A selection of the best models with H7 base

Let's get acquainted with the rating of the best models, compiled on the basis of customer reviews and product specifications.

TOP 3 standard halogen lamps

Such lamps are distinguished by their reliability, ease of installation, affordable price and high performance.

# 3. Neolux Blue Light H7

The model is intended for low beam, provides intense illumination regardless of road conditions. Even in adverse weather conditions, the driver will be provided with a sufficient level of safety. On average, for a set consisting of 2 lamps, you will have to pay from 720 rubles.

Important! When installing such lamps, do not touch the bulb with your hands, otherwise they will leave prints that could lead to premature damage to the product.

# 2. Goodyear Halogen Н7 12V

The power of this halogen product is 55 W. The model is capable of producing a color temperature of 3200 K and a luminous flux of 1500 lm. For the manufacture of flasks, quartz glass is used, which has a UV filter (the latter will protect the headlights from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays) and produced in Germany.

# 1. Narva Н7 Standard 24V

The model is intended for installation in vehicles with a 24 V on-board network (often trucks). Thanks to the PX26d base with a flange connection and two contacts, the lamp can be placed at the desired distance from the reflector. The model produces white color with a glow temperature of 3000 K. The lighting angle reaches 320 degrees. Power consumption - 70 watts.

TOP-3 halogen with increased flow

For reinforcement, a filament with a high melting point is used (due to this, the glow temperature rises) and a special gas mixture (it is pumped into the flask under high pressure).

# 3. Blik UltraLight +120 Н7 24V

The power supply of this model is carried out from the on-board electrical network with a voltage of 24 V. In other words, the lamps are intended for trucks, buses, and special equipment. Characteristically, the luminous flux in this case is 120 percent higher than that of a standard lamp.

# 2. General Electric Н7 MegaLight Ultra +120 GE98264

This model uses an improved filament with a special coating. Which led to an increase in the brightness of the lighting (by about 120 percent when compared to the standard). There is protection against ultraviolet radiation, which is especially important if the headlights on the car are plastic - so it is less likely that they will become cloudy.

# 1. PIAA H7 Hyper Arros HE-923

The model is produced in South Korea. The glow temperature is 5000 K, the power consumption is 55 W. It is powered by a standard voltage of 12V.Typically, such lamps are placed by the manufacturer in a plastic container, from which they can be easily removed. The container also prevents damage in transit.

TOP-3 halogen lamps with extended service life

Such models are capable of working up to 4000 hours (in contrast to conventional halogen lamps, the resource of which is about 200-300 hours). For this, the light output was reduced, which led to a decrease in the rate of destruction of the filament.

# 3. Bosch Longlife Daytime H7

The operating time, increased three times, and the increased power of the light flux made it possible to ensure that the model is suitable for all passenger cars that use low beam at night / day. This is a great alternative to the stock car lamp for daily use.

# 2. Osram Ultra LifeН7 64210ULT-02B

According to the manufacturer, when the headlights are turned on for 60 percent of the time, these lamps will last for 100,000 kilometers. The power consumption of the model is 55 W, it is powered from a 12 V network. It can last at least 1000 hours (maximum - 1500).

# 1. Philips LongLife EcoVision H7

A lamp like this will last 4 times longer than a standard automotive product. Equipped with excellent quality filament and therefore requires minimal maintenance. For a couple of such lamps, you will have to pay at least 800 rubles.

TOP-3 LED bulbs H7

LED is a conductor that perfectly controls electrical flow, and therefore LED lamps are more energy efficient and brighter. They are also durable, easy to install, and have an increased light transmission index. Consider the best models.

# 3. Sho-Me G8.2 H7 6000K

These are the same bright lamps as xenon, but have a more versatile, simpler and vibration-resistant design. Moreover, they are also less fire hazardous. The Sho-Me G8.2 model can last at least 10 thousand hours (maximum - 50 thousand).

# 2. Baxster SE-Series Н7 6000K

Such lamps are made on the basis of Korean Lattice chips, capable of shining twice as strong as competitors, at a power of 22 watts. The lamps heat up very weakly, and therefore their design is extremely close to simple halogen products due to a smaller radiator.

# 1. Cyclone Type-21 Dual H7

The luminous flux of this model is no worse than xenon thanks to the use of CSP LEDs, manufactured using the latest technologies. The product is capable of delivering 4500 lumens.

Note! The LEDs are located here in the same way as incandescent filaments in halogens, and therefore the model is a worthy replacement for a regular lamp.

TOP-3 xenon models in the H7 base

In such lamps, the bulb is filled with an inert gas, and the light is emitted due to the electric discharge between the electrodes (an arc is created), rather than heating the filaments.

# 3. PROLight Slim H7 5000K Kit

The model with a high light temperature (equal to 5000 K) produces white light, almost indistinguishable from daylight. Thanks to this, driving the car is quite comfortable, and the headlights do not dazzle the drivers of oncoming cars. With the help of PROLight Slim, you can not only replace standard lamps - these products can be installed instead of any model without re-equipping the headlights.

# 2. InfoLight H7 +50 4300K

Due to the increased heat transfer, the driver will be able to concentrate on the way, clearly see objects from a long distance. With prolonged heating, the lamp does not deform, its geometry is not distorted, and all thanks to the ceramic holder.

# 1. Winso Slim Ballast Н7 5000K Kit

The power consumption of these xenon lamps is 35 W, and the power is supplied from a 12 V network. The country of origin is Poland. In addition to the lamps themselves, the kit includes wires for connecting to relays and ballasts. The light is white, does not dazzle oncoming traffic participants and does not tire the eyes.

GOST requirements for low beam lamps

When choosing such lamps, the current quality standards should also be taken into account. So, according to GOST, the following requirements are put forward for H7 lamps:

• permissible luminous flux - from 1350 lm to 1650 lm;
• the power should be no more than 58 watts. Otherwise, if the power is higher, the electrical equipment system of the machine may be damaged.

Secrets of choosing lamps in the H7 base

There are several of them, but the most important, perhaps, is still power.

What should be the power?

All products with an H7 base, despite the design differences and different manufacturing technologies, have one standard power - 55 watts. If the package indicates a different power, then it is better to pay attention to a different model: fans of such experiments often had to see how the headlight or electrical wiring overheats, the lamp itself “spreads” ... In a word, the power should be the same as recommended by car manufacturers.

Colour temperature

The above-mentioned characteristic indicating the shade of light that is emitted by the product without the use of colored bulbs or filters. As a rule, this parameter should be between 4000 K and 6500 K (Kelvin). Such a temperature is considered a reference, it is familiar to the eyes, it loads them less. But during rain, for example, such light is strongly reflected from water droplets, which means that visibility deteriorates.

Note! If the temperature indicated by the manufacturer is below 3000 K, then the light of the lamp is yellow. In bad weather, of course, this is effective, but under normal conditions it is very inconvenient.

Lifetime

It is important to remember here that the higher the voltage, the shorter the service life of the product. For example, if the voltage is increased by 5 percent, then the service life will be reduced by about 40 percent! In the reverse order, that is, to decrease the voltage, it works the same way. Of course, the higher the voltage, the greater the luminous flux.

Which H7 bulbs are not worth buying?

These are the products mentioned at the beginning of the article with instructions such as "Offroad use only" either "Not for use in Europe"... In simple terms, they shine so "crookedly" that the manufacturers themselves talk about the impossibility of using them (legally) on public roads. What is characteristic, the violation of light distribution, most likely, will be located precisely in the area of ​​the oncoming lane.
