Frequently asked question · heat
Won't the LED get too hot in the headlight?
No, and that's just physics: a Hilox LED uses 30 watts, a halogen bulb 55. On top of that, the XTR bulbs actively carry their heat away with a built-in fan, so your headlight doesn't have to break a sweat.
Short answer
No. A Hilox LED never gets hotter than a halogen bulb: the LED uses 30 W, a halogen bulb 55 W.
No, an LED doesn't get hotter than halogen
A Hilox LED never gets hotter than a halogen bulb. The LED has a power of 30 W, a halogen bulb 55 W. So it's impossible for the LED to get hotter than halogen.
The XTR LEDs also have a Smart Cool chip with a Maglev fan that carries the heat away and stops the LED chips from burning out.
