Color Temperature of H4 Bulbs

Stock OEM halogen or incandescent bulbs are typically around 3200 Kelvin, which is a yellow light. High visibility headlight bulbs range from 4000-5000 Kelvin, which is much brighter and whiter, increasing the rider's ability to see what's ahead of them as well as increasing visibility of the driver to oncoming traffic.

A picture shows a digital document labeled "ARTICLE" that has a blue box where an image will go and lines of text. The backdrop is a world map, and at the top, the name "Ruhani Rabin" is written in bold. An arrow points to the article to highlight its significance.

You'll notice that some bulbs have written as "55=110W". This means that the bulbs technology allows them to get the equivalent of 110Watts of light out of a bulb that only uses 55Watts… energy saver.

 kelvin_scale Kelvin: Color temperature is a unit of measure for the color of light ? it is not necessarily related to the heat of the light source. A higher color temperature represents a color closer to actual sunlight. H1, H2, H3, and H7 bulbs are usually referred to as such. An H4 bulb is also referred to as a 9003 or an HB2.
