What Are the Mini Projector Bulbs and How to Choose?

Selecting a high-quality bulb with exceptional brightness and a reliable cutoff line is crucial for nighttime driving. Despite the overwhelming variety of bulb options available in the market, you might not have come across this innovative bulb with a built-in projector at the front. If upgrading your reflector headlights to projector lights is on your agenda, then you should definitely consider this alternative.

We introduced the first-generation mini lens bulb Y6 a year ago, followed by subsequent releases such as the three-color temperature Y7S, the compact Y9 mini, the dual-lens Y9 plus, and the most recent Y12 series. Let's delve into why we launched the mini projector bulb, its benefits, and compare the models COLIGHT Y6, Y7S, Y9 mini, Y9 plus, and Y12.

Why Did We Launch the Mini Projector Bulb?

Reflector headlights have been used since the early days of automotive lighting. These headlights utilize a bulb enclosed in a steel bowl with a mirrored interior to reflect light onto the road. However, with advancements in technology and an increasing number of vehicles on the road, traditional halogen bulbs have become inadequate. Consumers find issues like dim light output, high power consumption leading to overheating, and shorter lifespan problematic.

In response, manufacturers introduced several LED bulbs to address these concerns, enhancing brightness, color temperature, efficiency, and longevity. Yet, achieving a proper low beam cutoff line remained challenging unless reflectors were upgraded to projector headlights, which can be expensive.

Thus, we designed a bulb featuring a mini projector at the front, allowing users to upgrade their reflector headlights to projector headlights at a more reasonable cost. The COLIGHT mini projector bulb delivers a perfect cutoff line and bright white light, enabling you to see further down the road for enhanced safety without blinding oncoming traffic.

Advantages of Mini Projector Bulbs:

1. Optimal Low Beam Cutoff and Uniform Light Distribution, No Glare

Fitted with an innovative low beam shade cup and a micro-optical projector lens, it ensures a clear cutoff line. Unlike typical H4 bulbs that only project about 30% of their lumens onto the road, this specialized optic projects roughly 90%. The micro-optical lens minimizes light loss and maximizes light-gathering, achieving lighting distances up to 150 meters.

2. Compatible with LHD and RHD Modes

Models Y6, Y7S, and Y9 plus are designed for use in both right-hand-drive (RHD) and left-hand-drive (LHD) countries. Initially set to LHD mode, users in RHD regions like the UK or Japan can easily switch modes by adjusting the low beam shade cup, a simple three-minute process.

3. Superior Cooling Performance and Extended Lifespan

Constructed with an aluminum lamp body, the mini projector bulbs efficiently transfer heat, maintaining operational temperatures between -40°C and +80°C. This design limits light decay and extends the lifespan to over 55,000 hours.

Installation Guidelines

Before purchasing, note that models Y6, Y7S, and Y9 Plus are tailored for H4 plug types, and due to their larger heat sink, you may need a deeper dust cover for installation. Models Y9 mini and the Y12 series come in five plug types, matching the size of standard halogen bulbs.

• Y6, Y7S, and Y9 Plus fit in H4 reflector headlight housings without projectors, with socket diameters over 1.5 inches.
• Y9 mini and Y12 can be used in H11, H7, H4, 9005, and 9006 reflector headlights with projectors and hoods.

• Follow the process of unscrewing the base, inserting the bulb correctly, securing the buckle, and reattaching the base. This can be done in approximately 10 minutes, without needing a professional. Ensure the hood is on top when installing Y9 mini and Y12 series for correct light output.

Product Comparison:

• Choose models Y6, Y9 mini, Y9 Plus, or Y12 for fan cooling.
• For fanless cooling, select the Y7S.
• Use any mini projector bulb for H4 reflectors; for 9005, 9006, H7, or H11, use Y9 mini or Y12.
• Select Y7S for multiple color options.
• The brightest bulbs are Y7S and Y9 Plus.
• Mini projector bulbs can be used in LHD countries, while Y6, Y7S, and Y9 Plus are also suitable for RHD regions.
