Sirius NS-2160 6 inch round driving lamp

Sunday, 14 July 2024

More than enough for driving safely on poorly marked freeways or rural roads and especially in foggy conditions where led’s white light output is actually ridiculously bad.This lights are halogen, which produces an output of warm intense light with a CRI of 100 (color rendering index), so our eyes see better the illuminated objects.
These are not for the person that wants to impress others with insane light output. These are for seeing your road in a proper and actually healthy warm light and are better for your eyes in short or long drives.

Fog and white light are not a good match. Nature.com has a scientific research showing better reaction times when the road in foggy conditions is illuminated with halogen lamps, the next better time was with HID’s and the worst was with led white lamps.
Foggy and rainy conditions tend to refract less light energy originated from tungsten filament lamps (halogens like these Sirius) than LED lamps. The nature of the light produced by halogens refracts less on fog suspended water droplets and thus your vision needs to work less to distinguishing objects illuminated beyond the fog infront of your vehicle.
Always use a good wiring kit, a relay and any switching according to your road regulations.

Overall I am very please with these lights, I have recommended them to other friends and I would buy them again if these got damaged or stolen.
