I have used the 64205 on recommendation from this Forum and recently the high beam went out on one side after a few years [!] of great use . These Osrams are different in brightness, in terms of more light rather than increased candela at some tiny spots in the Beam ... Manufacturers should stop being able to use "hotspots " in the beam synonomously with overall brightness- 99.75437% [ lol ] of Consumers don't get how they measure brightness.
Are the Narva +50 similar to the discontinued 64205 ?
The 64205 looks less yellow possibly an illusion from the brightness or possibly the Tungsten is actually hotter , I think my Alternator is 13.5 or 13.8 Volts and you can see a definite color difference at 12 volts (battery ) to Alternator Voltage [with engine on].
Interestingly - the Narva Range Power +110 Info says for that Bulb ' we used a different burner for more lumens' .I am trying to attach the info sheet . There is a little blue on the glass of the +110 - I care more about Lumens than color although I do like the added whiteness from driving a Bulb higher. If it the +110 is a different burner for more lumens AND a higher Candela in some spots and there are enough spots to affect the throw...a bonus.
I want another bulb with about 1400 to 1500 lumens on low beam and about 1900 to 2100 wild guessing what the Osram 64205 gives me.
I have also noticed an H4 listed at 12 volts 67 and 60 watts on high and low beams respectively which might be about 65 and 75 or a bit more at 13.2 13.5 volts ? BUT this may be an error on the chart and they may be assuming 13.2 volts - though the chart says 12.....
