Timely double win for Ring

Automotive lighting and accessory specialist, Ring, has shined in the annual automotive headlamp bulb test carried out by Auto Express, with Ring’s Xenon200 and Xenon150 High Performance headlight bulbs awarded recommendations. 


The test was carried out at Philip’s lighting lab in Aachen, Germany with H7 and H1 bulbs tested. The test has been undertaken for many years and is focused on looking into claims made and the safety of automotive headlight bulbs supplied in Ireland and the UK. The test is typically performed at either OSRAM (Ring’s parent company), Ring or Philips’ facilities.

Ring won the Recommended award for both bulbs, coming second overall in the test. Such a result highlights the company’s credibility and position as a leading automotive bulb brand. 

Managing Director, Andy Gratton, said, “With a trio of Phillips, OSRAM and Ring taking the top three spots it’s no surprise that bulbs manufactured by OE companies are leading the way in performance, compliance and safety.”

Some of the other bulb brands that were tested scored less favourably and in some cases were unrated, due to not complying with all the ECE regulations regarding minimum / maximum light output.

Andy continued, “It was great to see our environmentally friendly packaging mentioned throughout. Over the last 18 months, our group has invested heavily in converting our bulb packaging to plastic free. The Ring range of performance bulbs fully transferred to eco friendly cardboard packaging in 2022 and the OSRAM range transfer started in 2024 and is due to complete by Q1 2025.”
 
Ring bulbs are available from stockist nationwide.
