I like LEDs over halogens because they're more energy efficient. I just wish they'd said "Cool, we can use fewer watts for the same number of lumens" instead of "Cool, we can get more lumens out of the same number of watts"
I’ve never had a LED headlight go out. I’ve had many halogen lights go out.
That too, the ridiculous lifespan of LEDs, to the point where it didn't even occur to me to mention it.
I also agree with you: power efficiency is rad.
Realistically, on an ICE vehicle, the power efficiency gain from halogen to LED is negligible, but still. Electric vehicles, that difference becomes important.
Very true! Thought I had no idea how ridiculous the battery capacity was on some electric cars was until Technology Connections ran vehicle-to-load to his kitchen and powered his phone, laptop, and all his cooking stuff for 24 hours straight, simulating a power outage. I think it drained like 17%.
Still, when driving, every bit of efficiency helps!
