What is HID
HID, High Intensity Discharge, refers to lighting technology that
relies on an electrical charge to ignite xenon gas in a sealed bulb,
similar to the lightning phenomenon in the sky. HID lighting does not
have a filament but instead creates light by igniting an electrical
discharge between two electrodes in an air tight tiny quartz capsule
filled with xenon gas. HID lighting are also called Xenon lighting,
referring to the gas inside the bulb.
HID vs. Halogen Tech.
HID
lighting improves durability by 10 times as road vibrations can cause
damage to halogen filament, but there is nothing to break inside HID
bulb. These light sources also produce a blue-white light that is safer
because it is closer to natural daylight. The color temperature is more
than 5000K compared to 2300K for halogen. The light output from a 35W
HID Xenon lamp is 300% more light than a 55W halogen bulb. The HID
Xenon system will also consume much less power from your vehicles
electrical system and generate much less heat during operation.
HID Advantage
3X Brigther & more consistent illumination of the road, and
increases comfort & reduces fatigue when driving at night Produces
blue-white light that is safer because it is closer to natural daylight
10X Longer Lasting. No need to replace for life of the vehicle 30% less
power consumption, thus generate much less heat during operation
