As a front-runner in cutting-edge automotive lighting solutions, SEALIGHT offers an array of high-performance LED lights for vehicles. Two such prominent series are the Xenower X1 and Xenower X2 Forward Lighting Series. Both provide substantial improvements over standard halogen bulbs, but have some key differences in specifications and price. This guide will compare Xenower X1 and Xenower X2 in depth so you can determine which model suits you best for your needs and priorities.

Available Bulb Size

The first comparison point is the bulb sizes available in each series. This aspect is crucial as it ensures a seamless fit within your vehicle's existing headlight assembly. Both Xenower X1 and X2 offer a wide array of sizes to cater to various vehicle models. These sizes include 511, 506, H4, H11, H13, 9005, 9006, and 9007.
The X2 series steps up the game by adding the 9012 bulb size to its collection. This expansion in bulb size increases its compatibility range with different vehicle models, making it a slightly more versatile option. Hence, while both series offer an excellent variety of bulb sizes, the X2 series edges ahead with an additional size.

Power Output and Luminosity

Power output and luminosity are the defining factors of a light's performance. The Xenower X1 series packs a punch with a power output of 100W per pair and an impressive luminosity of 14,000 Lumens, delivering bright and clear lighting for safe driving.
In contrast, the X2 series further ups the ante with a remarkable 150W power output per pair and a superior luminosity of 20,000 Lumens. This increased power and luminosity ensure an even brighter and wider beam pattern, enhancing your visibility and safety during night driving.

Color Temperature and Bulb Design

Both series exhibit a color temperature range between 6000-6500K, offering a bright white light that closely mimics daylight, reducing strain on your eyes. As for the bulb design, the X1 series uses three groups of CSP Y19 LED beads on one side. On the other hand, the X2 series incorporates the advanced CSP 7035 LED beads, enhancing its overall luminosity and performance.

Power Source Configuration

Both the X1 and X2 series are designed with an external power source, a feature that helps in efficiently dispersing heat, thereby enhancing the overall power performance. 
This configuration is critical as it contributes to the longevity and performance efficiency of the lights. However, it does require careful attention during installation due to its space requirements.

Cooling Systems

Effective heat management is essential in LED lights for vehicles, affecting both performance and longevity. The X1 series utilizes passive cooling, relying on the lamp body's heat conduction and radiation for temperature management.

On the other hand, the X2 series introduces an innovative fan-based cooling system. It incorporates a fan capable of spinning at an impressive 10,000 rpm, thereby ensuring active heat management. This proactive cooling method significantly extends the lifespan of the bulb, with a promise of up to 50,000 hours of usage.

Base Material

The base material of these lighting series also deserves mention. Both X1 and X2 series utilize a 6063 aluminum base. This material is renowned for its excellent heat dispersion properties, which further aids in heat management, ensuring consistent performance and prolonged lifespan.

Canbus-Ready Design

Both the Xenower X1 and X2 series are 'canbus ready.' This design implies that these lighting systems are compatible with your vehicle's onboard computer system. They can be integrated seamlessly without triggering any error messages, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free installation and usage experience.

Price Range

In terms of price, Xenower X1 is very affordable and budget-friendly, ranging from $39.99 to $69.99 depending on the bulb size. Xenower X2 costs slightly more, from $59.99 up to $109.99. The higher price of Xenower X2 can be justified by its higher power, brightness, advanced LED chips and active cooling system which require more investment. Both series come with external drivers to help with heat dissipation.
If budget is a concern, Xenower X1 offers solid performance enhancements at a more attractive price point for most drivers. However, for those wanting the best brightness and most durable headlight upgrades, the extra dollars for Xenower X2 could be worthwhile.  

X1 vs. X2, Which Should You Choose?

The choice between the SEALIGHT Xenower X1 and X2 series boils down to your specific needs and preferences.
Xenower X2 is the higher-end choice offering superior performance in nearly all aspects including bulb options, power, brightness, cooling system and LED chips. However, Xenower X2 does cost moderately more. 
For budget-conscious consumers wanting solid upgrades, Xenower X1 is an ideal pick with highly affordable and well-rounded improvements over dim halogen bulbs.
The main differences between Xenower X1 and X2 are:

•Xenower X2 has a wider range of bulb size choices including the less common 9012 size, while Xenower X1 supports 5 of the most popular sizes. 

•Xenower X2 produces up to 50% more power at 150W and 42% greater brightness at 20,000 lumens.

•Xenower X2 utilizes more advanced CSP 7035 LED chips for maximum output, whereas Xenower X1 features CSP Y19 LED chips.

•Xenower X2 has an active cooling system with 10,000RPM fans to achieve 50,000 hours lifespan, while Xenower X1 relies on passive cooling at a lower lifespan.

•Xenower X2 costs up to 36% more than Xenower X1 depending on bulb size.

The key similarities are:

•Both Xenower X1 and X2 have external drivers and aluminum bases to aid heat dissipation.

•Both are Canbus ready with built-in decoders to avoid error messages on the dashboard.

•Both produce a cool white light between 6000 to 6500K color temperature.
