Xenon Headlamp

Xenon type lamps are used for to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead, they produce light when a high voltage current is passed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture of xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to strong lighting power, electronic control of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color.

Followings are some advantages of the xenon type headlamp.

• The light produced by the headlamps is white color similar to sunlight that is easy to the eyes.
• Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.
• Counter-reflected luminance increases and the contrast enhances on the wet road in the rain. That makes visibility go up more than the increase of the light volume.
• Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
