Halogen vs xenon vs LED, an objective comparison (complete english version)

Xenon is the unbeatable best.
Bye bye LEDs...

It's interesting that you would choose to use very different temperatures between Xenon and LED. The lower temp Xenon looks as bright as the LED that is 1500k higher

HID's are still king if you ask me. LED's are still not quite there. Halogens are pretty much obsolete at this point - useless candles.

Xenons winning. Nice wide and even coverage

Xenon in a projector headlight for me…..but to be fair, the old halogens were easier on the eyes for fatigue

Dostum kameran çok kötü, keşke MOTOROLA telefon ile çekseydin, net çekerdi..

That’s a cracking video well done sir.

When there is fog. The white lights reflects back. More than the yellow Halogen bulbs. White light is a cold color. Yellow light is a warm color.

The Xenon's are looking better.

I switched from a car with halogen to a bixenon one and the later one is simply blind during the night. But from this video looks like I just have to take it to a service because xenons should be a lot brighter than halogen.

Xenon looks to be the better with range visibility. But I do prefer the warm glow of the halogen. I’m upgrading from halogen to xenon! Thank u for the video. Very informative.

Probably the best video I've ever seen regarding the light bulb illumination source type.
Most cars, especially old ones, got the halogen lamp installed which is not bad. It can be easily improved with some LED's (I'm referring to cars headlights that have no embedded LED's). This upgrade is cheap, easy to install and low consumption. There is a noticeable difference between the halogen and the rest. (and not only the colour temperature)
I also noticed that there is a slightly difference between the xenon and the LED's.
Defo! the xenon looks much brighter on a country road but they come with a price. I'm gonna wait for the next LED generation.
What a nice video and thanks for spending the time creating it!

Xenon is the best...

I put my full beams on when I go past a HID or LED car without projectors. It’s very fun.

Great video, thanks for creating it. It even covers the mist cases 🙏.
The Xenon light seems quite smooth and uniform in this video.

I learned to respect xenon's when I went to replace one and the person at the autoparts store strongly recommended I go to a Volvo mechanic or dealer.

It may not show up on camera...but LED ironically is more intense than HID. LEDs give a stronger output...

Does xenon 8500k require relay ?

I've always prefered simple design and I wish car manufacturers would use LEDs but with the same simple design of halogens. Even the cars themselves would look better with simpler and smaller design

Once i put in LEDs, it was hard to go back to halogens lol

When in comes to halogen, the design of the reflector matters a lot. I could always see a huge difference between my c classes, s203 vs w204.

Hoping that when I get one with xenon's/ILS I get better low beams, as the high beams are already bright enough!

Am I only one who prefer halogen?

He put a hell of a lot of work into making this, FairPlay to him. For me the xenon’s are superior as in further and wider, and more clarity, the LEDs are slightly brighter, but the xenon’s are more high definition

Com certeza o xénon é o melhor de todos! Led ilumina bem em curta distância e há sombras ,xénon preenche toda a extensão com seu bulbo no projetor e a halogena ja foi seu tempo.

Best video demonstrating the differences I watched quite a few and none of them were so straightforward interestingly the LED never had as much coverage I thought I am installing xenon in my car right now but I'm glad I checked this video out first it confirmed that I'm making the right move

my car has led low beam and halogen high beam. i prefer the led.

Absolute unit of a car test. Thank you!

Halogen light colour is good for health and good for mist place on night drive 👍

Xenon is the best but on high beam it was xenon plus halogen

Very Nice video Man, straight to the point, in this video xenon and led seems to be equal, but in real life the led is better, especially on high range cars, I have halogen on my car with magnifying glass and IT s total shit (2013 KIA ceed). Cheers man

LEDs seem more versatile but not necessarily better than xenon’s judging from this video.

The xenon light looks so evenly lit compared to the other ones.

Why isn’t the xenon light in a 2017 model as well? Wouldn’t the xenon light technology have advanced over time?

strong and direct to the point, maybe missing in numbers how much brighter each type is in a straight forward number (in warmth / brightness-shine/Lumens). But still very informative video.

If you live in country with lots of fog, stick with halogen. Say low beam halogen, main hid. Also hid with shutter gives a sharp cutoff, which halogen more blends, not so harsh on the eyes.

Hi sir , is xenon projector headlights good for rainy and winter conditions? Because my daily travel for work is around 250 kms so I want a headlights with clear visibility at night . BTW I'm going to buy Tata Harrier for myself but I'm confused about what headlights should I consider. Please let me know what you think

Xenon is the gold standard of illumination

halogen 2800K? my PIAA road legal have 3900K

Xenon is the best

I liked light direction smooth and powerful

Xenon seems to be the best

This is the most helpful video on this topic. Thank for the information!

Fantastic video. Great work. Lingering a little longer on the facts should improve it even more.
Conclusion: I wish I could combine the warm halogen colour with xenon's range. Not being possible, prefer the xenon.
Thanks very much for a professional, music-(noise)-free demonstration, with no excitable, stupid chat.
Regards.

Underrated video, it’s very nice and gave me the full information about these 3 types

Not much difference between Xenon LED in terms of illumination level. As far as I know that has to do that Xenon already puts out as much light as its allowed on european roads.

Maybe the only fair video I've seen, not another one of those "influencer" type, heavily edited videos.

What was/were the same parameter(s) from all the bulb theirselves?
I saw the color temperature were different. What about wattages?
And last but not least, what about the prices of each bulb-set (including electrical system)?

God Bless German thoroughness! You provided a very nuanced comparison for real world night driving aspects. Mercedes mechanically steered Xenon's were able to extend the usefulness of the beam that other brands will not. The newer switchable did LED's still couldn't match the 50' post detail of the old physically steered and leveled xenon's. LEDs just created a harsh hot spot in front of the car but were unable to spread and project beams like Mercedes steered Xenon's. Sadly realtime on-demand physically steered Xenon projectors are gone in favor of stationery switchable diode LED's. These results are going to upset a lot of people. Xenon performance is being maximized by virtuoso Mercedes engineering in a way rudimentary brands can't replicate with their "dumb passive" projectors. Imagine the Mercedes results with an all Xenon strategy.
