Total visible light a bulb emits — independent of direction or focus. A 9,000-lumen bulb in a bad housing is still a bad headlight.
Intensity in one direction. What actually lights up the road. Beam-pattern engineering decides where the candela land.
3000K = selective yellow (fog). 5000K = neutral white. 6500K = daylight. Above 6500K = blue, useless.
The bus the car uses to detect bulb failure. Onboard CAN-bus drivers fake the load — no resistors, no flicker.
European regulation for asymmetric low-beam cutoff. Defines how sharply the beam falls off above horizontal.
Ingress protection. IP67 = dust-tight, immersion to 1m. What you want forward of the firewall.
