Good evening.
Medical disclosure: I have kerataconis. It's an advanced and extreme form of astigmatism. Basically, my corneas are cone-shaped, and become increasingly more so as I age.
What that means is, I see things a bit differently. Particularly at night, or in low-light conditions. Consider the image below; I can confirm that this is pretty much what I see.
You may have seen some days ago that I was musing on the Book of Face about aircraft landing lights vs. pickup truck headlights. (Henceforth referred to as "Penis Compensators".)
Landing lights today are a bit different than what they used to be. Airplanes today land on established airfields under rigid control. The lights do help with visual approaches and landings, but they are more for anti-collision purposes today. You'd think they would be extremely bright, and for the most part, they are.
A typical landing light on an ordinary jetliner is somewhere around 600 watts, and produces around 5,000 lumens. If you live near an airport, go outside and look around. You'll be able to see these from quite some distance away.
You might have even seen something called a "String of Pearls". This is when ATC does it's job and all the aircraft are lined up and spaced approaching the runway. On a clear night, you can see this from miles away. (Sorry, no really good photos of the phenomenon online.)
I live in Waltham, which is 12 miles from Logan International Airport. If I go up to Boston Rock on a clear night, I can see all the way, and many miles more, to watch the aircraft lining up to land here at KBOS.
But what does this have to do with driving at night?
"Ordinary" halogen headlights these days are somewhere around 700 lumens. On a lighted highway, more than enough to see what you are doing, and much like an aircraft light - more for anti-collision purposes than anything else.
But I'm sure most of you have driven around at night recently. Most of what you see these days aren't regular old headlights. If you're driving an manly, American-Made pickup truck with gun racks on it, you ain't driving with no wimpy headlights. A variety of penis-compensators are available, up to an astonishing 12,000 lumens.
So that means many vehicles on the road today actually have brighter headlights than a Boeing 747. I can see airplanes from a dozen miles away; do I really need to see how small your penis is from a distance of twelve miles?

Using a 5000k light in your car headlights is a great way to increase your visibility at night. It will also make your vehicle look more upscale.
However, there may be better choices for you. Some drivers prefer a higher Kelvin rating, which means the light will look whiter. It can also lead to an accident and can harm your eyes and biological systems.
On the other hand, a 6000k light will provide less visibility in poor weather conditions. The blue tones in 6000k lights are more noticeable than the yellow tint of 5000k lighting. This may make the lights harder to see in the rain or if you have dense fog.
Regardless of what type of LED lighting you use, getting a higher Kelvin rating is best, as the lights will be brighter. A higher Kelvin rating also means the light will have a blue or purple tint, adding to its visual appeal.
However, this is only sometimes the case. Some bulbs may be marked as 6000k LED bulbs but have a different material. DOT certification may be less important for these cheaper LED lights. They might not be DOT approved, and you may end up paying a fine for using an LED light that isn't.
If you want to save money on something other than high-performance LED lighting, you can always buy cheap 5000k LED bulbs. They are inexpensive and easy to replace. They also have some amazing performance effects.
There are many companies who offers Best LED Headlight Bulbs as much as 12,000 lumens per pair
Whether you are looking for a bulb that provides light during the night or a bulb that provides more light during daylight, there are several LED headlight bulb brands to choose from. The following brands provide bright LED headlights at affordable prices.
Auxbeam LED bulbs are waterproof and have a 6,000K color temperature. They also feature a built-in turbo fan that reduces heat. The bulbs can also be adjusted to a 270-degree angle, which allows for a more even beam pattern.
SNGL Super Bright LED Headlight Bulbs are available in reflectors, reflectors without reflectors, and other shapes. They also come with a two-year warranty.
Cougar Motor LED headlight bulbs have been designed with a Cree LED chip that provides the best light output. They have a Turbo-Cool fan and can last up to 50,000 hours of continuous use. The bulbs have an aluminum casing for durability, and the plug-and-play design allows you to change your headlights in less than twenty minutes.
So that means many vehicles on the road today actually have brighter headlights than a Boeing 747. I can see airplanes from a dozen miles away; do I really need to see how small your penis is from a distance of twelve miles?
