Three Misunderstandings of Installing Xenon Lamps[汽车修理知识]

Do you know? Inadequate headlights and dim lighting are also one of the causes of traffic accidents. Statistics show that 60% of car accidents happen at night, and another 22% of traffic accidents happen with unclear vision.No wonder that more and more high-end handlebar xenon headlights andABS, Airbags and other safety measures are equipped together. Ordinary cars can also be equipped with xenon lamps, but many people have misunderstandings about it.

●Misunderstanding 1: Xenon lamp waste electricity

HID uses high-voltage current to activate xenon gas to form an arc light, which continuously discharges light between two electrodes. It only needs 35 watts of current.And ordinaryCar bulbThe power is about 65 watts. HID not only saves electricity, but also reduces the burden on the vehicle's electrical system.

●Misunderstanding 2: Xenon lamp has high price and short lifespan

To activate the xenon gas to form an arc, the voltage of 12 volts needs to be increased to 23000 volts instantly, which requires a set of starters and transformers to cooperate, and the price is naturally more expensive; but it does not use tungsten wire, and there is no concern about oxidation or burnout. , Its life span is 5 times that of ordinary bulbs.

In addition, 90% of the electric energy of the tungsten bulb is converted into heat, and the temperature is as high as 650 degrees Celsius, which may damage the surrounding plastic lamps and increase the cost of the car. The temperature of the HID is only 450 degrees Celsius, and it is protected by a quartz tube, which greatly reduces related losses. .

●Misunderstanding 3: The higher the color temperature of the xenon lamp, the better

The color temperature of HID is 4000K~6000K, its light color is white through blue, and its brightness is much higher than that of ordinary light bulbs. The lighting source of the stadium also uses gas discharge technology, but the higher the color temperature, the better when used in the car. If you use 8000K or 10000K, because the color temperature is too high, the effect of illuminating the road will decrease instead.
