    Is There Hope for Proper LED Retrofits in Headlamps ?

    Re: Osram got their H7 NB-LED a legal stamp in Germany (restrictions apply!) Once the product is available (next week?), buying won't be the problem. But printing out the required valid official document to carry along and present will require entering factual data. Osram might be using a...

    Is There Hope for Proper LED Retrofits in Headlamps ?

    Osram got their H7 NB-LED a legal stamp in Germany (restrictions apply!) RHT only, LB function only, 6000K, only legal in listed cars and headlights. https://www.osram.de/am/night-breaker-led/index.jsp https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08DNZMC11/ Please don't just dump your unused, worthless...

    Too-Bright Headlights & Fog-Lamp Questions

    In Europe, they all know how to decelerate before turning off their high beams... (No, I'm kidding, unfortunately.) Aiming equipment? Depends where, and who... Many dealers were recently required to get fancy modern headlamp aiming equipment that can deal with ADB to allow official...

    5.75" thin replacement H1 lamps?

    BTW, were flattish, H3-lamped optics like Marchal 889 or Bosch 160 ever available in 5 3/4" format?

    Lupine Rotlicht LED Rear Light - 160 vs 40 Lm

    In the context of this forum, TA is referring to an annex to a paragraph of StVZO; KBA is the German MoT's street vehicle regulatory office. If your search engine is down, some lurking and reading in the Automotive forum should help with the other two abbrevations. I'm sorry, is this a quote or...

    Good, compact, and square or round driving lamp?

    Wow. I never expected to provoke any such sort of undeclared fanboyism. Glad it's easy to sort out because '05 is the older account. My apologies for any inconveniences caused to Matt Conte!

    Good, compact, and square or round driving lamp?

    Matthew Conte, DD's former optical designer now marketing his own line of bicycle lights, might be able to, but probaby is not allowed to. https://forums.mtbr.com/lights-night-riding/outbound-lighting-focal-series-discussion-1055278.html#post13383075 (As a matter of style, I personally would...

    Custom Lens Designer Required (StVZO, Cree XP-L)

    And it's not just the lens, but the whole thing that will undergo testing. Moderator edit Let's keep all this on the original topic - Marcturus edit - I do wish you well with your search, original poster! Don't be too afraid of the market barriers mentioned!

    Segway ninebot ES1, 2,3,4 headlight modification

    Are these stock amps measured? Isn't that Segway unit supposed to be a "1.5W high-bright LED headlamp"? If I don't know how the concentric-beam looking optic will perform with a larger-die sized led, I'd consider staying conservative in upgrading and just use a lower-K, 80-CRI XP-E2 led.

    Xenon HID Lamp Lumen Degradation Over Time

    On Hella's German site, they provide professionals with two pdf's containing 100 pages (in awfully low resolution) of advice on "How to change a light bulb" on specific car models, but do not mention any legal issues for DIY'ers...

    New Cibié LED work lights

    Could it have something to do with the prescribed warm-up period before photometric testing? If it's 30 minutes, even the good Cree XPL LEDs will have suffered a few lm/W. Alas, 50% more intensity when air-cooled due to vehicle movement seems a lot. Maybe there is a thermal protection that...

    New Cibié LED work lights

    Re: New Cibié LED work lights? Depends if the driver welcomes the partying or not. But do feel free to illuminate us on white Cree bins commonly selected by Valeo.

    Reducing/avoiding flicker in commercial front LED AC generator hub lamps:

    Please report any outspoken epileptic's comments. B&M Eyc has a nearfield-heavy, narrow beam, and I am too lazy to switch lights at city illumination borders. And it's so tiny I have always felt it could be provoking more SMDSY claims. For generous city flicker and iffy water resistance, I'd...
