Bi-Xenon Lamp
The light source consists of a discharge tube surrounded by a glass that filters out harmful UV radiation.
- The discharge tube is filled with a blend of chemical compounds, including the inert gas Xenon.
- An electric arch is created through an electrical discharge between two tungsten electrodes.
- Because the lamp does not have a filament, it is less sensitive to bumps and vibrations.
- Bulb designation:D1S (For S60 (11-) and V60, D3S is used.) .
- Power consumption: 35 W.
CAUTION:
The Bi-Xenon bulb contains mercury (less than 0.5 mg), thus classifying it as hazardous waste. Hazardous waste must be handled in accordance with national legislation. See also Volvo Car Corporation's "Waste Management Guidelines for Dealers. "
