The GENNSI lamp and similar clones have several advantages over the revzilla LED: - Less expensive ... $50/pair instead of $70 for one.
- Passive heatsink ... runs cooler, so no fan and less noise
- Shorter design ... so you don't have to cut the rear of the headlight to make it fit (if you don't want to).
- Flat low beam cutoff ... to not blind oncoming traffic
- Higher light output ... 4000 lumens, compared to 2800

Detour covered the facts. one of the most important one to me is the low beam cutoff. None of the early LED headlights had that. I tried one similar to the Revzilla one - it had no cutoff, and a dark spot in the middle of the beam! Another vendor told me that his were not DOT approved because of the cutoff.
I read that the recommended bulb is not DOT approved because DOT doesn't have specs for LED bulbs; however the bulbs meet all European requirements.
