Bulbs for cars from Aliexpress - light-emitting diode (LED), halogen and xenon.

Being an improved modification of the H4 form factor, the H7 lamp has essentially the same parameters as its predecessor. It is used in headlights with split optics and is installed mainly in the low beam unit. Based on this, manufacturers try to limit the power, but there are models with a higher threshold, although experts do not recommend using them, as they can cause an error in the computer and create an excessive load on the power source.

The connecting part, base and distance from the top to the coupling are standard, that is, the lamp can be used on almost any car with the appropriate optics configuration. As for LEDs, they have a number of advantages compared to incandescent lamps:

• durability;
• reliability;
• weather resistance;
• instant access to operating power;
• possibility of choosing any temperature of the light flux.

Among the disadvantages, we highlight the need to use an additional chip that “deceives” the car’s system, but in all models it is already installed in the lamp, so there will be no problems with installation. Also, compared to the 4th generation, H7 lamps have an increased service life. Even the heating elements last twice as long, not to mention the LEDs.

Top 10. NARVA H7 Range Perfomace LED

• Characteristics

  Price per pair: 2,500 rub.

• Country: Germany (manufactured in China)
• Power (W): 16
• Voltage (V): 12/24
• Color temperature (K): 6500

• Service life: 40,000 hours

Many manufacturers love to boast of their German origin. This is explained by the persistent stereotype in the minds of buyers that if a product is produced in Germany, then it will definitely be of high quality and reliable. The brand simply shouts about it, placing a lot of relevant inscriptions on the packaging. If you dig deeper, it turns out that the product is completely Chinese. This does not detract from its advantages, but the fact remains. As for the characteristics, they are mediocre. This H7 lamp does not show anything outstanding. Yes, it can provide both low and high beam, but this is no longer new or original.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Sophisticated copy protection system

• Mediocre characteristics
• Not the highest working resource

How to choose the right low beam lamps?

Headlight bulbs need to be changed in pairs. A new one can be selected either of the same type or with better characteristics. The optimal voltage of standard halogen lamps is up to 13.2 V.

On a note!

If it is 5% lower, the service life will increase by 60%.

If the car has halogen headlight bulbs, then H7 LED bulbs will not be suitable, since the mounting design does not provide for a specific arrangement of filaments.

Due to its characteristics, H7 lamps are popularized, and the amount of light they produce is much better. As a standard, H7 is 3 cm long, and the power does not exceed 55 W. Type H7 can guarantee safe driving on the road, even in the dark, as it provides excellent illumination. An important power characteristic is brightness. The H7 beam power should have a limit of 1500 lm. This means that they shine 2 times more intensely than other models.

Light bulbs differ not only in price, but also in color. For example, white and yellow modifications will emit a more natural light. It is better and safer for other drivers.

On a note!

Different colors may distract other drivers. You cannot install H4 and H7 together, this will cause uneven lighting and interfere with driving. It is recommended to take H7 lamps, which come in pairs in the kit.

Durability depends on the quality of materials and resistance to increased heat. With prolonged illumination, the temperature can rise to +70°C. Requires a cooling system. At car factories, special fan devices are installed in such models, which ensure cooling of the equipment during operation. This has a positive effect on service life.

The H7 mount (called the plinth) is important. Installation is carried out to the car headlight. If you install the base incorrectly, the light bulb will not light. The base of the plinths is, for the most part, made using aluminum components. Such alloys will not melt at very high temperatures and prolonged use.

You should not buy light bulbs with increased power (above the rated power). It's absolutely useless. It will not shine brighter, because the car’s electrical equipment is designed for certain parameters and this does not depend on the number of watts. If the permissible power value is exceeded, problems may arise with the vehicle's wiring, or cooling devices may not cope.

On a note!

Moreover, if the glass size is made with the addition of plastic, then the headlight may simply melt.

The service life of halogen lamps is about 600 hours. The temperature of LED lamps is lower and, in cold weather, the glass may freeze or fog up a little, which can affect the safety of the trip. In cloudy weather or during rain or fog, you need light bulbs with a glow of at least 3000K. As an option, you can simply buy fog lights and have them have a bright white light, rather than the usual yellow one.

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, lamp packages must bear a conformity mark. Car lamps are subject to several requirements regarding the safety of driving a vehicle. If they are dim or do not shine enough, they will definitely require replacement with a new one.

The Masuma brand cannot be called the most popular. In our country, it is generally unknown to many, although it was Masuma that was the first to develop a security chip designed to deceive the system and was one of the first to launch the production of full-fledged LED car lamps. However, it cannot be said that the product is expensive. Compared to many brands, the lamp is even cheap, although in terms of quality it is not only not inferior to them, but also wins in some ways. In general, if the company were more popular in our region, the product would rank much higher in the rating, but so far there are very few reviews about it, and experts are in no hurry to conduct tests.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Balanced characteristics
• A brand that has introduced many innovative technologies

• Low popularity in Russia and CIS countries
• Difficult to find reviews and independent tests

The Russian company Lumen has been on the market for a long time and competes well with famous global brands. Recently, it began producing LED lamps, including the H7 format, and it turned out pretty well, especially considering that this is the company’s first experience and it has room to grow. The device operates at 25 watts of power and produces a luminous flux of 3.5 thousand lumens. The lamp can provide low and high beam, and also work as a fog lamp. The high level of protection with index 66 and the plastic case with rubber inserts deserve special attention. They dampen vibration generated by the car and extend the life of the crystal. The total working resource is 60 thousand hours.

• Power (W): 17
• Voltage (V): 12
• Color temperature (K): 4500
• Luminous Flux (Lum): 2400
• Service life: 30,000 hours

The LED lamp is a very sensitive product. It can fail due to the banal vibration that the car inevitably creates. Therefore, the best option is the one that has maximum protection, and now it is before us. The manufacturer took into account all the features of the device and placed the crystal in a special case. It is made of plastic, but protection is provided not only by the frames, but also by polyurethane gaskets that press the element and act as a bumper. The skirt of the lamp also deserves attention. The H7 format requires strict adherence to design standards. Here they did not deviate from them, but made the base rubberized, which also conceals vibrations and dampens them.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Polyurethane inserts around the crystal
• Rubberized skirt

• Low working resource
• Weak luminous flux

Unique Design LED crystals are placed in a protected aluminum tube with a vacuum for rapid temperature removal.

• Characteristics

  Price per pair: 2,950 rub.

• Country: USA (manufactured in Malaysia)
• Power (W): 50
• Voltage (V): 9-32
• Color temperature (K): 5500
• Luminous Flux (Lum): 6000
• Service life: 70,000 hours

The LED system is relatively new, and manufacturers continue to experiment to find better uses for the chip. For example, in this case it was decided to place the device in an aluminum tube, from which the air was pumped out. This increased protection, both from dust and other contaminants, and from shocks. This also significantly reduced the heating time of the crystal. It is known that this is an important problem with such models, since it is necessary to use a special chip that supplies a powerful short-term impulse. Here its task is reduced, and an additional advantage of the vacuum is instant heat removal. This significantly extends the life of the crystal.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Increased resource
• Unique design
• Maximum security

• Not suitable for all cars

Here we have the most popular car lamp, which has received the largest number of reviews on trading and specialized platforms. At the same time, its cost is prohibitively high, even for a universal model capable of producing both low and high beams. Of course, the quality of the product is at a very high level, which is confirmed not only by reviews from ordinary buyers, but also by tests of independent experts, but even this cannot offset the price of 9 thousand rubles. Of course, we give part of this money exclusively for the brand. Philips is a world-class company that produces a wide variety of equipment. You can trust the reliability of its products 100%, but you also have to pay more for them.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Increased working life
• Lots of tests done
• Reliable build

Comment

The lamp has an outer diameter of 25.3 mm, and the hole in the headlight may not always be larger than this value, therefore, difficulties may arise during installation. Otherwise, the lamp is miniature and should fit into any headlight unit without any problems, the main thing is to make sure in advance that the hole for installing the lamp is larger than 25.3 mm.

As for installing a lamp with an H4 socket, here again additional adjustment of the light beam on the main beam may not be necessary. So the screws included in the kit will most likely not be useful.

The following photographs show the overall dimensions of the lamps. The length of the lamp is 107.2mm, the diameter of the lens holder is 25.3mm, the diameter of the radiator is 37.8mm.

The weight of the lamp with the H7 adapter is 82.8 grams.

Protected form factor The lamp is equipped with additional protection of the diode crystal from accidental impacts and shaking. The degree of environmental protection for the model is IP66, that is, the highest.

• Characteristics

  Price per pair: 2,450 rub.

• Country: China
• Power (W): 13
• Voltage (V): 12-24
• Color temperature (K): 5000
• Luminous Flux (Lum): 1150
• Service life: 50,000 hours

H7 LED bulb is used in split headlights. Lensed optics should be divided into high and low beam. And if there is a leak somewhere, water will inevitably get onto the electronics. Also, diodes are extremely sensitive to shaking, which means that the main argument when choosing is security. This is the main advantage of this product. The crystal is placed in a dense plastic case, which preserves the element when shaking. And the IP66 index tells us that the product is not afraid of moisture, dust, and is also resistant to temperature changes. The disadvantages include not the most powerful luminous flux, although if the lamp only produces low beam, this is enough.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Reliable protection against moisture and dust
• Anti-shake bumpers

• Small luminous flux

Best price The most inexpensive LED lamp in our rating. The price of 440 rubles per pair is almost two times lower than that of its closest competitor.

• Characteristics

  Price per pair: 440 rub.

• Country: Russia (manufactured in China)
• Power (W): 27
• Voltage (V): 12
• Color temperature (K): 4300
• Luminous Flux (Lum): 2500
• Service life: 50,000 hours

A car LED lamp in the H7 form factor is not the cheapest pleasure. Better models from well-known manufacturers can cost several thousand rubles, but in this case we are seeing the cheapest option, costing half the price of its closest competitor. At the same time, the lamp cannot be called bad, nor can it be called the best of its kind. The product is quite simple. The working life is 50 thousand hours, and the luminous flux is 2500 lumens. In principle, everything is adequate, but the low level of protection should be taken into account: if your lensed optics have leaks, you should be very careful when washing the car. But there is a one-year warranty.

H7 lamps with increased luminous flux

High-brightness H7 car lamps provide better quality of light. You can often solve the problem of dim lighting with these bulbs, without having to change the headlights or repair the reflectors.

Osram H7 Night Breaker Unlimited

Bright light is the main difference between these lamps.

The manufacturer promises an increase in brightness by 110%, but the price will be noticeably higher. The light quality of this option is really good, highlighting both the lane and the roadside. The brightness is high, color rendition is also high quality.

The service life is noticeably shorter than that of the standard. Excessive voltage or strong vibration of the engine especially affects the service life. But in general, the lamps are decent and provide safe driving in the dark.

Precise headlight alignment is important for these bulbs. If it is knocked down, the lamps will overextend the oncoming traffic.

PHILIPS H7 Vision Plus +60%

Due to proper light distribution, the light improves greatly.

They shine worse than previous lamps, but the difference is stated to be 50% less. At the same time, it should be noted that the quality is good and the ride is comfortable due to the fact that the light is distributed correctly and illuminates all the necessary areas.

In the Philips line there are models with a large increase, but the difference with the lamps in question is small. If we consider that the +60% model lasts much longer than products with higher brightness , then it becomes the most preferable.

If the light is well adjusted and the reflectors and lenses are in good condition, the lamps will be enough for a comfortable ride.

Video comparison: Philips LongLife EcoVision vs Philips VisionPlus 60%

Bosch H7 Plus 90

A good option with a good resource and high performance.

These lamps really shine 90% better than the standard Bosch model. At the same time, the brightness is comfortable and driving with the light will be convenient. Experts highlight the excellent light distribution of the bulbs; both the roadway and the side of the road are equally visible.

With good brightness, the product lifespan is an order of magnitude longer than average. During normal operation they operate only slightly less than standard .

To achieve a better effect, the headlights should be adjusted. It is advisable that the car have a corrector, since under load the luminous flux rises and blinds oncoming drivers.
