Does anyone think the 9007 Silverstar is that much brighter for the money?

Ive used these blubs since they came to market. They are brighter then stock, work better in the rain and the best reason I use them, they cut a wider path of sight. Which helps me spot deer waiting in the shadows, in turn giving me time to react.

I don't personally find I experience better visibility from the Silverstar, and in addition to extra money, remember as well that the Silverstar has a shorter design life. You'll not only pay more for them, you'll replace them a lot more often. Last year I was able to find the design life data on Osram Sylvania's site, but I couldn't find it just now. However, you can expect to replace XtraVisions more often than standard halogens, and Silverstars more frequently than XtraVisions. If I recall correctly, the difference in design life can come out to years for many drivers. The brighter bulbs achieve the extra "brightness" by burning a smaller filament at a higher temperature, so life suffers heavily.

No, in fact I have been noticing the my brights are not that much brighter than low beam.

It made a noticeable difference in a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix. Reflective signs are brighter and I feel it is now safer at night with these bulbs. I would buy them again if the car lasts longer than they do.

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.

I would say that the light is equally as bright, but somewhat more brilliant and focused. I am very pleased with the effect. I used a combination of downlights and eyeballs.

Its quite bright on the high setting. I doubt I'll even need the high setting during daylight until the batteries start to get weak. First time I shot was full sun and on high the red dot was "bleeding out", I had to turn it dimmer to get a cleaner dot for clean aiming. Oh, right. The Red Dot scope from TruGlo I put on with the NcStar 45-degree mount has the qualities listed above. :)

Might be overkill but it would definitely work. I would save the money and just get the double bright

I would say it is close to the same brightness. Its not blinding if that helps.

I'm going to take a guess here any say the headlight optics are making the difference. Our pathfinder light throw seems to be weak so that is why I go with the brighter bulbs.

I think the Olight is really bezel heavy and I don't think it's as bright as they advertise. Also, there is not as much spill so it's more of a search light because it has more throw. I don't have this model of the NiteCore but my other NiteCore lights seem exceptionally bright and well made. Although, overall I think Olight is the better brand.

I just bought and returned mine. I got a 350 dollar ticket here in the US with it operating! I wouldn't trust this "new" model ANYWHERE. People may lie the new look or fancy lights, but until you have actually SEEN it protect you, or fail, it is all speculation. It failed.

Simple answer, no. Not even close. It is bright, but not the advertised 1,000 Lumens.

I have the 900, also have two head lamps of the 600 version, cool and natural. I use them about 98% of the time, they are a little brighter then the 900, one is 1090 lm ver my 900 can.t tell the diff. if both cool white.

That's not true mine has 700 tvl with 150 ft still see very clear and colorful. Night time can see great up to 75 ft without blurry or fuzzy pictures.

Definitely bright enough. I know what you mean about the lumens but something must be different when it comes to led bulbs cause this one is fast brighter than my previous epson projector that had regular bulb and 2500 lumens? If your worried about it lg does make this same model but s little better and more expensive. This is a really nice very small smart projector. The hd picture is just amazing same with 3d

Good Question, it's probably 900 to 1500 ...I have them hooked up to a railing on my boat for spear fishing so It will be a few days before I go back to check the Lumens listed HOWEVER ...........do not go for the 50 watt ..it is no brighter than the 30 .. It's bigger , bulkier and heavier ... ....this 30 is pretty damn bright though ... ...get the bright white not the cool white ...they all come from the same manufacturer out of China I bought from two seperate retailers cool white ...bright white ...brights are slightly better ... ...and both sets are still working and very well ... I have 4 on the rail so my boat looks like a UFO ....one would be fine for a driveway or deck /pation ....my son was using one for the basketball hoop in our drive ...they played all night .. ....hope that helps

The light color is close to a 6000k HID appearance. I feel that it is way brighter than a HID set up.

I own the PD35, several of them, and if they make a brighter one I want one! I love the 35
