Successful Philips RacingVision GT200 and WhiteVision ultra Halogen Headlight Bulbs Now Available for Motorcycles

Ride at night with confidence and comfort

Suresnes, France – March 15th, 2023 – As one of the most vulnerable road users, it is vital that motorbike riders can see and be seen – especially at night or in low light conditions. To increase confidence and comfort on the road, Lumileds has extended two Philips halogen headlight ranges for cars to motorbikes and motorcycles. Multi-award-winning Philips RacingVision GT200[1] bulbs deliver up to 200% brighter light[2] so riders can see more of the road ahead and the sharp irresistible look of the Philips WhiteVision ultra bulbs instantly upgrade a motorcycle’s style.

Philips RacingVision GT200 moto: brighter by design

The Philips RacingVision GT200 is our best-performing halogen range for 12V vehicles and is now available for 2-wheelers. It delivers the super-bright visibility of a rally bulb in a format riders can use on public roads. The optimized design of our bulb provides higher luminance for a better view of the road ahead, giving riders a safer, more exciting drive.

Our patented gradient and innovative screen-print coating techniques enable the Philips RacingVision GT200 bulbs to project up to 200% brighter light on the road, improving visibility in night-time driving conditions. This superior light performance enhances visibility so a rider can spot hazards, and it makes it easier for other road users to see the motorcycle.

Production techniques for Philips Diamond Silk quartz glass ensure a sharp cut-off line and a brighter sweet spot, giving riders more brightness on the road. Quartz glass gives greater resistance to thermal shocks and protects the bulb’s lifespan.Enhanced UV absorption protects modern plastic optics from harmful UV rays.

Philips RacingVision GT200 moto H7 and H4 bulb types are fully ECE certified for public roads and compatible with motorcycle models of major brands.

Philips WhiteVision ultra moto: a winning combination of style and visibility

Philips WhiteVision ultra moto headlight bulbs, feature an innovative coating formula and deliver stunning 4200 Kelvin[3] light. They are designed for drivers and riders who want to upgrade their vehicle’s halogen lighting with style and appearance that looks more like LED technology.

Thanks to the advanced coating formula on the glass, Philips WhiteVision ultra moto bulbs are our whitest road-legal halogen lights providing a stunning look in the headlamp’s reflector. Riders enjoy a vibrant look and a 100% street-legal bulb compliant with relevant regulations. Perhaps best of all, riders get great visibility without dazzling oncoming drivers and compromising safety. Philips WhiteVision ultra moto headlight bulbs set a new standard for road-legal halogen white light.

The longer beam pattern of the Philips WhiteVision ultra moto, with up to 60% more vision, enables riders to see up to 60% further down the road and be better seen by other road users. This improves safety and gives riders more time to react to potential hazards on the road ahead.

The Philips WhiteVision ultra moto range is available in H4, H7, and HS1 bulb types. It is fully ECE certified for public roads and compatible with motorcycle models of major brands.
