How do these compare with the Sylvania 9006 SU SilverStar Ultra Halogen ?

I of course do not know the Sylvania line --- however, at the time I "researched" the entire line. I wanted to make sure the lamps were street legal and an acceptable "value". The bottom line is I could not tell the difference between the 10 year old bulbs I replaced and the new bulbs.

I found that halogen bulbs give off a great deal of heat and the color is a yellow glow that I found harsh. Whereas the LED "daylight" lights gives off very little if any heat and the daylight bulb gives off a white color and more soothing to the eye. We have put in many spot lights and I replaced all halogen bulbs with the LED daylight bulbs and we love them. This is a personal opinion.

They are more white than blue. I have Silverstar Ultra as my low beams and the PIAA are a little yellower than those. The Silverstar Ultra are even more white than these without being obviously blue.

I can't say for certain as I haven't compared them. It's possible that is a newer model or slightly higher wattage. In my experience they are likely similar. A quick search on 1900 revealed little results surprisingly. Sorry if not much help

I ending up buying the Mits wd-73835. It is the higher end model. Still a great deal vs plasma. The Mits bulbs are now only $99. On the other hand the Samsung at $1730 is a wicked deal and no bulbs to buy.

I agree, don't let brighter mean better. If you read some of the "expert" reviews they tend to state that standard settings are more true to life. C-Net and other sights rate the Samsung picture as good as any. The sound on both TV's is adequate for everyday viewing. If you are looking for a "cinema experience" no TV sound system on its own will be great. I compared both and went with the Samsung but that is my personal taste.

Definitely brighter than stock halogens. I doubt any more or less brighter than the Silverstar. I'd suggest not to use these bulbs with a projection style headlight assembly. There is a blue 'cap' on the bulb tip which resulted in a 'cut' line when the light diffused through the glass. I went back to a cheap bulb for my '11 Sonata.

They are great bulbs but they are not cheap. The quality of the light and the bulb are good. They used to have a better warranty. I tried Nokya and they looked good but did not last at all, even though they are cheaper they kept blowing out. If you do not want to spend the money then I would go with a Sylvania bulb. Hope this helps.

The 6000 are brighter then the 8000. The 8000 will be more blue in color. Studies has showen that the 6000 will be best for visibility.

These bulbs as with the older silver stars are closer to the 4000k color spectrum and are white with slight yellowYellow is around 3000k, anything above 6000K will be bluishMost pure white bulbs will be around 5000K like the Diamond Vision."The Philips Diamond Vision bulb does not offer a greater light output but provide a white light for enhanced styling"

No, I have not used those Sylvania bulbs. I ordered the GE energy smart 60 watt replacement bulbs pack...13 watts each bulb. They are working fine.

Yes thats for low beam, but I would also repl the 9005 if you have high wattage bulbs, I have 100w Hella on high and did the relay mod that makes the low beams stay on when you hit the high beam, huge difference.

I originally purchased multiple types/brands of LED units for different rooms which have different lighting. It only took a couple days before we decided the performance and quality of the Starpower LED units was exactly what we were looking for. We replaced all of the other units with these and could not be happier. The 2700K output (color) matched our regular flood bulbs exactly. Could not be happier with them.I was surprised to see how far the dimming goes down (and there is no humming sound from these units). As for your question, 5% would be about right if you asked me.

These round replacements wouldn't fit into my under-cabinet light 'pucks', so I can't compare. Counterintuitively, the rectangular 3x4 LED replacement does fit and is quite close in color/tone -but slightly less bright- than the Xenon bulbs in adjacent sockets. Either LED or Xenon lights are vastly better than halogen because they generate less heat and last much longer.

The bulb is physically smaller, is all. They will both produce the same number of lumens, given the wattage is the same. They are good for smaller enclosed fixtures. The color temperature of the minitwists is 2700 degrees K. Sylvania offered 3000 K bulbs when I wrote the review, but now most of the Sylvanias are 2700 degrees. 3000 degrees produces a better white; the 2700 degree bulbs are a little more towards yellow. One of the best features of the Sylvania is their circuit. Some brands will flicker if your light switch is illuminated, but Sylvania bulbs don't flicker. If you want a whiter white, (but not towards blue, like a 4100 degree light), see if you can find some 3000 degree CFL's. I put away a good stock of these Sylvanias when they were being phased out.

80/20's will be bright, while the bronze will enhance the low end. That's my experience!

Jerry, I'm not entirely sure? I don't think you can really go wrong with the Philips 9006 X-treme Power though and I highly recommend them. My night vision is horrid and these definitely help tremendously with my night visibility. You could easily go with the cheaper of the two and still get great bulbs in my opinion.
