I received my lights today from www.neverburnout.com. They are actually D2C bulbs. They sent a letter along with the package stating they were a free courtesy upgrade from the D2R. In the letter it said that the D2C produced over 300 lumens more than the D2R 8000K bulbs.

 

Do they have the ceramic shield on the bulb though? If not they are going to cause major glare issues in your reflector housings

 

does 8000k mean the temperature get up to 8000 kelvin, or just means a higher luminosity and has nothing to do with temperature? and if the temperature does get up to 8000 kelvin, which is greater than the Sun's surface temperature (5880 kelvin), it would melt the housing for sure. let me know if im totally crazy, and this never happen to anyone.

 

its a color temperature assignment, not a actual temperature

 

oh man, good sig material here..... anyone wanna claim that?
