How many lumens do they get? If it's nowhere near 1500-1600lm, then don't bother, it will be crap. Good/bright enough LED bulbs cost a small fortune.

Yes, 900lm is not enough. A standard H7 bulb is about 1500-1600lm. Anything less than that would mean worse visibility. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I checked the ebay.co.uk and I found 4000lm and even 8000lm. Even 4000lm seems a bit excessive. The legal limit for a conventional bulb (CZE, not sure about the UK) is 1500lm (+/-10%). A xenon light is betwewn 3000-3200lm (google). So the 4000lm should be very, very bright. The 8000lm seems impossible to even imagine. Also, there's this thing, that with higher the colour temperature, less lumen get out of the bulb, so at 6000K the 1400lm bulb could emit the same amout of light as a standard 4200K bulb that emits the declared 1500-1600lm.
Oh, one more thing, even 3000lm is very bright, so do not turn it on when the bulb is not seated in the headlight and do not look directly into the headlight, you may go blind if you do so.
TL; DR: If I'm not mistaken, the 6000k 1400lm LED is a direct swap for the 4200k 1500lm bulb you have there now, which means there will be no difference. Well the colour temperature of the bubl will change, obviously.
EDIT: While I was typing that and checking the ebay, Paul gave you quite the same answer first. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I didn't even know you could get that style of LED lamp in a headlight fitting, I use similar ones for my side lights but they'd be as much use as air con in the arctic for actual headlights. |
