Morimoto H8/H9/H11 3.0

Product Details

Performance Benchmark:

Throughout the past year, Morimoto dedicated significant effort to the development of an innovative LED bulb, the culmination of which is the groundbreaking 2Stroke 3.0. This cutting-edge bulb ingeniously replicates your vehicle's original beam pattern through an efficiency-driven approach. This means more illumination for you as the driver, while minimising glare for oncoming traffic, thus outclassing any other LED bulb currently available in the market. While it's important to note that LED bulbs are still pending DOT approval for headlight use in the United States, international markets and fog light users can now revel in the finest plug-and-play LED solution to date. The 2Stroke 3.0 proudly boasts pending patents, solidifying its uniqueness.

Unrivalled Beam Excellence:

At the heart of the 2Stroke 3.0 lies a revolutionary PCB technology that establishes a groundbreaking industry standard: an emission surface interval of a mere 2mm. Impressively, the core PCB itself measures a mere 1.0mm in thickness. Within this composition, the dielectric layer is a slender 300um, the circuit pattern a delicate 140um, and each Osram Oslon HKL351.TE LED chip is a minuscule 0.43mm. Accompanied by the 1.03 x 4.33mm light-emitting surface of the LEDs, this amalgamation results in a combined cubic volume of a mere 4.46mm. The Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0 unequivocally stands alone in its ability to flawlessly mimic the filament dimensions of an incandescent bulb, a crucial factor in achieving optimal beam distribution.

Innovative H11 Tension Spring:

A distinguishing feature of the H11/H9 variation of the 2Stroke 3.0 is its unique bulb base, crafted with an OE-standard tension spring. This pioneering design exerts a precise 5nm downward force on the bulb base, ensuring impeccable seating that impeccably aligns with the needs of optics. The production of such intricate components required substantial investment in specialised tooling, an uncommon commitment that showcases Morimoto's unparalleled dedication to excellence.

Optimised Focal Precision:

Every variant within the 2Stroke 3.0 lineup has undergone meticulous optimisation to guarantee optimal output performance within its designated application. A critical reference distance has been calculated based on the geometrical attributes of the bulb base and the footprint of the Osram HKL emitter. Maintaining unwavering consistency, purpose-built tools have been implemented to rigorously assess the accuracy of each bulb during the production process. Unlike other LED fog light bulbs on the market, the 2Stroke 3.0 defies convention by eschewing a universal reference distance across all sizes in the series.

Adaptable 360-Degree Rotation:

A striking feature of the 2Stroke 3.0 LED bulbs is their remarkably versatile base. To harness the full potential of the optical facets within any reflector or projector, the LED diodes must be oriented at the 3-o-clock and 9-o-clock positions. Given the absence of a universal standard across various headlight and fog light configurations, every bulb in the 2Stroke 3.0 range boasts full adjustability. Each bulb, whether twist-to-lock or press-fit, incorporates a geared step rotational adjuster mechanism, facilitating adjustments in 15-degree increments.

Innovative Thermal Regulation:

Once installed, the 2Stroke 3.0 bulb features an enclosed high-speed fan, setting a precedent as the pioneering actively cooled LED bulb with a fan impervious to external elements. The ingenious internal circulation cooling system employs a 12,000-rpm cyclone fan that draws cool air into the bulb's body while expelling warmed air back into the housing. Cold air enters past the PCB sidewall, effectively dissipating heat, and exits from the opposing side, creating a dual benefit: cooling the bulb while elevating the ambient temperature within the housing. This novel cooling strategy not only safeguards the bulb's longevity but also minimises snow and ice accumulation on the lens during winter. This unique feature, covered by US Patent #11079090, is unmatched in its capacity to thrive in inclement conditions.

DRL Drive Innovation:

The LED Driver embedded within the system is meticulously calibrated to accommodate a wide input voltage range, rendering it compatible with the low voltage systems of contemporary vehicles' daytime running lights. When the LED driver detects an input ranging from 6V to 9V, the system logic seamlessly transitions to a 30% standard output. Operating at a low power drive rate of 250mA, each emitter yields 460lm, effectively rendering the 2Stroke 3.0 a fitting solution for daytime running lights. In this mode, the cooling fan is disengaged to conserve power and extend the bulb's lifespan. For vehicles equipped with a PWM-based DRL signal, an inline PWM module producing a clean DC6V signal is essential. Notably, the driver is hermetically potted, ensuring weather resilience. The DRL-Drive function is tailored exclusively for non-US markets.
