What is the appropriate color temperature for headlights?
1 Answers
The color temperature should be between 3500K and 5000K, with 4300K generally providing the best lighting effect. If the color temperature is too high, the light will appear bluish (or even purplish at higher levels). Such color temperatures have poor penetration in hazy weather conditions, which can easily lead to safety issues. Here is an introduction to automotive xenon headlights: 1. The full name of xenon headlights is HID (High Intensity Discharge Lamp). They use a matching electronic ballast to instantly boost the car battery's 12V voltage to a triggering voltage of over 23KV, ionizing the xenon gas in the headlight to form an arc discharge and maintain stable illumination, providing a stable automotive headlight system. 2. Xenon lamps break away from the tungsten filament lighting principle invented by Edison. They are filled with high-pressure inert gas—Xenon—inside a quartz tube, replacing the traditional filament. Mercury and carbon compounds are present at the two electrodes, and the xenon gas is stimulated to emit light by a 23,000-volt high-voltage current through the ballast, creating a perfect white arc between the electrodes. The light emitted closely resembles nearly perfect sunlight.
