In my configuration (Touring, in new trim levels - Active), the dipped headlights are halogen. The stock bulbs are Osram Original Line H11.
After buying a car, I immediately replaced the standard bulbs with Osram bulbs that had proven themselves well on the previous car. Night breaker Plus (I wrote more about them), which have 90% more light (light cone 35 m longer), 10% whiter light and 50% longer life. I will not say so if these percentages are actually true, but purely by sensations - the light is really a little whiter, a little brighter and the luminous flux is farther. I have not had any complaints about these lamps since the last car. These bulbs worked in Mazda CX-5 for 13 months.
The manufacturer's guaranteed service life for the Night Breaker Plus ranged from 150 to 250 hours. I turn on the dipped beam only by the light sensor, i.e. automatically. We consider: the car light sensor during my standard trips (home / work, i.e. morning / evening) turns on the dipped beam on average 7 months a year (approximately, from October to April inclusive), i.e. 210 days. On average, in the morning I go to work for 30 minutes, in the evening - 60 minutes. light bulbs in these dark hours(i.e. for 210 days) they work an hour and a half a day - in total, about 315 hours are released. In total, we can conclude that the Night Breaker Plus that have worked for 13 months has simply already worked out (and even worked out) its resource. Test.
I wanted to put these bulbs back in, but Osram replaced the Night Breaker Plus series with the new Night Breaker Unlimited series, which, judging by the advertising, already have 110% more light (the light cone is now even longer - 40 m), and the light is already 20% more white.
Night Breaker Unlimited (I wrote about them in more detail) has a light temperature of 3600K, a luminous flux of 1350 lm. I bought and delivered Night Breaker Unlimited last fall, and on December 13th this year, the first Night Breaker Plus light went out. As a result, it turns out that these bulbs worked for me for 14 months. Test.
Conclusion on two sets lamps Osram Night Breaker for 2 years of their operation on the same car: when buying halogen bulbs with increased recoil parameters, count on an average of a year of their operation (provided that the electrics in the car are in good working order and average driving conditions). This is provided that there is a DRL in the car and the neighbor turns on only in the dark. If you turn on the near one with any movement of the car at any time of the day, then such bulbs (under similar driving conditions) will be enough for you for half a year.
As soon as the first light went out, I immediately replaced the old standard one and ordered new light bulbs. I wanted to order Night Breaker Unlimited again, but did not find it in stock, so after looking for analogs, I decided to buy Koito Whitebeam Ver. III. The most interesting thing, while waiting for new light bulbs - two days later the second of the surviving Night Breaker Unlimited went out! Straight, as if their "aging" is programmed and they die in pairs almost in one day.
Cost Japanese Koito Whitebeam Ver. III about 25% more expensive than German Osram night Breaker Unlimited. I don’t think that these purely Japanese bulbs are better or worse than Night Breaker Unlimited in terms of their characteristics, the only thing is that I don’t have my own experience on the lifespan of these bulbs. Well, I'll try and see.
Details about Koito Whitebeam Ver. III H11
For about 5 years now, car enthusiasts have been using more and more headlights, where different lamps are used in the H11 base. And it is not surprising, because from quality lighting the road depends on the safety of the drivers. This article provides answers to the questions: "What is an H11 LED lamp and what are their advantages?"
So, first, here are the main advantages of any LED car lamp:
temperature luminous flux;
durability and reliability;
the absence of filaments in the lamp design;
ease of installation of LED lamps;
versatility of LED lamps.
H11 LED lamps are quite widespread among car owners. The base / plinth materials are metal and plastic. The plug is with two contacts. The brightness of the illumination depends on the direction of the light, the types of built-in LEDs. Today you can choose a different shade of white, which will depend on the temperature of the glow.
H11 LED bulbs are installed:
headlights of low beam or high beam;
fog lights Oh.
The assortment includes various options... The website of the TRIALIGHT company will help you choose any lighting equipment. So, some are suitable for decorative glow (white light from LEDs is ideally combined with xenon), others can be used as Daytime Running Lights.
Features of h11 led bulbs
The features of these lamps are low power consumption and heat dissipation. There are times when incandescent lamps melt a headlight or wiring in a car. The H11 LED bulb does not have this disadvantage. This allows you to mount even in plastic headlights.
The H11 lamp, the photo of which is shown below, is used as a source of the main light and as fog lamps. Today they are the most popular and widely used of all models and types of similar lamps.
The H11 lamp, the photo of which is above, has one thread in its design. Group H11 lamps - flanged lamps. They are classified as this type because they have a clear distance from the flange to the helix. This is essential to ensure that the lighting is correct. Today, many manufacturing companies manufacture a huge amount of different types devices with such a base
Of course, they all differ from each other in technology. production process, properties and parameters. The average wattage of a standard H11 bulb is about 55 volts. But some manufacturers also produce lamps with higher wattage. The H11 lamp socket is similar to H8 and H9 sockets. The difference between these lamps lies in the power level, as well as in the types of petals. In foglights, you can easily put xenon lamps H11 with temperature indicator 4300K, 5000K, 6000K.
The choice of H11 low beam lamps certainly depends on the brand of the car, the taste of the owner of the car and the financial capabilities. The first place among sales is taken by the LED H11 lamp, the price of which starts at 1000 rubles. Pricing policy in principle depends on two factors:
manufacturer;
technical indicators.
Modern LED technology has increased the distance and brightness of road lighting. So today there are systems led lighting for cars that are equipped with adaptive functions. These are mainly H11 lamps with a power of 80 volts. They have special stabilizers in their design. They protect against power surges. In addition, the lamp has a reverse polarity protection mechanism. H11 lamp LED 80W consists of 16 LEDs with chips each with a power of 5W, can be used as DRL (daytime running lights) for better information on the road! Light body diode lamp H11 80W is made of aluminum and plastic with good heat dissipation. Undeniable dignity diode lamp H11 - no need for additional blocks or resistors.
LED lamps in cars are a new word in automotive lighting technology. They are often used instead of halogen and xenon light sources. H11 LED bulbs are designed for installation in fog lights and headlights. By their design, they are as close as possible to standard light bulbs.
Poll results
After conducting a consumer survey, it turned out that there are three main reasons for the wide demand for lamps with H11 LEDs.
The first is a high resource of work - a service life of more than 50 thousand hours.
The second is closeness to the design and appearance of an ordinary light bulb, which means easy installation.
The third is the brightness of the luminous flux emitted by the H11 LED lamp.
Especially high quality lights are demonstrated by white H11 lamps. White light is most natural for the human eye, which makes it possible to see in it an order of magnitude better. First of all, this applies to road markings, signs and reflective elements in vehicles and clothing. In white light, they are visible much farther and more clearly! The disadvantage is poor visibility. white light in the rain.
That is why the white H11 bulbs, which are considered the main ones, are always complemented by halogen fog bulbs. One cannot do without "fog lights" with current speeds, especially in the off-season! They are also manufactured with a H11 base and, as you understand, are sold in Moscow, in the AvtoLampy.Ru store.
Auto lamp H11 - a guarantee of long work of headlights
By the way, a high-quality H11 55W lamp is not only stable operation on all brands and models of cars, but also a decrease in wear and tear of the on-board electrical equipment serving it. "Unnamed" halogen lamps with an H11 base can also be of high quality, but no one will give you a firm guarantee of this. This means that you will have to play Russian roulette at your own peril and risk, putting your safety on the line.
The same can be said for both high beam and low beam H11 lamps. Some drivers naively believe that good bulbs should be installed exclusively on high beam, but for a neighbor, almost anything will do. WITH halogen lamps this number will not work - in order to feel really confident on the night road, you need to treat the head light extremely responsibly.
From the above, it follows that if you plan to use car lamps H11, you'd better give preference to well-known brands such as Philips or Osram. Practice shows that they give the minimum possible number of failures, most of which are caused by errors in the installation of lamps or incorrect operation of electrical equipment.
What should be a high-quality H11 - incandescent lamp
Really high-quality H11 lamps, which you can always buy in the AvtoLampy.ru store, are, first of all, modern materials- durable quartz glass, from which the flask is made, the perfect gas mixture that is pumped into it, and a durable base, assembled on an automated line. It is enough to take such a lamp in your hands to understand that you have a quality product in front of you.
The boxes in which the high-quality H11 auto halogen bulbs are packed also serve as a guide for the buyer. Branded H11 halogen bulbs come in bright, clearly printed packaging and are therefore visible from afar in any store. This is true not only for headlight lamps, but also for each fog lamp H11 - good lamp starts with a good label for the buyer.
However, in recent times attractive design even got "unnamed" H11 lamps. 12V 55W car bulbs today are very hot commodity, therefore, manufacturers do not lose any opportunity to sell more of their products. The buyer has two ways left - to spend a few hours choosing auto lamps or just buy them in a trusted store.
