How Long is the Lifespan of Xenon Lights?
1 Answers
Xenon lights generally have a lifespan of 3,000 hours, which is typically sufficient to last from a car's production to its scrapping. The greatest advantage of xenon headlights is their brightness. The illumination principle of xenon headlights involves a quartz tube filled with xenon gas inside, which is activated by high-voltage current to form an arc lamp. The light emitted by xenon headlights tends to be white and is three times brighter than that of halogen headlights. Xenon headlights consume very little energy. Compared to halogen headlights, xenon headlights use only two-thirds of the energy while providing better illumination, creating superior visual conditions for drivers with greater light intensity, thereby enhancing driving safety and comfort. Xenon headlights are highly energy-efficient, typically consuming only 35W, yet producing more than three times the light output of a 55W halogen lamp. This reduces the load on the car's battery, improves vehicle performance, and saves a portion of the car's energy. The color temperature of xenon headlights ranges from 4,300K to 12,000K, closely resembling daylight brightness. Additionally, xenon headlights use electronic excitation of gas to produce light, meaning there are no tungsten filaments inside the headlights. As a result, xenon headlights have a long usage cycle, and they are unlikely to fail even when the car is used until scrapping.
