Headlight Bulb and being seen better

<< < (3/3)

K2-K6:
You've got new fangled paraffin in your lamp?

 I still think acetylene offers a most superior illuminant!!

Just to add another alternative to experimenting with LEDs and their poor focal pattern, I bought a modern H4 bulb with a different colour temperature, plenty of choice out there at reasonable cost.
On the photo you can see the difference between the old and the 'new'

K2-K6:
The Phillips lamps I've listed above are rated at 4300k colour temp whish is much closer to daylight at about 5000k and they do make a big difference especially when you are around more modern light sources in newer vehicles.

For reference, original halogens tended to be around 2800\3400 k. Basically as a generalisation the lower the k number the more yellow the light source and the higher the k then the more blue the light appears. Bright unfiltered daylight under perfect blue sky can be as high as 10,0000k.
