I took Red 5 out for a night run and gave the new LED a good road test in my 2015.5 reflector. I ran it on city roads with streetlights and unlit rural roads with a few blind curves.
The light is more obviously blue reflecting off road signs than it was in my parking lot. In terms of color temp, I prefer a 5000K white light over this 6000K, but I'm not complaining. I'm just glad it's not any bluer.
The low beam provides excellent light to both sides of the road, actually better than the high beam. The cutoff works well but offers enough light bleed to light up the signs and road markers in the distance.
The high beam provides even better distance lighting and good side lighting, but not as good as the low beam. I'm still pleased with it and I think a pair spotlight LEDs will do a great job lighting the roadside, when the high beam is on.
IMO, if you have a 2015.5 reflector, there's no question that the GENSSI will be an excellent LED for you. If you have a 2015 reflector, it will probably be an upgrade for you. But the 2015.5 reflector is so much better, you should consider purchasing one from CSC for $120. I'm so glad I did. I would not go back.
