Today we tested the new Osram CBN (6200K) D2S bulb on a G5-BRT Bi-Xenon Projector. We tested it against the XNL (4200K) , CBI (6000K) , and CBB (7000K) ; allowing the bulb to fully stabilize performance at the ~45 second mark. With the projector hard mounted to the table, lux meter mounted to the wall, we powered each bulb with an OEM 35W ballast to see the final lux readings. The results of the test surprised us a bit too as we were hoping to see a notable boost in performance when comparing CBN to CBI, but overall it appears to perform very similarly. The good news is that it is a touch cooler, but 200K shift in color is not extremely noticeable. We don't have an integrated sphere to test the bulb's sheer performance, but perhaps the results would be different. Our test was done in real time, in one take. Please do not compare this test any other test as a comparison would not be valid. Let us know your thoughts!
Lux results:
XNL - 527 Lux
CBI - 504 Lux
CBN - 496 Lux
CBB - 447

Awesome review! I picked these to replace the OEM bulbs in my Volvo V60 and I appreciate you not price gouging like another lighting conglomerate, who I won't mention. haha. They are selling the same product for just about $100 more. Ridiculous. You just earned a new customer, thank you!
Thanks for your support!
Those cut off lines are so clean.
I still remember when the 1st Gen CBIs came out, they were the best HID bulbs to ever hit the market back then. I'm still running CBIs in my setups. I might grab me the 2nd gen CBIs. I won't *EVER* use anything but osram.
I don't know where you get people weren't satisfied with the CBI bulb, but everyone loved them and I never seen any complaints about them
What’s the most reliable place to order these? I don’t trust eBay.
Wow, I love my CBB's BUT i can see how they are not the best in output. Maybe CBN's might be a nice upgrade in performance but minimal in color comparison to the CBB's.... ugh
I love the 66240 CBIs. I had these in my 2005 Acura TL with OEM D2S projectors and now in my 2019 Civic Si w/ G5R D2S projectors!
From the looks of your test setup, the CBI and CBN are like 95% identical. I took screenshots and couldn't even tell the difference!
Were all of these bulbs brand new out of the box? Or did they have some break-in time? I guess the color could shift differently between the 2 after some regular usage.
Yes we use brand new bulbs for these tests. I have heard it many times that the Osram's will take some break in hours to reach their true color temp and intensity levels.
Hi, it’s possible a video Osram CBI NG vs Philips WhiteVision gen2?
Are you able to do a video comparing the Philips WhiteVision Gen 2 vs the CBN?
Perhaps in the future. Philips WhiteVision is a great bulb. True white color. Osram doesnt really have anything like that. With that being said its not very popular. Xtremevision seems to be the popular choice for Philips.
What is the color like cbb vs next gen cbi? Which one is whiter or is there any difference at all?
CBN will look warm white compared to CBB. instagram.com/p/CVfvN6grJeO/?
@@LightwerkzGlobal thanks mate. Sticking with CBB then. :))
Wow did not think the CBB's would be lower than the CBI's.
It's not problem to use them on jeep grand cherokee 2015 ....
Sorry meant new CBI vs Philips white vision gen 2.
I totally prefer a lighter white color than a warm white, what should you take?
CBN would be your choice for a neutral white color once it breaks in
@@LightwerkzGlobal Why is it cheaper than cbb? Is the performance weaker?
@@benmalka9761 Manufacturer sets the pricing. Hard to say. The CBB has always been a more expensive option.
@@LightwerkzGlobal thank you buddy! It's surprising that cbn 6200k is brighter even though cbb is 7000k 😅
Wrong, the NBL are rated at 4500K!
How come the CBI is brighter than the CBB, that weird!
A real head scratcher for sure!
Każdy myśli, że weźmie miernik i zmierzy. Co w tym trudnego?
Miernikiem trzeba umieć się posługiwać, wiedzieć co się mierzy i najważniejsze to trzeba sie zapoznać z instrukcja i specyfikacją miernika. Ten miernik mierzy niepoprawnie poniżej 550nm a więc im bardziej niebieskie światło tym mniejszy wynik zobaczymy na wyświetlaczu. Praktycznie można nim porównywać max barwę ~5000K.
The bulbs are great but they really arent blue at all. Just pure white. New cars have much more blue in their LEDs
out of these two, which is pure white ?
Everyone has a different opinion on what "pure white" is. CBB is a cool white and the CBN is a neutral white. Here is a comparison photo between the two - facebook.com/photo?fbid=4614296501927163&set=pcb.4614296608593819
CBB isny road legal in most countries I think. CBN is the best option if you want blueish.. yes many complain that CBI isn’t exactly cool blue
Correct, CBB is not used on Europe for example. In USA, people run them without any consequences. Osram rates them for off road use only.
@@LightwerkzGlobal but why are they offroad use only? They are not stronger than CBI's?
@@RBenz-ki6uw the color temp. For example these bulbs aren’t even sold in Europe due to strict standards
@@RBenz-ki6uw Its due to the color temp at which Osram classifies the bulbs at. CBB is not stronger than the CBI.
The CBN is yellowish, put them in today, would it be more white then yellow after some hours of burn in time ? I'm disappointed ☹️ I want the 6200k they promise
CBI has always been more of a neutral white color. No blue. If you want the cool white, you will want the CBB.
@@LightwerkzGlobal I had the D1S 66144 CBI before and replaced it with the next gen, the color was a perfect cool white with little blueish tone, the next gen supposed to be up to 6200k, from my opinion it's more like a 5000k, would it become more white after more hours of use ?
@@wiseguy0103 The bulb you removed was broken in and probably had a few years of use. When the bulb ages, it changes color. This also dims the output. The new bulbs may be warm when they are new, but they will break in to a nice white color.
@@wiseguy0103
Need time to whiten? Because after I installed it, the display is yellow, only when the car is started, it is cool blue and white
I bought a CBN. I hope its not yellow on the road.
How is it?
I got the CBN today, I'm disappointed, it's far away from 6200k, the road shines yellow 😡 would it be better after burn in ? I'm not sure 🤦🏿♂️

@@GiuliaxuAfter about 10-20 hours of run-time they will become whiter and brighter.
How they are now after 1 year?
I hate how osram did away with the CBI bulbs. They were more of a 5000k white. These 6200k ones seem like they’d be too blue
They really aren't blue. They are a neutral white color. CBB is your cool white with a blue hue.
