How to Determine if a Xenon Light is Burned Out?
1 Answers
When a xenon light is in good condition, the bulb color is transparent; if it is burned out, it appears milky white or gray. Below is an introduction to xenon lights: 1. Overview: A xenon light (High-intensity-Discharge-Lamp) refers to a high-pressure gas discharge lamp filled with a mixture of inert gases, including xenon, and lacks the filament found in halogen lamps (halogen-lamp). It is also known as a metal halide lamp or xenon light, categorized into automotive xenon lights and outdoor lighting xenon lights. 2. Principle of Illumination: The illumination principle of a xenon light involves filling a UV-cut anti-ultraviolet crystal quartz glass tube with various chemical gases, primarily xenon (Xenon) and iodides. A ballast then instantly boosts the vehicle's 12-volt DC voltage to 23,000 volts, creating a high-voltage amplitude that excites the xenon gas electrons inside the quartz tube, generating a light source between the two electrodes. This process is known as gas discharge. The intense white arc light produced by xenon increases the color temperature of the light, resembling the brightness of daylight. The current required for HID operation is only 3.5A, with a brightness three times that of traditional halogen bulbs and a lifespan ten times longer.
