Xenon Light Bulbs

Invented in 1898 for the first time by Philips, xenon lights gain popularity in the USA, Europe, Japan and South Korea. In 1992 started their mass usage in the automotive industry. But why they acquire such popularity we will find out in the article below.

Why to choose xenon light bulbs?

Unlike ordinary incandescent light bulbs, this type are distinguished primarily by 40% less power consumption, but the most popular reason for choosing to use these components lies in the light they re-create. It resembles the sunlight which is a huge advantage at night because it improves visibility. On the other hand, the driver's eyes do not get tired from the glare and that makes traveling more convenient. Furthermore, these lamps have good reflective properties and using them the driver gets an extended driving area. But there are also other reasons to make a choice in favor of the xenon bulbs.

Yes, these components have a five times longer life than the conventional halogen bulbs. That is about 2800-4000 hours. This is due to the fact that the operating principle is very different from that of the incandescent light bulbs. For the generation of light a special inert gas contained in the glass hull of the body is used and two electrodes between which an electric arc is formed, causing the gas to flash.

Do the xenon bulbs release much heat?

Heat release depends on power consumption, but in this case it is much less than in similar conventional products. Consumption is approximately 35W, which is about 7 percent heating energy. In the conventional version, consumption is about 55W and the heating energy is 40%. However, let's understand the most important thing...

Do they blind the oncoming vehicles?

If the slope of the headlights is well adjusted, the oncoming vehicles should not be blinded.

Here the color temperature of the glow is also very important. It can range from 3000K to 6000K (Kelvin). In fact, the reproduced color depends on the temperature. Some colors dazzle more than others, and some are even pleasing to the eye, so there is no single answer.
