Led Project

They seem nice, please tell us when you do install them with pics of night and ground shadow

Looks like they would probably work better in a reflector than they would in a projector. I think its pretty safe to say if it needs those fans, its going to fail at some point especially if there is no fan warning system.
Would be nice to see some shots of the beam.

 

Will be interesting to see how they work out. Can't imagine the LEDs would produce much heat, if any. What's the price for the pair? I have the factory LEDs headlights on my PIPA. Really like the light output and I don't notice any draw on my EV mileage.

 

Even LEDs put out heat. Though they put out much less heat then incandescents of similar luminosity, they are also much less tolerant of high junction temperatures and poor thermal design.

A 24 watt lamp of any technology should have a heat output approximately equal to 24 watts minus the actual photon power of its light output. For an incandescent, that might be 21-23 watts of heat. For an LED with today's technology, that is likely be in the range of 12-18 watts.

Product Description

Never Change Your Headlight Bulbs Again. LED Kits Are Guaranteed For The Life!
You are looking at the future of headlight lighting. Gone are the days of halogens, and HIDs are super bright but are prone to issues on newer vehicles and are rated to burn about 3,000 hours. Introducing the second generation Lumatron Superior LED headlight kits! Our LED headlight kit far surpasses HID kits in brightness. There's no warm up time, instant on!
The Lumatron 24 watt LED headlight kit is only produced in H4,H7, H11, H8, 9005, 9006, H4-3 (High / Low Beam) bulb sizes, and produces a vibrant 6000k pure white light. This LED headlight kit includes military vehicle standards for heat dissipation on the ballasts.
It comes with 2 ballasts, and 2 fans, as well as all wiring needed for a plug and play setup (which is only a few simple connectors)
And Remember it is Covered by a Lifetime warranty! You will never have to pay for a headlight kit or bulbs again.
Features:

• High power, High brightness, and strong pentrating power.
• Designed to last 80,000 hours!
• No warm up time!
• No relays to run, get a true plug and play high / low setup.
• Ballasts are solid aluminum with a built in fan.
• Low voltage protection, high precision constant current driver chip.
• True Plug-N-Play Conversion Kit.
• Safe for headlight and fog light, won't melt the housing and runs cooler than stock Halogen bulbs & HID bulbs.
• Fits into existing headlights or fog lights, no modification or retrofitting required.
• Bulb lifespan of 5 to 10 years.
• Ballasts and bulbs are water resistant and shockproof.
• Waterproof connectors and grommets.
• Guaranteed for life

What's Included:

• 2x Premium LED Headlight Bulbs
• 2x LED Headlight Kit Ballasts
• 2x LED Headlight Kit Ballast Fans
• 1x Installation Instructions

 

Oh, I see. When they designed it to last 80,000 hours, they didn't mean operating hours, but only calendar hours.

If the ballasts need forced air cooling, then I'd also want to know more detail about how well the thermal design requirements of the LED die were handled. Some consumer products are done well, some are quite bad.

 

Any updates? Looking forward to a review!

PriusChat member Dawit installed similar high power LEDs in his stock lowbeam projectors.

He has since switched to an HID kit, Morimoto if memory serves me correctly, because he said the HIDs were brighter and had a better beam pattern over the LEDs.

Hopefully, he chimes in on this thread and his experience with the LEDs.

FYI, he's still using the LEDs in his foglights.

Prius Star Ship:

Did u take the plunge & get these? I'm sure a lot of us would like to see how the output will be in the projectors.

 

Anyone want to try these?

They should fit into the OEM foglight shrouds.

This one looks even better.

Heat sinks built into the rear of the housing and real lenses to focus the LED output.
