Hi everyone! Today we'll test 4 products from the Osram Xenarc range: The Classic, the Original, the Cool Blue intense and the Night Breaker Laser. We'll explore how Xenon lamps work and fail, and we'll compare how bright these products are. Do you get more for paying extra on a top of the line product? Let's find out!

About the tests:
Light output - This parameter was measured using a specific instrument called the Lux meter. As the name implies, this measures the LUX value of a specific light source. In other words, the amount of light that is hitting a surface. Compared with Lumen, which describes the total light output of a light source in all directions, Lux is more relevant in this case because it measures the light projected by the headlight. For example, a poorly designed headlight bulb with a high lumen rating will not focus the light properly. therefore it will have a bad Lux reading. We are interested in road illumination, not specific bulb brightness. The test was performed using a projector type headlight. The headlight unit were positioned at 3m from the projection surface, where the measurement was made. Every bulb was powered using the power supply set at 14 volts.
Drop test - in this test, the products were dropped 4 times/minute until each product failed. Every bulb was powered using the power supply set at 14 volts.

Thank you for your tests. I have put Osram CBIs in my Lexus and have been very satisfied ever since. High beams are hardly ever needed, even on a completely dark road, combined with the AFS, the light output is absolutely excellent.

I did the Sylvania H13 LED and I absolutely love them! True plug and play and I didn’t even have to re-aim. I can see at least twice as far than the stock halogens. They already paid for themselves by letting me see a line of deer soon enough to safely brake.

Another thing that plays a big factor besides old bulbs or poor condition lenses is the lights projector. Very common on E39 BMW 5 series xenon lights for the chrome plating on the projector to go dull and even be burned after many years of use. Tearing down the light and replacing the projector with a high quality one like Morimoto along with new high quality bulbs such as Osrams or Phillips and new lenses gives insanely amazing results.

@paulyoung7906 2 жыл бұрын

Great, informative video as ever. An observation - I don't recall it being mentioned that the light output and colour temp of all these bulbs will change after a 'burn in' period. This can be anywhere from 200 to 500 hours and the light output typically improves after this time. Could you perform another test to demonstrate this? And compare new, out the box performance with performance from the same bulb, after it's 'burn in' period? Keep up the great work.

Thanks very much for your time, an objective test like this surely took a long time. I was going to buy the most expensive Osram bulb, but will now search for the classic D1S instead. My present Xenon bulbs in my 2008 are the original and now some 16 years old! I'm sure the new bulbs will make a significant difference.

Excellent work my friend as always.. I have been importing HID’s for almost 12 years, and my supplier manufactures both Phillips and Osram. And also a cheaper brand, I have tried LED’s but I believe the manufacturer always over run them by voltage so the delaminates from the cooling surface and in my experience Xenon. Last longer than Led and also makes a better light output beam than LED, and the longevity between LED and HID the xenon is far more superior and better value for money on the long run, I have had ballasts and bulb failure with HID and one should make sure not to buy a DC ballast but rather an AC as it’s more gentle on on the bulbs, Just for fact sake I am still using my original set of HID’s in my Fiat and it is going 13 years now and for a long time it was my preferred vehicle for night driving, maybe I should look into replacing bulbs 😀 with new stock. I should

More colour, I think refers to its CIR. Colour rendering index. 98 is high and means that colours will be represented quite accurately, without cast or dullness.

Do you have any more data to share from this test by any chance? I tried plotting it and while the Classic bulb does have only a 3% difference of brightness in the hotspot compared to the Night breaker, it immediately falls behind the CBI and Original bulb after the second measurement from the hotspot, culminating in in essentially 30% drop in brigthness towards the edge compared to the Light Breaker. While it is still pretty close, the CBI seems to be doing slightly better overall. It seems the light pattern does fall off consistently between all tests, they all have a slighty bigger drop in brightness between measuring points 3 and 4, but more data to feed my graphs is always welcome.

Excelente video. Una verdadera comparación, con hechos y datos. Derriba mucha mentira que circula en youtube. En mi experiencia, debo decir que ayer precisamente, instalé los Osram night brake laser (NBL). El resultado frente a los que tenía originales, fueron los mejores. Tuve que conducir bajo condiciones extremas, neblina densa (no se veía a mas de 5 mt), lluvia intensa, carretera muy oscura. Y los bombillos Osram NBL se comportaron muy bien. Pude conducir sin problema. Solo me falta averiguar su durabilidad. Que hay mejores tecnologías, claro que las hay. Pero para mi presupuesto y las características de mi vehículo, es lo mejor que pude tener

Thanks for this test! I need to buy new xenon bulbs and was wandering what's the difference between Osram Classic and Original. The first one seems to be an interesting product but it's weird that it's not listed on the Osram's website, I've found no official characteristic card of this... Osram behaves as if they didn't have anything to do with this product. Can we trust this is a reliable bulb? It was great in the first test, but how does the light changes over time? It is quite complicated to replace the bulbs in my car, the easiest way is to dismantle the bumper and then to do the same with the headlights... So you know, I need reliable product and the official support for Osram Original may seem convincing.

Hi, I made a halogen test for my hungarian buyers in November-December. It was hard to find the brightest spot from approx 4 meters. If I moved the device +-1mm the result changed with 10%. I cant imagine how hard is to do it for xenons from 3 meters as they had to focus the max light in a much more smaller area to make twice as long light as a halogen. Are you sure that you found the brightest spot for all? The laser performance was a shame, 3% is a joke even if the light distribution was a bit better then a classic. I'm also waiting for the new xenon intense to make a xenon test before this season with approx 18kind of D2S bulb (our full range).

@McBright 2 жыл бұрын

@Sergiu Gabor Couple of things to mention. 1 . You are using only one bulb, and 10 bulbs of the same brand and model behave differently. This stands for different batches as well. 2. You need to test in high beam, because the base of the bulb can be off by a milimeter or less, but that moves the hotspot and one bulb can produce less light but due to focal point hot spot can be when in low beam. Another bulb that produce more light can have its hotspot shifted to the area which is reserved for high beam, but the lux meter will read less light in low beam compared to the dimmer bulb. 3. Different light meters ARE sensitive differently to different kelvin reading. Given LUX meter can be sensitive ot 4500k and not so much to 5500k. 4. Different bulbs behave differently based on the lens used. There are some coated lens that give advantage to bulbs with 4300k. Like the Hella F1. 5. What you are measuring is the light output measured by lux meter. What you actually care is vissible light, as light spectrum is wider than what human eyes can see. Its about the light produced in visible spectrum. 6. You are missing the Cool blue boost.

@rmat9023 8 ай бұрын

how can they vary between batches so badly, no quality control? Also, He said cool blue boost wasnt road legal and was too blue, (and probably dimmer) so he said he wouldnt test it.

Hello Sergiu! Greetings from Portugal! But I have a question regarding motorcycles: For halogen lamps, what is your recommendation? What is the whitest to look like LEDs? Or should we use LEDs and which ones? Kind regards
