How Many Lumens for Car Headlights?

[AlainaFitz]

Halogen low beams are around 1000 lumens, while high beams are about 1200 lumens. Xenon HID lights have a maximum of 3200 lumens, with the actual output typically exceeding 2000 lumens. Below is relevant information: 1. The difference between the two: Unlike traditional halogen lamps, automotive HID xenon lights are high-intensity discharge lamps. Their illumination principle involves using positive and negative electrical charges to stimulate a chemical reaction between xenon gas and rare metals to produce light. Therefore, the lamp contains a small glass bulb filled with xenon gas and trace amounts of rare metals. When electrically stimulated to undergo a chemical reaction, they emit light with a color temperature ranging from 4000K to 12000K. 2. Energy efficiency: Xenon lamps consume only 35W of power but produce over 3.5 times the light output of a 55W halogen lamp. This significantly reduces the load on the vehicle's electrical system, saving 40% in power consumption, thereby improving vehicle performance and conserving energy.
