There is an increase in the popularity of HID lights. Still, maybe you don't fully understand what it is. Well, here are some things that ever car owner should know about HID lights and you must first know why it's better than halogen light.
Today, more and more people are realizing just how important safety is and they are willing to take steps for extra precaution. This is especially true for drivers who are constantly on the road because they are responsible for the life of their passengers. No driver is safe from an accident. That is why many are switching to HID lights. It is one of the best and most effective ways to make sure that you will be safe on the road.
HID lights is not very different from lightning. It uses an electrical discharge to fire up gas known as xenon in every sealed bulb. It has no filament but it causes the bulb to light by igniting 2 electrodes using an electrical discharge. This must occur in a container with xenon and no other gas. Hence, HID lighting is also referred to as the xenon lighting since it will never work without that specific gas.
Brightness is the deferring factor between HID and halogen. HID is brighter by 300% than halogen and this is comparing only the 35W HID light bulb to the 55W halogen bulb. With color temperature, HID is much higher than halogen. In addition,HID replicates the color of natural light. This does wonders with visibility on the road. HID lasts longer than halogen bulbs because it can withstand up to 10 times more road vibrations.
Light temperature doesn't equate to brightness. People are misled into thinking that the hotter light is the brighter light. The truth is that temperature and luminosity are 2 different things. It has more to do with its color than its brightness really. A 3000K light bulb emits a yellow color while a 4300K emits white. 6000K HID lights emit light blue light which is unlike 8000K which emits blue and the 10000K that emits a deep blue color. Despite the differences in the color, you can be assured that in terms of brightness, all the temperatures are 300 percent brighter than the halogen headlights that your car comes with.
Considering the many benefits of using HID lights, it is not at all surprising that a many car owners are making the switch and getting rid of their halogen bulbs. Its easy to install. Professionals aren't needed because you can do it yourself.
Those are the info you need to know about HID lights. Are you ready to make the switch?
