Attention to Smart Buyers:
High Wattage does NOT mean Brighter
Recently, a lot of
manufacturers from China claim their angel eye bulbs to be 20W, 40W,
or even 64W, and
they use CREE LED chips as well.
So their light bulbs are
the brightest in the market. Is it true?
In
order to test how bright they are, we bought a couple sets to test.
Here are the testing results of MTEC V1 & V2 VS. China Made 20W
Bulbs:
(Note: V3 is tested to be around 1800 Lumens)
MTEC V2 H8 =
1122 Lumens
|
MTEC V2 18W H8
(9W / Bulb * 2 Bulbs)
|
MTEC V1
H8 = 909.2 Lumens
|
MTEC V1 12W H8
(6W / Bulb * 2 Bulbs)
|
China 20W H8
= 718.1 Lumens
|
China 20W H8
(10W / Bulb * 2 Bulbs)
|
China 20W H8
= 816 Lumens
|
China 20W H8
(10W / Bulb * 2 Bulbs)
|
China 10W H8
= 553 Lumens
|
China 12W H8
(6W / Bulb * 2 Bulbs)
|
Based on the testing result, clearly none of
those bulbs emit brighter light than MTEC does.
Why? Don't they use the same CREE Chips? Are
they not 20W LED Bulbs?
The answers are NO!
On the bulbs we tested, one of the them use
FAKE CREE chips.
One uses the real CREE chips, but they are not
the latest version of chips from CREE.
So the chips do not emit as bright light as the
chips on the MTEC do.
Besides, none of them are really 20W as they
claimed.
So don't be fooled with the "Higher Wattage =
Brighter Light"
They are NOT true!
Be sure to buy bulbs with brand names.
All the Chinese made bulbs we bought do not
have brand name on the packages.
They just came in with plain box.
Who will you talk to when you have warranty
issue?
MTEC has been making the angel eye bulbs for
many years.
They are not ashamed to put their logo on the
products they make.
Don't put cheap stuffs on your BMWs just
because to save a few bucks.
Your BMW deserves better!
