The lumens scale indicates the brightness of a bulb and should be used when selecting your new led.
Brightest hid bulb temperature.
Most people shopping for hids believe that a higher bulb temperature will yield a brighter light but this is in fact not true.
If an hid bulb is 50 efficient and you drive it at 30 watts that means that only 15 watts will be converted to light and 15 watts will be lost as heat.
Brightness lumens and temperature kelvins in leds.
This wasn t a surprise.
There is a lot of heat that is also generated in the process.
What is the brightest hid color temperature.
The best hid color temperature is 4800k as this temperature has the highest lumen output and is the closest to daylight.
One thing we didn t expect to see was the large drop in brightness from the 55w 8 000k bulbs.
We typically think of the brightness of a lightbulb in wattage.
We expected the most light output to come from somewhere between the 4 300k and 6 000k range.
4300k and 6000k will be just as bright but will have a very light tint of yellow 4300k or blue 6000k.
However both yellow white 4300k and alpine white 6000k are very close in the light output and the difference is often negligible.

The brightest hid color temperature is 5000k emitting perfectly white light.
High intensity discharge hid headlights also known as xenon lights grew in popularity during the late 90s thanks to their unique style and color as well as their increased brightness.
Xenon hid bulbs get their name from the xenon gas inside the bulbs.
The range of color temperature.
Led bulbs last longer than xenon hid bulbs and use less power.
Hid bulbs are not perfectly efficient at converting electrical energy into light.
Soft white 2700k 3000k bright white cool white 3500k 4100k and daylight 5000k 6500k.
Their compact design efficient performance and economical price make them one of the top picks on our list.
However wattage simply represents the amount of energy needed to use the bulb.

The higher the degrees kelvin the whiter the color temperature.
You can see that when paired with any of the three ballasts the 5 000k kit is the brightest.
Unlike halogen bulbs which contain a filament that is heated and produces light xenon hid bulbs use xenon gas and electrical charge to create a bright white light.
The three primary types of color temperature for light bulbs are.
Bright white hid bulbs 5000k produce the brightest light output.
