The brightness increase of +425% in lumens indicated compared to a halogen is a parameter calculated with REAL data with an ULBRICHT sphere.

Switching from old H4 halogen bulbs to Hypercanbus LEDs is one of the most common modifications for those looking to update their car or motorcycle. It's not just a matter of looks, but there are very specific technical and safety reasons.

Here are the main reasons why it's worth making the switch:

1. Visibility and Safety

• The most obvious difference is brightness. While a halogen lamp emits a yellowish light (about 3000K), LEDs produce a cool white light (about 6000K) that simulates sunlight.
• High Contrast: White light reflects road signs and animal eyes better.
• Depth: A good LED kit projects the light beam further, allowing you to react to obstacles sooner.

2. Energy Efficiency and Durability

• Halogen lamps work by heating a tungsten filament until it glows; this process wastes about 90% of the energy as heat.
• Reduced consumption: LEDs draw much less current, placing less strain on the alternator and battery.
• Longevity: A halogen bulb lasts an average of 500-1,000 hours. A quality LED bulb can exceed 30,000 hours, lasting virtually as long as the car itself.

3. Instant On

• Unlike xenon bulbs (which take a few seconds to warm up) or halogens, LEDs reach full power instantly. This is crucial when switching from low beam to high beam to signal a hazard.
