What are the differences between laser lenses and LED lenses?
2 Answers
Laser lenses and LED lenses differ in the following aspects: Different definitions: Laser lenses consist of laser diodes located at the rear of the vehicle; LED lenses refer to vehicle lights that use LEDs (light-emitting diodes) as the light source. Different characteristics: Laser lenses are more energy-efficient and fuel-saving; LED lenses are characterized by high brightness, a wide variety of colors, low power consumption, and long lifespan. Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the eyes of the car. They not only relate to the external image of the car owner but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or under bad weather conditions. Additionally, the use and maintenance of car lights should not be overlooked.
I've done quite a bit of headlight modification before, and the difference between laser lenses and LED is significant. LED lenses use semiconductor lighting, which turns on quickly and saves power, but their brightness ceiling is generally limited. Laser lenses, on the other hand, are something else—they generate light by exciting phosphors with lasers, and in terms of brightness alone, they completely outperform LEDs. On a night drive on the highway, laser lights can illuminate up to 600 meters ahead, while LEDs max out at around 300 meters. However, the cost of laser technology is shockingly high, making it something only luxury cars can afford, and it generates significant heat, requiring additional cooling systems. LEDs, in contrast, are more versatile—if they fail, replacing a bulb costs just a few dozen bucks. But in the long run, laser technology is more energy-efficient and has a longer lifespan. If the budget allows, I'd definitely go for laser—it doubles the sense of security on night drives.
