Lux 5.0 vs. WeissLicht Angel Eyes?

Magic Man · 10-31-2009, 05:03 PM

I like that the WeissLicht seems to have less "stuff" attached to them (ie no fan, extra wires, etc.). The LUX just seem so fragile. Oh, the WeissLicht are $50 less.

Any comparisons between these two yet????

FrankiE90 · 10-31-2009, 06:16 PM

pics please.

JayKay335i · 10-31-2009, 08:11 PM

Um... So you like the fact that they dont provide adequate cooling?

It doesn't get better than lux.

NiVeDh · 11-01-2009, 01:35 AM

Would love to see comparison pictures.

Mahhvinn · 11-01-2009, 03:06 AM

i recommend lux. i'm currently running the lux4.0 and love them. even lighting through all rings and the build quality imo does not seem "fragile" compared to some.

Are you kidding me?
You haven't even held the product in your hands, much less used it. How can you even comment?

Weisslicht has been thoroughly tested (left on for days, inside a headlight, on the workbench). It does not overheat.

I'll be reporting your post. Next time, don't make comments like that unless you have evidence. Just recommend the product you like, and let it sell on it's own merits.

We are confident that the Weisslicht brand will be taking the market by storm. We've already sold out, twice.

If you look really closely, you can see the itty bitty heatsink hidden towards the bottom. It's small, but mighty

E90 Skye · 11-01-2009, 10:24 PM

I have LUX 4.0 and love em, nice brightness with a quality LED white with a hint of blue.
curious to see these in action though.

Park2670 · 11-01-2009, 10:30 PM

I was wondering this same thing between the two. Saw them on Jlevis site, but really like what Marc and his lux has done for the community.

For LED based angel eye system, there are many different factors that contribute to the overall performance of it.

First off, there is the LED itself - LUX 5.0 uses the highest quality LED, Made in The USA, that has proven to be one of the most popular and most relaiable LED on the market today.

Second - there is the drive currrent of the LED. the higher the driver current, the brighter the LED. LUX 5 is driven at a level that provides maximum output without any sacrifices.

Lastly - heat. Heat is a major concern of LED's, and that is why it is designed with a FULL aluminum heat sink design to help keep it cool and regulated.

Also on a side note about LED's - Higher wattage does not mean a better solution - it actually could mean the exact opposite. I could develop a 100watt LED system for angel eyes, but it doesnt mean its going to be that much brighter. LED's are known for their efficiency, so less power means you have a better LED

Thanks Marc, looks like my original choice is still the better one. Anything new coming out soon? Im hoping the gf will get me a set for Christmas

AlpineG05 · 11-01-2009, 11:01 PM

i love my lux 4.0s, they look amazing at night you won't regret it.

c_jeong89 · 11-01-2009, 11:14 PM

I'm curious to see what the WeissLicht looks like also. I own lux 5.0 myself and love them but would like to see what other companies have to offer.

Damn! Talk about protecting your business interests!

JayKay335i · 11-01-2009, 11:54 PM

Seriously.

Didn't mean to offend you. I like lux, its hot, and a TON of others use it.

Its been around for a while and its a tried and true great product.

chrisE92 · 11-02-2009, 12:26 AM

I'd like to see comparisons between the two as well

c_jeong89 · 11-02-2009, 01:57 AM

Those actually look really nice. I wish I could seem some comparisons i.e. lux on one side Weisslichts on the other.

JayKay335i · 11-02-2009, 02:31 AM

Those things are pretty damn bright. Day shots?
