LED lights have become the best choice to replace halogen lamps due to their energy-saving, low consumption, and high brightness characteristics. However, for many people who are not familiar with more details about LED lights, let's take a look.
Misconception 1: Is it better to have a higher lumen of the car lights?
Lumen is a unit of brightness that should be within a reasonable range. Both too dark and too bright can affect the driver's visibility. There is a significant difference in the lumen value of LED lights on the market, as some merchants falsely label the lumen or promote the "theoretical value of the light", making car owners mistakenly believe that this is the actual value.
Of course, the brighter the headlights, the better. Compared to previous halogen and hernia lamps, LED headlights have many advantages, such as long lifespan, energy conservation and environmental protection, small size, and fast start-up speed.
The higher the LED current, the higher the luminous lumen, but the increased lumen luminous flux is not a multiple relationship, but an exponential relationship. That is to say, when the current doubles, the luminous flux does not double, but increases slightly. When the current reaches a certain value, the LED will be damaged, and all LEDs have an optimal current value. The higher the current, the hotter the LED and the faster it dies, so the higher the better.
Misconception 2: Which is better between car LED lights and xenon lights?
From the development of car headlights, it can be seen that they first went from the most common halogen headlights, to xenon headlights, and then to LED headlights. Conversely, as the brightness increases, the visibility while driving at night also improves. From a usage perspective, the cost, lifespan, and power savings of LED and xenon lamps are far greater than those of the most common halogen lamps. This is also why cars are usually equipped with xenon or even LED lights. However, halogen lamps also have advantages. They have stronger penetration in foggy or foggy weather, and xenon lamps above 6000K will turn white again.
That is why it is required that both turn signals and fog lights be yellow. In other words, if we see the high brightness xenon or LED headlights on the opposite side, we will also have a headache and nausea. As for following a car, I am most afraid of following "four laps". As we all know, brake lights usually flash when they are on This is a lighting factory.
Misconception 3: Which is better for fan cooling or ribbon cooling?
Both contribute to heat dissipation, but the heat dissipation structure of LED lights depends on the overall design rather than individual components. And it also needs to be considered in conjunction with actual installation. Different components cannot be analogized solely based on heat dissipation, but should be comprehensively considered in terms of overall heat dissipation, installation volume, and assembly space.
