Keep up the misinformation...

Not sure why you'd say that.
The hotter the bulb in free air, the hotter it will also be inside a sealed headlamp.
While EAS's test won't tell the true temperature inside the headlamp, it's stil relevant as to which light source will contribute more heat. It's not like the bulb will magically be cooler inside the headlight assembly...
