RING’S former flagship contained two more Ge-built Alite bulbs. The Xenon130 was recommended in our H7 test, but in H4 form it proved a step behind our top four. At the heart of its problems was the fact that there was a fair difference in performance between the two bulbs. A wide, shallow hot spot put the Ring product behind the best in our overall beam assessment, but the Xenon130 was closer in our three-point formula. It looked a touch darker than the best on the tunnel wall and that impression was proven by its peak brightness result, which was only good enough for sixth place overall.
