HyperLux® vs. Standard Lighting: Real-World Test Comparisons

When it comes to permanent outdoor lighting, brightness and color make all the difference in transforming a space. But how do you know which of the outdoor lighting technologies wins out as the best performer?

At BlueHopper, we put our patented HyperLux® powered MR16 bulbs through a series of real-world tests against those of our top competitors’ standard MR16 bulbs. The results speak for themselves.

 

What is Hyperlux® Technology?

What is HyperLux® Technology?

HyperLux® is BlueHopper’s patented technology providing consistent power distribution and optimized driver efficiency. In simple terms, it provides a significantly higher lumen output from the same wattage bulb, with over a million possible color combinations. That’s no power wasted – every watt is optimized for the greatest possible brightness, and the most consistent color.

For comparison, we evaluated:

  • BlueHopper 5W MR16 bulb with HyperLux®
  • Standard competitor 5W MR16 bulb

 

Color Competitor Bulb HyperLux® Bulb
White (All LEDs) 5W 5W
Red, Green, or Blue ~1.25W 5W
Orange, Purple, etc. ~2.5W – 3W 5W
Warm White ~2.5W 5W

 

What do these results mean?

1. Up to 3X Greater Light Output 

For each color measured, Hyperlux Technology optimized the use of nearly all possible energy to produce light. The competing product’s bulb, for instance, used a fraction of its rated wattage to produce colored light that performed at a dimmer and less vivid perception. 

2. Consistent Performance Across the Spectrum 

Whether set to white, green, red, blue, or multi-colored modes, Hyperlux-powered bulbs stayed consistently bright without dips or flicker. Competitor bulbs showed distinct variations, particularly in red and green colorations.

3. No Compromise When All LEDs Are On 

Running full RGBW together was 5W for both bulbs, and with full effect, the HyperLux MR16 produced a brighter, more balanced mix of color, where the bulb seemed diluted in comparison, less vibrant.

Real-World Application Tests

We did not stop at lab measurements. Here’s how HyperLux played out in real-world outdoor situations:

Landscape Lighting

Shrubs, trees, and walkways illuminated by HyperLux looked more lush with greens, and the warm whites looked deeper than those of the competition, which tended to look a little washed out.

Accent & Feature lighting

Statues, signs, and water features that were lit with HyperLux were better-defined, tighter focus beams and a truer colour definition – creating genuine ‘wow’ moments.

Why Does This Matter?

For installers, homeowners, and business owners with commercial space, fewer fixtures save money. This lowers installation costs, simplifies designs, and leaves your spaces looking fabulous – every night.

Experience the Hyperlux® Difference 

Don’t settle for standard when selecting permanent outdoor lighting. Opt for a technology that:

  • Maintains consistent brightness 
  • Maximizes light output
  • Reduces the number of lights needed
