As LED headlight technology continues to advance in 2026, the gap between LED and halogen performance has never been wider. Here's a comprehensive comparison to help your customers make informed decisions.
Brightness Comparison
| Type | Lumens | Road Visibility |
|---|---|---|
| Halogen H7 | 1,500 lm | ~100m |
| Standard LED | 6,000 lm | ~250m |
| N9 MAX LED | 25,000 lm | ~400m |
| Ultra Power LED | 40,000 lm | ~500m+ |
Lifespan
- Halogen: 500-1,000 hours average
- Standard LED: 30,000-50,000 hours
- Premium LED: 80,000+ hours
At 2 hours of daily use, a halogen bulb lasts ~1 year, while our premium LEDs last over 100 years theoretically.
Energy Efficiency
LED bulbs produce the same or greater light output while consuming 50-75% less electrical power:
- Halogen H7: 55W → 1,500 lumens (27 lm/W)
- LED H7: 25W → 6,000 lumens (240 lm/W)
This efficiency reduces load on your vehicle's electrical system and can improve fuel economy slightly.
Installation Considerations
- Halogen: Simple bulb replacement
- LED: May require CANBUS adapters for some vehicles
- Both: Proper beam pattern alignment is essential
Cost Analysis
While LED bulbs have higher upfront costs, the total cost of ownership over 5 years is significantly lower due to longevity and reduced replacement frequency.
