Comparing Halogen vs. LED Motorcycle Headlights: Which Performs Better?

To every motorcycle enthusiast, selecting the best headlight is of outmost importance, safety and style. Typically, the argument is between old halogen bulbs and new LED lights. At YIAA we are automotive lighting specialists and can help you with making a comparison. Knowing the basics of what separates the two in terms or technology, performance and value can help you make a good decision on which one you want to use for your next motorcycle lighting upgrade.

Light Output and Visibility

Halogen lights emit a yellowish light, which may generate an unsatisfying performance for the contemporary night riding due to insufficient amount of light as well as dimming and scattering of the beams. YIAA LED headlights, on the other hand emit a bright white light that is far closer to natural daylight. This greatly increases contrast and helps to reduce eye strain, thereby helping you to more easily see road hazards and other obstacles in the day or night.

Energy Efficiency and Heat

The trouble with halogen currently is its crap conversion rate of energy to light vs heat. This temperature is just high enough that it could cause harm to nearby headlamp parts with prolonged use. YIAA's LED technology is substantially more efficient, pulling less watts from your motorcycle's electrical system and creating a lot more light. This produces cooler operating temperatures and makes this light a great addition to any long-term project.

Durability and Longevity

The delicate filament in a typical halogen bulb is easily broken by the slightest jarring or vibration, something that's become second nature to expect when riding on two wheels. This results in a short life and frequent change outs. YIAA LED headlights are made with advanced cooling material that could handle working environment with temperature up to 20040-140°F/-40160°C. They're designed to work for thousands of hours, long lasting far longer than halogen bulbs and offering peace of mind that you won't have to worry about replacing them in the middle of a long drive.

Safety and Modern Features

With LED technology additional safety and lighting features are available on top of the basic illumination, which is not possible with halogen bulbs. YIAA adds advanced features such as dynamic light and dedicated Daytime Running Lights (DRL) into our headlights. These not only makes your motorcycle more visible on the road during both day and night with a some added colour output, but also due to its technology you can get that OEM look in your car which is often associated with latest model vehicles.

In summary, the halogens have been out of standard and this LED technology by YIAA is winning in all possible criteria. Whether you prize better night time visibility and energy efficiency, or demand performance and long-lasting endurance complemented with built-in safety benefits, LED is the clear choice for today’s motorcycle. For the safety and better sight, opt these YIAA LEDs to light up your road.
