Circuit Performance 4300K White D2C Bulbs
Circuit Performance 4300K White D2C Bulbs
I'm looking into alternatives to the Philips 5000K bulbs because I want pure white light. I don't want any blue/purple hue. The Philips 5000K look great, I've seen them in person. Pure white. But they're pricey. Anyone ever heard of these? Input?
IvoryGT? Ever heard of these?

Average Luminance: 202500 cd

For reference, here is their 6000K

I think MTEC has 4500K bulbs if you want to try those. If you want a white white output, I believe a 5000k bulb is your best bet.
If you guys are judging by temperature rating only, then I'd have to wait for some other responses. I've found that it is not a very consistent from brand to brand. 6000K is white here while it's blue there. 5000K is white here while it's yellow else where. Etc.
For example:
Their 4300K looks pretty damn white. But I'm concerned that the pictures are deceiving. It's very difficult to capture light on a camera the way it actually appears. It's also very easy to alter it in post processing.

Pictures won't tell you anything and other than Philips I would be weary of what they say the K rating is, most is inflated. The actual rating will most definitely differ.
The price of Philips allows you to NEVER having to replace them for 3+ years. I seriously doubt any other company other than OSRAM or Koito can match the performance.
So if you pay for these at like 50 a pair...having to replace them every 6 months. I don't think 200 a pair for Philips that last 3 years is all that expensive.

85123's would be a good choice if you could still find them new. Since they were only put on a select number of early HID equipped BMW's, they are going to have significant hours on them and thus reduced output. Paying $150 for used bulbs with unknown hours would be a very bad idea IMO if you are concerned with output or longevity
