Hi all,

I got the 9003/H4 Luxster Punisher LED from Amazon rated at a whopping 70 watts per lamp.
Here's the results in the 940 E-code housing.

It has a separate lamp driver module built into a heat sink in the harness
with shielded cable that fits Ok in the 940 lamp housing.

This package includes a pair of 2X3 LED chips on each side of the center post with the lower one for high beams and the upper one for low beams. (only one on at a time) The upper chip for low beams is partially blocked so only one vertical row of the 2X3 CSP chip is active, with the other covered.

They tested out at 70 watts for high and low beams after being on for over a minute.

The high beam was very good with a tight pattern and measured higher than my
current Hikari 2022 LEDs, but only slightly higher in light output
The Low beam was not a tight beam, It had a sharp high and low cutoff but
was not the desired tight pattern since it was 180 degrees wide.
The killer was the low beam light output was about half of the brightness
of the 16 watt Hikari and using 70 watts of power.

These results were made using a Weston Universal light meter against a big piece of cardboard measured a foot away from the average bright spots.
It's certainly a crude measurement system, but useful for comparing two
LED packages. This is something impossible to do with the specs given by
LED merchants that are mostly useless. Nowhere do they include items about
LED chip performance Luminous Flux/watt, or what is disgraceful, no specs for
high and low beam for current, and lumens etc.


The differences between the Hikari 2022 and the Luxster Punisher 2023
the Luxster set uses a total of 140 watts and the Hikari uses 32 watts.
The Luxster has twin 2X3 LED chip modules on both sides of the center post.
The Hikari has a single 2X3 CSP module on either side of the post.
Only one of the modules can be at the focal point of the reflector.
The Luxster driver must include a lossy load resistor whether you need it or not

Results may vary in different housings for patterns but not for the power used.
MacDuff if you're listening: I can't recommend an LED for an AWD that I know nothing about. The first issue being does it fit in your housing.
I'm disappointed that you can't cooperate to measure the current draw in your
Auxito LEDs. Now it's certain that current draw isn't a good enough way to review LEDs. What the public needs is honest technical facts from engineering
data sheets about LED's and not the dummied down specs you get from the merchants, often straight up lies.

I don't expect the merchants to improve their integrity, so direct comparisons
like above might help.

Happy motoring all, Bill
