Halogen Lights versus LED Lights for Two Wheelers: Which Works the Best?

Published on November 7, 2024 by BikeJunction

Lighting safety is one of the critical factors for two-wheeler rides as it directly hampers visibility, rider knowledge, and road safety. With LED lights in place, various modern bikes and scooters have seen the replacement of traditional bulbs.  However, both lights have their own benefits and drawbacks that must be considered to decide which is the ultimate choice and which is best suited to two-wheelers. Below, we will compare the efficiency, brightness, cost, and flexibility of halogen and LED lights. Importance of Vehicle HeadlightHeadlights in a vehicle are important for safety on the roads, especially in low light, darkness, or even fog. They help riders see obstacles, pedestrians, and other vehicles and act in time to avoid an accident. Good headlights ensure that not only the rider can see but also others can see the vehicle. Halogen Lights: The Traditional ChoiceThe two-wheeler market contains the oldest fixture, halogen lights. The beam they produce is warm and stable enough to provide lighting well during most conditions. Such as riding in the morning or daily commuting into the city or the subways. A halogen bulb operates by passing a current through a tungsten filament enclosed within a glass casing filled with halogen gas. This produces a yellowish color and a warm light. The Bajaj Pulsar 150 and the TVS Apache RTR 160 are the best two bikes with halogen lights.  Halogen Lights BenefitsOne of the main reasons halogen lights are so popular is their low price. A burned-out halogen bulb would be relatively inexpensive to replace. This makes them an excellent substitute for riders with budgetary concerns and effectively disperses light for conditions that involve fog and dust. Below are the 5 benefits of using a halogen light:Affordable and easy to replaceWarm light penetrates fog and dust betterOffers a wide, even spread of lightIdeal for classic or vintage bike aestheticsProven reliability over years of usageDrawbacks of Halogen LightsDespite their advantages, halogen lights have some notable disadvantages. For one, they consume more power and produce a lot of heat, which can stress the electrical system of a two-wheeler. Below are the five disadvantages of halogen lights in vehicles. Shorter lifespan than LED alternativesHigher power consumption increases energy useProduces excess heat during operationRequires frequent replacements over timeLimited brightness for night-time visibilityLED Lights: The Modern SolutionLEDs have recently become the favorite light among two-wheeler manufacturing companies and riders. Due to their excellent brightness, energy efficiency, and durability, they are chosen the most by riders. LEDs have revolutionized the illumination of two-wheelers. They emit light through semiconductors, which makes them extremely efficient in terms of energy usage and longevity. Furthermore, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and the Honda H’ness CB350 are the two best bikes with LED lights. Benefits of LED LightsModern LED lights have some intelligent features, such as adaptive lighting. Further, they change the angle and intensity of beams according to the speed and pitch of the bike, maximizing the cyclist's safety. Here are the 5 benefits of LED lights in vehicles. Highly energy-efficient with low power drawLonger lifespan, reducing replacement frequencyBright, clear light enhances night visibilityCompact design suits modern bike aestheticsQuick activation with instant maximum brightnessDisadvantages of LED LightsHowever, LED lights have disadvantages, too. Although their cooler color temperature gives a clearer beam in clear weather, it is problematic in foggy or dusty conditions. The LED light scatters more easily, which reduces the visibility. Let us know about the five disadvantages of LED lights in vehicles.Higher cost than halogen bulbsCooler light can scatter in fog/dustPotential glare issues for oncoming driversCompatibility issues with older vehiclesComplex repairs if malfunctioning Test Rides: The Final StepThe best way to make an informed decision is to test motorcycles or scooters equipped with both halogen and LED lighting. During the test ride, riders can experience both high and low beams, learn about the spread of light, and assess any adaptive lighting features. Test rides also allow riders to gauge whether the light causes eye strain or discomfort over a prolonged time, which can impact long-term comfort and alertness.Before you go, have a look at the Mark your calendars: TVS Motosoul 2024 on December 6-7.Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fb   Instagram-  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_insta   Twitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter
