Today we will make a review with a brightness of at least 300 lm. In the article, we will consider their features, measure the power consumption, dimensions in comparison with standard w5w T10 automotive lamps.

All samples, except for the last two (and Samsung) - Chinese factory production. The last copies were provided by Russian stores, the rest by Chinese representatives in Vladivostok. The general conclusion is that despite the fact that we still believe in the quality of "normal" goods, this was not confirmed in these tests. The Chinese representatives still hold the palm, despite the fact that they sometimes have a not very presentable appearance.

w5w T10 COB car led bulbs

The light sources in these lamps are two COB LEDs. The dimensions of this lamp are: 36.65 mm (length) x 11.65 mm (width at the top). The power consumption of this type of w5w E10 COB LED lamp is only 1.2 watts. In particular, with a power supply of 12 V and a current consumption of 0.1 A. 0.1 * 12 \u003d 1.2 W

Color temperature: 6500K.

I was pleased that despite the Chinese production, the lamps have imported microcircuits, stable quality, and a long service life.

The total brightness of this type of lamp is 350 lumens.

These lamps are good only for those who want to have the most respectable appearance of their car. Extraordinary look. Good bright light. Despite the fact that the brightness of 300 lumens is optimal for such lamps, our advice is not to take such lamps. Despite the fact that now there is a general interest in such samples. LEDs degrade fairly quickly. And in the end, you will either get a double color, or the light will be brighter on one side than on the other. There is no narrowly directed beam, and since the reflectors in the headlights are located only on one side, you will not get high brightness, respectively.

Car LED bulb w5w T10 4 +Cree

From the name it is clear that the light sources in such lamps are SMD 5630 LEDs and Cree LED. A lens is installed on the front of the lamp, which increases the light output emitted by the Cree LED. Lamp size is only 30x11mm/1.2x0.4 inch (L*D)

The lamp consumes about 0.9 watts. Which in terms of 12V * 0.07A, we get a little less than 0.9 watts.

This test sample is the most optimal in terms of price-quality ratio. Heating with the included dimensions and hourly operation of the headlight - no more than 55 degrees. The base does not overheat. More detailed analysis this sample made it clear that such cooling was made possible by a not particularly high-quality assembly (joint) between plastic and metal, which gives natural convection. Brightness is more than good in this case.

The total brightness of this lamp is 450 lumens.

LED car lamp W5W -8 SMD 5630+Cree

The light sources in this lamp are 8 ultra-bright SMD 5630 LEDs and one Cree LED. Also, this lamp has a lens, which, as in the previous test sample, allows you to increase the luminous flux from LED Cree. The power consumption of this type of lamp is only 0.72 W. 12V*0.06 A=0.72W. Lamp size: 38*12mm

Lamps of the latest generation in 2015. According to the first characteristics, they shine well and look good. However... Even such an abundance of a metal radiator cannot cope with heating. After half an hour of operation of such lamps, the heating amounted to 72 degrees around the perimeter of the lamp. Closer to the base - a few degrees less. Accordingly, in hot weather, this will further aggravate the degradation of the LEDs. Despite the brightness, these lamps do not meet the declared characteristics for "longevity". Yes, beautiful, yes, soundly, but not practical.

The brightness of this lamp is 550 lumens.

LED lamp w5w T10 36

The light sources are heavy duty SMD3014 LEDs. The measured power consumption of such lamps was 2.4 W (12V * 0.2A). The peculiarity of this lamp is that almost all on-board computers see such a w5w T10 LED lamp for cars as a standard one. And no errors are thrown. Bulb Size: 42x12x12mm/1.6"x0.5"x0.5"(L*W*H)

Another lamp that, despite its discreet appearance, has enough good performance. Price-quality level. In these lamps, the main thing, again, is to choose the size. Because The lamps are large enough and may not fit all headlights. Here you need to check everything several times. The heating of the lamp was 62 degrees. 12 samples were tested. Everyone's temperature varied plus or minus three degrees.

The brightness of this sample is 580 lumens.

LED lamp w5w T10 8 Cree

This feature of the lamp is that 6 Cree LEDs are located on the sides, and 2 in the front. A lens is also installed in front of the lamp, which is designed to increase luminous flux. Power consumption from the on-board network at 12 V - 0.96 W.

One of the most pleasant samples in terms of tactile sensations. Heating after half an hour of work was 74 degrees. The light is very bright, but most of it is directed to the sides, and not "directly". Again, this all affects the presence of only 2 LEDs on the front, while on the side there are so many LEDs, and even from Cree, it makes no sense. A waste of money, as at the output, at a right angle, we get no more than 400 lumens. In the minuses, you can also write down the rather high cost. Again, let's leave the purchase of such lamps to the judgment of the buyers themselves. But our answer is NO.

The brightness is 710 lumens. such lamps are produced as white, as yellow and red glow.

LED lamp w5w T10 - 10 Samsung

The light sources in such a lamp are ultra-bright Samsung LEDs: 8 on the sides and 2 on the front. A lens is also installed on the front. The power consumption of such lamps is 2.04 W at 12 V and 0.17 A.

The last lamp of our test - practically "hacked" itself from the very beginning. The lamp blinked periodically until it became clear that the lamp lamellas were not soldered properly. After intervention with a soldering iron, everything worked. And this is provided that these lamps were really very expensive and received by us from a "good" manufacturer. Heating was 78 degrees. Other minuses, as in the previous sample. Expensive, not worth the price-quality ratio. The light is not directional, a lot of light goes "to nowhere". Some may like it, but we are only looking for something that will be really safe for us on the roads. We didn't see it here.

The brightness of the lamp is 650 lumens.

Today I will pay attention to those samples that interested me in their originality and the most promising in terms of light.

I received a lot of questions from the guys who liked the article, but did not satisfy the comparison with an incandescent lamp. I promise that after that I will definitely do a comparative test with the lamps of the most famous and "famous" w5w t10 manufacturers - MTF, Osram and Philips. I can imagine how much work it will again require ... Stick it in, stick it out, take a picture. But in fact - it will be an interesting comparison review. Well, for now, we will test the next batch of w5w t10 bulbs with Aliexpress and then we will move on according to the plan we have chosen. Stock up on patience

All the samples that I will describe in this article were bought by me in January 2016. And in principle, only because I had not seen such before. Let's see what happens.)

These bulbs were purchased from this store. It has a bigger price tag, but the light bulbs look prettier)

Sample No. 11 - led w5w t10 test on 6 5630 SMD LEDs in car dimensions

w5w t10 on 6 pieces SMD 5630

1 of 2

Good bulb in dimensions W5w t10. This is justified by the fact that it has a wide angle of light, low heating, modern SMD 5630 are used in production. The lamp base is made in a plastic case. A metal shell is dressed on top, which is designed to take away excess heat. I do not think that this is what plays a big role in thermal conductivity). Somehow it looks uncomplicated. small heating is ensured only by the fact that only six chips are used in these instances.

Four 5630 diodes are located around the perimeter, and two in the front part under the lens. Due to this location in the headlight, such light looks quite powerful and is clearly visible at dusk. Available in several color variations.

Looks good in the headlight. It's almost invisible unless you look closely. Dimensions in diameter - 0.9 cm and length 3.3 cm.

Sample No. 12 dimensions in w5w t10 car for 30 SMD 3014 with Canbus error protection

w5w t10 30 SMD 3014

1 of 2

Even though I don't particularly approve of SMD diodes. Due to the fact that they are already becoming obsolete, I purchased this type of light bulbs only because interesting design it turned out from the gentlemen of the Chinese). I ordered it - they came.

Indeed, both in the photo and live, the w5w t10 bulbs in the dimensions of the car look very dignified. I have never come across this format. The size of the paw is 30 mm long and 11 mm in diameter. The base is naturally standard - 9 mm. In the upper part - 6 pieces of SMD 3014 along the perimeter - 24 pieces. The case itself looks like plastic, but in fact it is some kind of "alloy", possibly "ceramic".

Heating is negligible, but in the world - a worthy sight. I like it. I ordered 6000 K color temperature.

Available in dimensions t10 canbus error protection. Are issued in different color schemes. According to the seller, the diodes in the entire store are only Epistar. A guarantee for any bulbs - 12 months.

Sample No. 13 - dimensions in a car w5w t10 with 6 SMD 5630

Aluminum w5w t10 SMD 5630

1 of 2

This is an improved version of the specimen, which we considered at number 11. In principle, I will not say anything new about this lamp. Also 6 diodes SMD 5630 ^ four along the perimeter and two under the lens. The only difference between number 11 and number 13 is the radiator. This bulb has a one-piece aluminum heatsink. Moreover, it is made of aluminum, and not an understandable alloy. I read from the seller on the site that he uses Samsung SMD 5630 in these bulbs))). To be honest, I don't believe it. And these diodes are not similar to Samsung ones. Well, anyway. The fact of how the dimensions shine and the absence of heating of the diodes are the main and main characteristics of this instance.

Conclusion on the test led car lamps in dimensions w5w t10

These, of course, are not all light bulbs, there are quite a lot of them, but I described the most interesting and interested me. Further, if I have time, I will supplement the reviews, tests on these bulbs. I ordered a few more copies in addition, in order to constantly update and write new comparisons. And according to the three tested above, I can say that I am most pleased with the samples at number 12. Extraordinary appearance, Canbus protection, and bright light. Small heating and almost a penny cost are important aspects that may be of interest to more than a dozen buyers. So, what to say about the fact that LED products for cars from Aliexpress are always bad is bullshit. There are very good specimens both in terms of light and heating. In order to prove this statement, I will test the most "pleasant" Chinese-made lamps with well-known brands W5W T10 from Philips, Osram, MTF. It will be later, stay tuned for site updates. For this I say goodbye and went to prepare new photographs for a new review material.

In contact with

In this article, we will review LED lamps W5W(T10), let's compare them in terms of characteristics, note the features.

W5W(T10) (“baseless”) lamps are usually installed in parking lights cars, motorcycles, quads. Also, these lamps are used in interior lighting, license plate lighting, reversing. It is worth noting that W5W LED lamps are absolutely interchangeable with W16W (T15), therefore, in fact, their application in the car lighting system is unlimited.

Let's start our review with one of the smallest lamps - W5W-1. Outwardly, this model is similar to a conventional incandescent bulb and has identical dimensions with it. Feature of this model is the focused light stream. As you can see in the photo, this lamp is not so bright, but its power consumption is so small that even with the lighting constantly on, the load on the battery will be minimal.

The next model under consideration is the W5W-1SMD. The luminous part of this lamp is represented by one SMD LED. The light bulb shines more diffusely compared to the previous model. Due to its very compact dimensions, it can be used in space-limited places. Very low energy consumption is also a feature of this lamp.

W5W-1SMD2076 is similar to W5W-1SMD in terms of LED location and overall design. But the SMD2076 LED itself is much brighter, represented by 6 lighting source chips. In terms of brightness, the W5W-1SMD2076 is similar to a conventional 5W incandescent lamp, but much more compact in terms of the dimensions of the luminous part. This model can be recommended if you are satisfied with the brightness of standard lamps, but there are size restrictions.

The luminous part of the W5W-4SMD lamp is a board on which 4 SMD LEDs are located on one side, and resistors on the other. Due to this design, it was possible to achieve only a lateral glow, which is very important in cases where it is necessary to obtain a directional and precisely lateral light flux. This is especially true for interior lighting, because. usually the base in the ceiling is located in a different plane, which does not allow full use of the brightness of a conventional incandescent lamp.

Lamp W5W-5SMD. It has all the advantages of previous models. The lamp is compact, has a brightness of 75 lum, which is brighter, albeit slightly, than a conventional 5W lamp. Unlike the previously reviewed models, it has a volumetric glow, which immediately catches the eye. A good choice if you need an inexpensive, economical in energy consumption, but at the same time not dim light source.

The W5W-1,5H lamp has a light scattering angle of 180 degrees. and a brightness of 75 lum coming from a 1.5W HP LED. As you can see in the photo and video, the model is quite bright. It is also worth noting that a feature of this type of LEDs is that they have a higher resistance to elevated temperatures and humidity. Therefore, this type of lamp is more preferable if a block with halogen or xenon lamps is installed nearby, which is characterized by high heating during operation.

The next model - W5W-1.5H L - is an analogue of W5W-1.5H, differing only in the presence of a diffusing lens. The characteristics of the lamps are similar, but the model with the lens has a more diffused glow, which is often lacking, especially if the design of the headlight is such that the base is slightly deepened. In this case, most of the light flux will not hit the reflector and will not be amplified. This model excludes this. It is also worth noting, although this is not so important when choosing a light source, externally this model has a very pleasant design, and if the glass of the headlight or the ceiling of your car is completely transparent, this lamp will look great.

W5W-1H4SMD. In this model, 2 types of diodes act as light sources - HP and SMD. Powerful LED HP, located at the end, allows you to achieve a fairly bright glow from the front. Four SMD diodes, located on the sides, complement it and allow you to achieve volumetric glow. But due to the higher total brightness, compared to the standard lamp, the effect is more significant.

W5W-1H+1.5H. This model is one of the most successful, it combines three very important components - compactness, brightness and volumetric glow. Based on HP LEDs, protected by a metal cap, this lamp is resistant to high temperatures. Well, due to the compact dimensions, you will be able to achieve a significant increase in brightness in those places where lamps with more massive dimensions, and therefore bright ones, cannot be installed.

W5W-3H. This model is distinguished by its miniature size, the luminous part is represented by three HP diodes, protected by a metal cap. In general, in terms of direction, light intensity, design, this model is similar to W5W-1.5H, but differs in a much brighter glow.

W5W-1H8SMD. Similar in design to W5W-1H4SMD, has additional 4 SMD LEDs on the sides. A good choice if the goal is to get a more voluminous and bright glow.

W5W-13SMD. Lamp based on SMD - diodes. The emphasis is on a significant increase in the illumination of the side surfaces. In general, the effect of this lamp is as follows - a much more voluminous, saturated glow.

W5W-68SMD. The brightest lamp based on SMD diodes. At times more saturated glow compared to the standard lamp. 68 LEDs, located on the sides and front, allow for a more uniform light output.

W5W-5H1.5 L. Before the appearance of this model, the W5W-68SMD remained the brightest W5W lamp for a long time, and the developers could not achieve a significant increase in light output without retaining the dimensions that would allow the diode lamp to be completely interchangeable with the standard one. But, finally, it happened, and most recently the W5W (W16W) -4H1.5 L (-5H1.5 L) model was released, which allows you to increase the brightness compared to a standard incandescent lamp by as much as 15 times! Previously, especially if this type of base is used in a reversing light, one could only dream of such a significant increase, while maintaining regular energy consumption. Now it's possible! This lamp produces a luminous flux of 750 lumens. The front LED, “reinforced” by the lens, produces a directional light flux, and the compact size of the lamp allows you to significantly increase the scope of their application.

All photos were taken in low light with the following settings:

Shutter speed: 1/100s
Aperture: f/3.2
Sensitivity: 100 ISO
Focal length: 35mm

In connection with FAQ about how this or that lamp shines, a video was created showing the operation of W5W LED lamps.

w5w lamps have found their application in lighting the dimensions of the car, license plates and interior. It comes without a plinth and is very easy and quick to install. The w5w t10 lamp gives a beautiful even light.

Variety of w5w lamp models

Lamps are made in various designs - ordinary with an incandescent filament, LED and halogen. Depending on the purpose, you can choose an acceptable option for yourself. Halogen or LED headlights are best suited for lighting headlights. Although for low and high beams, you can use ordinary incandescent lamps. Their main advantage is simplicity and low cost.

It is best to use an LED side light bulb w5w, as they can easily tolerate flickering and flashing. Also, the main advantage of LED lamps is a huge service life and resistance to various vibrations and shocks. Halogen lamps for the most part, they are used for low and high beams, as well as in car tuning. Since such lamps give a very bright and even light. Halogen lamps, due to their design, also have a long service life.
w5w lamps are available in the light range from 2000K to 6700K.

How to choose the right lamp w5w?

First of all, look at the car's documentation, where the manufacturer indicates the types of lamps used. Or consult with our manager. We will select the best option for you.
In our online store you can always buy w5w clearance lamps from the best manufacturers such as OSRAM and PHILIPS.
Order a t10 w5w lamp, the price of which is always lower than that of others.

Universal lamp w5w 12v 5w

Unpretentious in maintenance, reliable and very durable lamp 12v w5w will last far more than one year, because it is thought out to the smallest detail. Engineers and designers have managed to achieve high efficiency of such halogen lamps, thanks to which they have become really very popular. The fact is that a modern w5w 12v 5w lamp has a color spectrum of 3200 K, and the service life of such a product is designed for 100 hours. The tolerance in the deviation of the luminous flux does not exceed 20%. Base type - W2.1x9.5d.
