Is the high beam of Audi A6 C5 a xenon lamp?

[DelNathan]

Audi A6 C5's high beam is a xenon lamp. Xenon lamps are high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps. Xenon lamps are metal halide lamps that fill the anti-ultraviolet crystal quartz glass tube with various chemical gases, such as inert gases like xenon, and then use a booster to instantly increase the vehicle's 12-volt power supply to 23,000 volts. Under high voltage, xenon gas is ionized and produces a light source between the two poles of the power supply. Characteristics of xenon lamps: Xenon bulbs have a light intensity three times higher than ordinary halogen bulbs, while consuming only two-thirds of the energy. Xenon bulbs use a light color nearly identical to daylight, creating better visual conditions for drivers. Xenon lighting provides a wider range of illumination and greater light intensity, significantly improving driving safety and comfort. Energy-saving features of xenon lamps: Xenon lamps are highly energy-efficient, consuming only 35W while emitting more than 3.5 times the light of a 55W halogen lamp. This greatly reduces the load on the vehicle's electrical system, saves 40% of power loss, correspondingly improves vehicle performance, and conserves energy.
