LUX V3 in stock on Ebay. Too good to be true?
Hello.
I found these LUX H8 Angel eyes on Ebay for $199. I emailed the seller asking if these were V3, and he said yes. I know Lux deals around $250 new. Is this really true? Anyone who knows how Lux V3 parts looks like comparing to the picture on Ebay, please let me know. Here is a link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LUX-BMW-ANGE...#ht_5781wt_922 |

Well, the seller is a liar
Those aren't Lux, and they certainly aren't V3.0 Here's link to picture of Lux v3.0 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...82&postcount=1 -and- http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...postcount=1241 Thos eBay lights are noticeably different, especially the heat sink, not to mention the packaging is not Lux... DON'T BUY EBAY CRAP lest you fall under P.T. Barnum's statement that 'There is a fool born every minute'

If they are superior - why does he need to steal the Lux name?

However, the 20 w buy 20 w total 40 w is a warm blue, our 12 w by 12 w total 24w is more cool blue like the. New BMW angel eyes, and they are just as bright.

I have Lux and although I think they are the best plug and play currently offered they are no where near what the new factory halos are. |

Sellers will use any gimmick possible to make their products sound the best out there. It is absolutely impossible for those LED's to make 1500 lumen each let alone be 20 watts each. If they tried to pump 20 watts of power into that light it would get so hot that the solder would melt in about 5 minutes and it would literally fall apart - No joke! This product in the post is NOT our LUX H8 V3 angel eyes but rather some cheep Chinese knock-off product using crappy electronics, resistors and a design that looks like ours.

20 watts split into 4 bulbs is not a big deal. There are a ton of 5W bulbs on the market. Also 1500 lumens from 20 watts comes out to a luminous efficiency of 75 lumens/watt, which requires no miracle of science. There are bulbs out there which do twice that. Lastly, 20 watts into an LED leaves about 4 for heat, which is roughly the amount of heat you can output from the palms of your hands. Why dont you buy em, test em, and post the results? Show us why we should spend an extra hundred bucks on Lux. Color me cynical, but yours wouldnt be the first aftermarket automotive company to charge a premium for a familiar name... |

We have tested them and weren't impressed much by them. the LED's do not draw much power, and the ready they claim its a 20W system is because they use resistors to cheaply and inefficiently waste away power. Resistors are not a very smart choice since all they do is get hot, and as they get hot their resistance goes down, causing them to get even hotter.
