I really love how well the new 2Stroke 3.0 seem to play in projectors this time around. At least in my experience. The strange thing is in all my testing I’ve found that nearly every time putting LED bulbs in a halogen reflector almost always beats out a projector using the same exact bulb just in a projector instead. For some reason LED’s efficiency is outstanding on reflector designs. Probably since the halogen projectors just can’t utilize the extra light well but the reflectors are usually much bigger. So the surface to collect and concentrate light seems to be better for those scenarios. However I will point out you have to test it. Morimoto 2Stroke 2.0 and 3.0, SV4, Xenon Depot Xtreme LED, and the Diode Dynamics SL1 all play really well In the h7, H13, 9006, H4, and 9007 reflectors. They are have an extremely factory looking cutoff with nice bright hotspot near the cutoff line and center. The GTR lighting ultra 2 was good but in a few of them it really moved the hotspot down too much. Concentrating most of the light into the foreground. So while the GTR ultra 2 is probably the brightest if the bunch in pure power, it doesn’t always have the accuracy of optical fidelity in every light tested. They do very well in most projectors and are very bright. But I prefer the lower raw lumen output of the Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0. Just seems to be the best of everything.
I think part of the efficiency of LED in a halogen reflector is that most are optimized to mimic filament in both output and position. Meaning it is like simply adding a brighter halogen. Generally that's why HIDs in reflector or halogen projectors tend to scatter light, the alignment is slightly different. And I have noticed there is little to no glare with a quality LED in a reflector housing when compared to stock.
Yeah you was definitely blinding people! Of course a led in a reflector housing "looks" brighter because the light is going EVERYWHERE. Now bend down and stick your eyes in front of that beam of light from a projector lense and you'll see which one is really brighter 🤣🤣🤣
Nice video ! 😊
