elements produced inside the Chinese firm (the fans, housing, bases). Perhaps the only serious drawback of these light bulbs include a high cost – the mass consumer not mentally ready to part with such amounts on the purchase details.
