Let there be Light : Bike Lighting, HID etc

^ Output could be low because the HID bulb used in such angel/demon ringed setups is usually 5500K or higher. For maximum white light output, you need a 4300(or around 4100)K HID bulb.

Perhaps you missed that I have installed a projector for H7 bulb. So yes, I need a h7 bulb to be fitted into the projector. The projector presently houses a h7 HID bulb.

ya then the philips 55w H7 will fit in it ,but you will need to disconnect and remove the blaster also and again give power supply to this new halogen bulb !
but the halogen will not be as white as your HID it will be yellowish ! also i am not sure how it will perform in projector usually these halogen bulbs are used with our regular headlight which have reflectors!

Is there anyway of knowing?

Does the light feel slight bluish or purplish? 4300K is pure white with no tinge of any other color.

Yes, that was exactly my concern. I want pure white light, and not merely a blend of yellow and white. Therefore, no Philips X-treme now :-(

BTW, what is that high-beam white bulb on pulsar 220? Is that an halogen bulb or a HID?

Any one has idea whether the OSRAM Nigh Breaker H7 12V 55w is pure white? The informational video on OSRAM's webpage does claim to be white, but anyone has first hand experience to confirm the same?

agreed.. the bulb glows yellow..however the throw and illumination seems to be whiter as its good powerful..

Indeed that was the concern and therefore the clear mention of the requirement for pure white light.

So far, I have tried two supposedly 4300K or white bulbs:

1. OSRAM HS1 35/35w Cool Blue Mega, a member of the Nigh Racer Plus halogen bulbs, which claims, upto "4300 Kelvin Xenon Look". The bulb has a silver cap at its tip and a blue colored cylindrical body. The filament glows yellow but the blue envelopes cause a whitish(but not pure white) output.

2. Lumax H4 that has almost the same configuration and output quality in terms of beam length, lumens and color.

see buddy there is no halogen bulb which glows pure white!
the filament in halogen bulb glows yellowish only but the whitish effect is produced by tinting the glass of the bulb to 'blue'

so here the filament glows in yellow so this yellow light passes through the blue glass and results in producing a whitish effect (Yellow+Blue= Whitish)
which is some wat close to HID
Hope this might clear all your doubts!

Going through the same dilema , i need a Halogen Bulb , white one matching the T10 led's would be good . So far found 3 Bulbs are some what white

1) Osram Night Breaker Plus
2) Philips Extreme Vision
3) Ring Xenon Ultima 120 . ( Its a halogen bulb not HID )

Various claims by various users on various web concluded ONB is filled with some sort of gas , once is it burned out they will tend to yellow . Philips Extreme Vision is yellowish than ONB . No useful info found on Ring Xenon .
Also it is said ONB lifespan is shorter than Philips .

If anyone used any of them, can you give the review which one is brighter , superior , whiter ?

Found some clicks of ONB & PEV Philips X-Treme Vision Vs. Osram Night Breaker Plus - Page 6
Checking them one can say ONB are whiter than PEV .

But the PEV add shows they are also whiter

Can any one clear it ?

ONB in action .. cbr 250r reflector

[Above_All]

^^^ any snap of reflector with headlight on ? If pilots are white like smd led then it would be good to conclude how much difference in color of ONB & White SMD .

I found one Philips bulb claiming to be near pure white at color temperature 5000K - The Philips Diamond Vision. A few reviews I read indicate that the illumination is however poor even in normal conditions and almost nil in rains. So have to beware.

Sadly, the philips india website does not provide technical details, unlike OSRAM's
