The Cool Blue Intense is Osram's halogen motorcycle bulb for riders who want a whiter, more modern light pattern. Its light reaches a colour temperature of up to 5,000 Kelvin, measured in the headlight. The higher that value, the whiter the light. The result closely resembles the cool light of an LED headlight, but it remains an ordinary halogen bulb. According to Osram, compared with the legal minimum standard, it also gives up to 100 per cent more light. The white, high-contrast light comes close to daylight, which, according to Osram, is less tiring for your eyes.
In most bulb types, the Cool Blue Intense has a silver-coloured cap at the top. Behind a headlight with clear glass, this looks sleek and modern. Because it is a halogen bulb with European ECE approval, you can fit it in your existing headlight without any modifications. Simply choose the same bulb type as the motorcycle bulb you are replacing.
If the original light pattern is sufficient, the Original Line is the simplest choice. If you are mainly after as much light as possible further down the road, take a look at the Night Breaker Laser.
A tip from the RAD house
Never touch the glass of your new motorcycle bulb with your bare fingers. Grease on the glass causes hot spots, which make the motorcycle bulb burn out sooner. If your motorcycle has two headlights, it is best to replace the motorcycle bulbs together, so they shine equally brightly.
Osram Motorcycle Bulbs
Osram has been a byword in vehicle lighting for more than 110 years. The German brand supplies bulbs directly to the major car manufacturers: according to Osram, half of all new passenger cars worldwide roll off the production line with Osram bulbs every year. In 1925, Osram also launched the Bilux bulb, the first bulb with two filaments for dipped beam and main beam in a single light source. That principle can still be found today in the headlight of countless motorcycles.
The motorcycle bulbs you buy separately come from the same production lines and follow the same quality control as the bulbs for car manufacturers. As a result, they comfortably exceed the European ECE minimum requirements.
Precisely because Osram is so well known, many counterfeit versions of its motorcycle bulbs are in circulation. Not only are these less durable, they can also blind or give too little light. At RAD, you only buy genuine Osram motorcycle bulbs.
