The exotic bulbs have higher filement temperatures and shorter lives. When these first came out, they were lasting 2 or 3 months. That in combination of running the lamps at full power at DRLs is a bad combination.
So a basic no-frills bulb that does not burn out, is certainly brighter than an exotic bulb that has failed.
These lamps seem to have improved, but the higher temps will still shorten their life span. And perhaps they have a number that will fail very early as well.
