Philips RacingVision GT200, a top-of-the-line halogen performance bulb in the Philips automotive lighting range, has taken top honours in Auto Express’ bulb mega-test for 2023.  

In awarding the Philips RacingVision GT200 the coveted “Best Buy” status, Auto Express reported that the bulb had scored the highest Figure of Merit (the combined measurement of light at both 50m and 75m on low beam) by some 10% compared to any of its competitors. Auto Express also, for the first time, included price of purchase as a factor in its assessment and concluded that Philips RacingVision GT200 was “a winning combination.”

The Philips RacingVision GT200 delivers the super-bright visibility of a rally bulb in a format drivers can safely and legally use on public roads, with its optimized bulb design offering higher luminance for a better view of the road ahead. With its ultra-performance beam reaching a full 80 meters further than the minimum length], Philips RacingVision GT200 bulbs allow drivers to see more of the road ahead. This helps them to spot potential hazards sooner, react faster, and position their car more accurately on the road. 

The technology behind Philips RacingVision GT200 ensures that it remains at the cutting edge of halogen bulb design. Diamond Precision quartz glass ensures more light output within the regulation limits and guarantees a sharp cut-off line for the beam so as not to dazzle oncoming drivers, a factor that is critical to the overall inherent safety properties of any car headlamp bulb. 

Philips RacingVision GT200 also delivers a brighter sweet spot to give more better light on the road where it counts. In addition, quartz glass also gives greater thermal shock resistance, protecting the bulb's lifespan, while enhanced UV absorption protects the headlight unit of the car itself.

“Auto Express’ tests are the benchmark in the industry and to have awarded Best Buy status for 2023 is further testament to Philips RacingVision GT200’s enduring quality,” says Richard Armstrong, Business Development Manager Automotive – UK and Ireland at Lumileds.
