Review on πŸ’‘ High-Performance KATANA LED Bulbs, 12000LM 72W 6500K, H11 H8 H9, Conversion Kit with 360Β° Adjustable Beam Angle – Halogen Replacement by David Ruwala

good light bulbs and lighting accessories

Bought BEAMTECH H11 LED headlight bulbs, 50W 6500K and KATANA H11 H8 H9 LED headlight bulbs, CREE chips for Chevy Malibu with reflector headlights. They were purchased to replace 2.5 year old JDMaster LEDs because 1 of the JDMaster had burned out. I won't complain about the JDMasters as they are also used as daytime running lights and it's not entirely fair to compare new and old bulbs, but both new bulbs were slightly brighter than the rest of the JDMasters. Since this is a PITA to replace the bulbs on this Malibu (the nose cone needs to be removed) I wanted to replace both the low and high beams. I bought these based on data from bulbfacts dot com (/led-kits/chart/) (VERY helpful info) and both have worked according to the review. Katana is much brighter than Beamtech, but Beamtech has slightly better spread/pattern for low beam applications. Just read the review on bulbfacts for both bulbs. I can't say the bulb facts are perfect, but these two bulbs were better than the original high beam halogen bulbs. Both fit perfectly and Beamtech takes up much less space... PS Lightening Dark H11 was not available when purchased.
