H11 bulb diodes are better. Automotive bulbs H11: description, characteristics

Sooner or later, drivers face the need to replace automobile lamps - this is a natural order. Each car uses several types of lamps. Today, more and more automakers are installing in the optics of H11 bulbs. What are these elements, what characteristics do they have, what are they? All this worries the car owners. Let's try to answer these questions.

Scope of use

These lamps give a very bright and powerful light. They are widely used in compact headlamps as dipped-beam lamps, as well as in any optical instruments. This is the most balanced light bulb from all those that exist today, moreover, this type of socle is considered one of the most common. There are halogen bulbs H11 and LED. The peculiarity of this socle is that it provides a higher power of the lamp - the maximum is 55 W, while with socles of other types, for example - H8, no more than 35 W of power is provided. At the same time, constructively from others, they differ little. The difference is only in the types of petals used. Increased by the use of a cap of this type, the power makes it possible to obtain a large light cone - the space is illuminated to 30-40 m. Thanks to the special design of the reflectors, roadsides are better illuminated.

Halogen lamps

Halogen optical elements are one of the types of lamps inside which the entire space is filled with a special gas. It can be a pair of halogen bromine or iodine. The bulb of such a bulb is more often made of quartz glass - this glass is particularly stable, withstands high temperatures and the influence of various chemicals. Thanks to a special design, H11 halogen bulbs have high technical characteristics and are characterized by a powerful light flux. Among the advantages of halogen bulbs is a high degree of light output. These lamps illuminate the road well, and the spectrum of light bulbs is yellow, which is more favorably perceived by human eyesight. The second major advantage is compact size. Such elements can be used in small devices, such as Often the base H11 can be found in fog optics. Also, many estimate the high availability of these lighting elements - in the modern market you can find a huge number of different lamp models from different manufacturers. An important advantage is the price. Halogen optics will cost significantly less than xenon or LED solutions.

Overview and testing of H11 lamps

Specialists conducted independent testing of the most popular products. Tested lamps for the car in different conditions. The rating includes only the best and most effective representatives. Thus, during the test, the level of illumination at various distances was measured, and the illumination of the roadsides was also recorded. The luminous flux was monitored at a height of 1 m from the surface of the pavement.

Osram Night Breacker Unlimited

This is one of the brightest representatives in the market of optical instruments. These bulbs in the headlights consist of a radiator, a current and voltage stabilizer, lenses and high-brightness LEDs. To experience the maximum product performance, it is necessary to apply for 12 V. This light is capable of delivering 55 watts of power, with the emission temperature is 4000 K to divert excess heat radiator used aluminum alloy. The light that this lamp radiates can be either cold or warm (white). The composition of the halogen is optimized to exclude any decrease in the transparency of the bulb. The lamp is equipped with a filter from ultraviolet - this will completely eliminate the turbidity of the plastic.

If we compare these lamps for the car with ordinary (incandescent), the product from Osram is very effective - buyers get 2 times more light than any other lamps. As a result of testing, the length of the light cone is 35 m. The illuminated area is directly in front of the car, and the spot of light is very bright and wide. Judging by the responses of car owners, in the rain the lamp does not give highlights and well illuminates road pits and bumps. Due to the quality heat dissipation, the plastic parts do not melt.

Koito Whitebeam H11

These are halogen bulbs in headlights from a Japanese company. Their technical characteristics are also very high - these devices can be safely attributed to the market leaders. Elements are designed for 12 V supply voltage and are capable of delivering 55 watts of power, equivalent to 100 watts of a conventional incandescent lamp. The manufacturer claims that the luminescence temperature is 4000 K, and the light itself has a xenon effect. The glow is close to daylight without yellowing. If you study in detail the design of this product, the manufacturer uses ready-made plinths manufactured under the Philips brand for the assembly of light bulbs.

As the results of the tests show, there are no problems with lamps with illumination of the terrain. But the temperature of the light does not correspond to what the Japanese say in the technical specifications. Those who purchased this lamp claim that it gives a strong light of bright yellow color, and any effect of xenon is completely absent. In addition, during operation, there was a weak resistance to vibrations and shaking - the dipped beam was constantly out of order when driving off-road. But aside from the shortcomings, there are advantages in this Japanese product. The yellow shade very well illuminates everything that is next to the car, in wet weather. Special makes Koito a good choice as fog lamps. The roadside is illuminated at 10-15 m.

MTF Light Palladium

This is another halogen bulb H11 (12V, 55W). It is produced in South Korea. By technical characteristics, this product is in no way inferior to the previous versions. The product has a metal diffuser of heat - this will not allow the plastic parts to collapse. In addition, the llama flask has a special coating, which protects against ultraviolet radiation.

An important feature of these optical elements is the presence of a two-layer interference coating. So the manufacturer managed to significantly increase the capacity of the flask (by 15%) and reduce heat generation. This product has coped with all tests - the terrain is well illuminated at a distance of up to 100 m. Up to 50 m, the spot of light is very bright, the roadsides are well illuminated. The color is white, without any yellow or blue shades. The product gives exactly white light. It perfectly fits as a passing beam.

LED analogues

These products are made mostly nameless Chinese manufacturers that promise the buyer a bright light, the power of not less than halogen lamps and the glow of a level comparable to xenon. In fact, this is not true. In 95% of cases - this is a fraud. But there are quality options. Modern manufacturers offer high-power LED bulbs H11 for head and additional optics. Some models really have characteristics that are significantly higher than those of xenon. As for the socle, it gets the owners of a variety of cars.

Characteristics of LED elements

The regular halogen bulb H11 55w is capable of providing a stream of light at 1350 lm. They are used as dipped-beam lamps and in fog lamps. LED optical elements are also divided into two types. Distinct models for fog lamps are weaker than 700 lm and for dipped-beam lights with a power of more than 1350 lm. By the level of power consumption, LED solutions almost completely correspond to halogen ones. This makes it possible not to use "bluffs" so that on-board computers do not report errors. In such lamps, the light flux and the right cut-off line are provided by four diodes. They are located two on each side. These diodes are small in size and arranged in such a way as to simulate filaments in halogen models. The principle of light scattering in the reflector will be the same. If you try to compare LED lamps with xenon, then as a result they correspond to the maximum level of brightness of xenon optics.

Advantages and disadvantages

These optical elements with the H11 cap have a lot of positive qualities that cover minor disadvantages. The most expensive of all is the H11 bulb. The price is 20-50 dollars - and this is its only drawback. But the LEDs have already proven themselves as one of the options for car tuning, which allows not only to make the headlight brighter, but also to change the shade of its glow. Among the advantages are a huge number of color solutions that allow you to choose the most optimal option. To operate these lamps you need less energy, which is better for the battery. Thanks to these lamps, it is possible to reduce fuel consumption. These models, in contrast to halogen, better tolerate vibration and shaking, voltage surges in the on-board network, temperature changes. These products can often be turned on and off, but do not be afraid of their failure. The base H11 in the LED version is heated to low temperatures, and the glass of the headlight is also not heated - the risk of deformation is completely excluded.

The service life of such a lamp is seven years or more. Although more often these paws work out a maximum of five. However, even such a period is much longer than the operating time of the halogen lamp. LEDs have an excellent focus and provide comfortable lighting. Among the manufacturers there are serious companies with vast experience that offer quality products.

Types and types of LED lamps H11

As in the case of halogen light, the H11 diode models are offered in several types. Often the main criteria are the number of LEDs, the purpose and the lens. Each variant is characterized by its technical characteristics - power, level of light transmission and other important parameters.

H11 155DM2323

Here the manufacturer offers fourteen LEDs. This allows you to give a brightness level of up to 1200 lm at a maximum power of 15 watts. This is one of the brightest LED headlights. The manufacturer positions it as a driving light. The glow is white and pure. This solution can supplement the xenon light.

H11 12Epistar HP +4 Cree

Here, in addition to diodes, there is a special lens.
As for the number of diodes, there are sixteen. This option is considered one of the most expensive, but in terms of technical characteristics - this is the optimal purchase. This level of brightness will no longer produce a single bulb. The brightness is 2520 lm. The power is 80 watts.

Summary

The modern market offers a large selection of lamps for a car with a modern and versatile base for every taste, different types and characteristics. The H11 base is perfect for extra lights and for the main light. The choice is represented by LED and halogen lamps with high characteristics. We examined the pros and cons of both products. Which one to choose is up to you.

For about 5 years, motorists have been using more and more headlights, where different lamps are used in the H11 socket. And it is not surprising, because the quality of road lighting depends on the safety of drivers. This article answers the questions: "What is the H11 LED lamp and what are their advantages?"
  So, first we will give the main advantages of any LED car lamp:
   temperature of the light flux;
   duration of operation and reliability;
   the absence of filaments in the lamp design;
   easy installation of LED lamps;
   universality of LED lamps.

Lamps LED H11 have become quite widespread among car owners. Materials for the socle are metal and plastic. Plug - with two contacts. The brightness of the lighting depends on the direction of the light, the types of built-in LEDs. Today you can choose a different shade of white, which will depend on the temperature of the glow.
  Lamps H11 LED are installed:
   headlamps dipped or driving;
   fog lights.

In the range of different options are presented. Site  company "TRIALAIT" will help you to choose any lighting equipment. So, some are suitable for decorative glow (white light from LEDs fits perfectly with xenon), others can be used as Daytime Running Lights.

Features of LED lamps h11

Features of these lamps are a low level of energy consumption and heat generation. There are times when incandescent lamps melt a headlamp or wiring in a car. H11 LED lamp does not have such a disadvantage. This allows you to mount even in plastic headlights.

H11 lamp, the photo of which is shown below, is used as a source of main light, and as fog lamps. Today they are the most popular and widely used of all models and types of similar lamps.

H11 lamp, the photo of which is higher, has in its design one thread. Group H11 lamps - flange lamps. They are classified as such because they have a clear distance from the flange to the spiral. This is important in order for the lighting to be correct. Today, many manufacturing companies make a huge number of different types of instruments with such a socle

Undoubtedly, they all differ from each other by the technologies of the production process, properties and parameters. The average power of a standard H11 lamp is about 55 volts. But some manufacturers produce lamps with more power. The lamp connector H11 is similar to the bases H8 and H9. The difference of these lamps lies in the power level, as well as in the types of petals. In the fog-light, you can easily put the H11 xenon lamp with a temperature of 4300K, 5000K, 6000K.

The choice of H11 of a dipped beam lamp depends on the brand of the car, the taste of the car owner and the money possibilities. The first place among the sales is the LED H11 lamp, the price of which starts from 1000 rubles. Pricing policy in principle depends on two factors:
   manufacturer;
   technical indicators.

Modern technologies based on LEDs have increased the distance and brightness of road lighting. So for today there are systems of LED lighting for cars that are equipped with adaptive functions. Basically it is a H11 lamp with a power of 80 volts. In their design they have special stabilizers. They protect against voltage surges. In addition, the design of the lamp has a protective mechanism against reverse polarity. H11 LED lamp 80W consists of 16 LEDs with chips each with a power of 5W, can be used as DRL (daytime running lights) for better information on the road! The housing of the LED lamp H11 80W is made of aluminum and plastic with a proper heat removal. The indisputable advantage of the H11 diode lamp is that there is no need for additional blocks or resistors.

LED-lamps in cars a new word in automotive lighting. They are often used instead of halogen and xenon light sources. Lamps H11 LED are designed for installation in fog lamps and head light. By their design, they are as close as possible to standard bulbs.

View Poll Results

After a survey of consumers, it became clear that there are three main reasons for the widespread demand for lamps with H11 LEDs.
   The first - a high service life - a service life of more than 50 thousand hours.
   Second - the proximity to the design and appearance of an ordinary light bulb, and hence easy installation.
   The third is the brightness of the light flux emitted by the LED lamp H11.

Many Japanese and European cars are equipped with LED lamps with H11 socket. Such lamps insignificantly burden the on-board electrical network, besides they are reliable, safe and durable.

The assortment of Netuning online store features LED lamps that are suitable for front fog lamps and dipped headlights. Some models, for example, a set of bulbs H11-28s35hp, allow the conversion of PTF into DRL. A wide choice of models of different power and light flux will make it possible to select the LED lamp as precisely as possible.

Characteristics

In 2015, the first miniature Philips LEDs appeared, thanks to which it became possible to install LED lamps and replace them completely with halogen or xenon bulbs. Characteristics of car LED lamps with a base H11:

• power: up to 55 W;
• luminous flux: 700-4500 Lm;
• number of LEDs: from 2 pcs .;
• average life: up to 5 years;
• guarantee: 1-2 years.

Advantages and disadvantages

LED products quickly fell in love with motorists for its undeniable advantages: energy saving, durability, mechanical durability and even glow. The lamps with the H11 socket have other advantages:

• high light output with little energy consumption;
• minimum heat during operation;
• high brightness;
• not beating the eyes of the light;
• resistance to vibrations.

As such, there are no shortcomings in H11 bulbs. A car enthusiast may remain dissatisfied with the work of lamps if he buys a low-quality product. To avoid trouble, buy products from trusted manufacturers. In the Netuning online store, only high-quality LED lamps are presented.

Criterias of choice

The safety of driving depends on the quality of the light bulb. The main criterion of choice is the color temperature:

• from 6000 K - cold white color;
• up to 5000 K - neutral white with a yellowish tinge;
• below 3500 K - warm white.

No less important factor is the purpose of the device. Selecting power is better given the purpose for which you will install lamps (near / high beam, PTF).

Netuning online store provides reliable devices, which design includes diodes Philips, CREE, COB and other famous companies. All products are warranted for up to two years. In the catalog you will find LED lamps for any brand of car.

The site is also presented, and a car salon. You can order the goods on the site or on the phone specified above.

Especially high quality of light is demonstrated by white H11 lamps. White light is the most natural for the human eye, which makes it possible to see it an order of magnitude better. First and foremost, it concerns road marking, signs and retroreflective elements on transport and clothing. In the white light they can be seen much further and more clearly! The disadvantage is the poor visibility of white light in the rain.

That is why white H11 lamps, which are considered basic, are always supplemented with fog halogen bulbs. Without "fog" with the current speeds can not do, especially in the off-season! They are also produced with the H11 standard cap and, as you know, are sold to Moscow, in the store "AvtoLampy.Ru".

Auto-lamp H11 - the guarantee of long work of headlights

By the way, high-quality lamp H11 55W is not only stable operation on any make and model of cars, but also reduction of wear of its on-board electrical equipment. "Unnamed" halogen lamps with H11 cap can also be of high quality, but no one will give you a solid guarantee. So, it is necessary at own risk and risk to play Russian roulette, putting on the end the safety.

Similar can be said about the bulb of the far, and about the passing beam H11. Some drivers naively believe that good light bulbs should be installed exclusively in the main beam, and for the near one, almost anything will be of use. With halogen lamps, this number does not work out - to feel yourself on the night road is really confident, you need to treat the head light extremely responsibly.

From all of the above, it follows that if you plan to use H11 car lamps, you better give preference to famous brands, such as Philips or Osram. Practice shows that they issue the smallest possible number of failures, most of which are due to errors in the installation of lamps or the incorrect operation of electrical equipment.

What should be the qualitative H11 - incandescent lamp

Really high-quality lamps H11, which you can always buy in the store "AvtoLampy.ru", it is primarily modern materials - a durable quartz glass from which the flask is made, the perfect gas mixture that is pumped into it, and a durable base, assembled on an automated line. It is enough to take such a lamp in your hands to understand that in front of you a quality product.

Boxes in which quality halogen lamps for auto H11 are packed, also serve as a guide for the buyer. Firm halogen bulbs standard H11 are sold in bright, clearly printed packaging and therefore from a distance are noticeable in any store. This is true not only for headlights, but for every H11 bulb - a good lamp starts for the buyer with a good label.

However, in recent years, even "unnamed" H11 lamps have become attractive design. 12V 55W light bulbs today are a very popular commodity, so manufacturers do not lose a single opportunity to sell more of their products. The buyer also has two ways - to spend several hours to choose autolamps or just buy them in a tested store.

We buy lamps H11 Philips

In our e-shop you can buy high-quality lamps H11 12V at an order of magnitude less than the one that will meet you in the vast majority of city stores. Moreover, if we are talking about halogen lamps Philips H11 - they are now the real sales leader, so the price for them is quite high. But not with us!

Not the least role is played and our range - in it you will find a really large selection of H11 lamps in PTF and head light. First of all, it is, of course, Philips H11 lamps, but other brands worthy of that, are not deprived of attention. Especially I want to emphasize that the range of our store is constantly increasing, replenishing as we find new halogen lamps for you.

In this article we will talk about important elements of automotive lighting - H11 lamps. What are the different varieties, what are their features, advantages and disadvantages - here is information based on actual reviews of car owners.
