Hi!! does this bulb heat more or less than 24 watts halogen? and are they brighter? thanks!

Not sure what the equivalent wattage or heat dissipation spec is but they are bright as hell. I never really touched them after long usage. On my Camaro, they're being used as DRLs. They are much, much brighter than the bulbs car came up with.

Most bi-pin 20w halogens that I have seen are MR11. So you're probably in good shape. It's frustrating that the owner's manual from their own website does not state what kind of bulb this is precisely.

I use a 60W equivalent LED bulb and it's been working great. It doesn't heat up or anything so I'd really recommend it. Plus, the bulb's brightness is sufficient but very relaxing for the eyes, at the same time.

You really can't tell they give off any heat at all, I've never noticed them to be excessively warm. You can use an LED instead but I have yet to find an LED that doesn't really stick out in that lightbulb design, the LEDs have a lot of plastic in their design as opposed to the halogens that have a sleek, metal look to them.

These bulbs burn hotter than standard halogen. I was less than satisfied with these. However you don't need any kind of motor attachment.

I can say that I use these bulbs because they do create heat for my salt lamps which is what you want. I am not sure if the bulb will cause your beads to burn, but I can say that the bulbs get pretty hot. You may want to go with a lower wattage than the 25watts.

Yes. No problem. I installed the CREE 75 watt equivalent warm light bulb and they're awesome. And since my lights are on dusk-to-dawn, the lower LED power use really is an advantage.

This bulb is listed as 55/65 watts by Philips, or the same as OEM. It puts out more power as light, meaning less as heat (total power is heat energy + light energy, if light energy goes up then heat energy goes down) so should produce slightly less heat within the headlight housing as compared with OEM (since more of the energy is going out the front of the headlight as light).

Hi Scott. I don't know from experience yet, but I'm in the same boat as you. I live in Ohio & have this bulb in my unheated garage. I read at least one review somewhere that said low temperature is not a problem & basically I'm hoping that review was correct. Btw, I'm very happy with this bulb so far despite the high price. I considered putting in fluorescent lighting but don't need to now with how much light this puts out. Good luck! Jerry

Not sure how to answer this but I will try. Yes, all halogen bulbs produce heat. If the housing your putting these bulbs in are designed for the H11 bulb, then the heat will not melt the housing.

Melted wow lol are you using the reccomended bulbs? I have two running 12hrs a day with uvb 5.0 fluorescent compacts bulbs (26W each) and no problem.

not sure about that. Usually it is the max load you have to worry about. I have 5 halogen bulbs, each 25 watts. Works fine

I've read somewhere they output 1200 Lumens with power at 22 W. More or less it compares with a 75W incandescent according to some charts. This doesn't take efficiency into account. I'd say a bit more than 75 after having had those for about a year. HTH.

Each light puts out 48W. Don't know what the halogen equiv would be. They're a lot brighter than the lights I had that used a 55W H3 bulb.One sunny day, a neighbor had shield their eyes when I drove up, they were so bright.

Halogen is hotter and uses more power ( watts ) . The LED will use less and last longer , generally more of a direct light from LED and whiter . I think its a win win for you .

I'm not sure of the wattage, and have not had any of the problems others have had. My electric bill hasn't changed much so I think it's doing what it's supposed to. Also, My bulb is still going strong after months of daily use. It is at full brightness as soon as I turn it on. My light is on from 7am until 5-6pm 5days a week. Occasionally it's off for 30 min here and there, but it's always as bright as the day I got it. Luv luv luv my bulb.
