LED Headlights vs. Halogen Lamps: A Comprehensive Comparison of Brightness and Lifespan

In the automotive lighting market, LED headlights and halogen lamps are the two most common choices. Many car owners struggle with which bulb to choose when upgrading their headlights. CONPEX compares these lamps based on two key factors: brightness and lifespan, to help you make a more informed choice.

1. Brightness Comparison

Halogen Lamp Brightness：

Halogen lamps typically have a brightness of around 700–1500 lumens.

Some high-power models can reach around 2000–3000 lumens. This high power consumption comes with high power consumption.

The light they emit is yellowish (approximately 3200K color temperature). While penetrating in rainy and foggy conditions, the overall illumination is dim.

When driving at night, halogen lamps can easily cause problems with not being bright enough to see far ahead.

LED Headlight Brightness

LED headlights can reach brightness levels of 4000–10,000 lumens or more, far exceeding traditional halogen lamps.

The light color is close to natural white light (approximately 5500K–6500K color temperature), providing a wider and clearer illumination range.

LED light is closer to daylight, effectively improving safety and comfort during nighttime driving.

Conclusion: LED headlights offer higher brightness, significantly improving nighttime visibility and safety.

2. Lifespan Comparison

Halogen Lamp Lifespan

Ordinary halogen bulbs typically have a lifespan of 400–1000 hours.

The filament is easily burned out by high temperatures, requiring frequent replacement.

High maintenance costs are high with frequent use (such as frequent nighttime driving).

LED Headlight Lifespan

LED headlights have a lifespan of up to 30,000–50,000 hours, dozens of times longer than halogen lamps.

With no filament, they are less susceptible to vibration and temperature.

They offer long-term stability and reliability, requiring minimal replacement.

 Conclusion: LED headlights not only last longer, but also save maintenance and replacement costs.
