What is the Suitable Color Temperature for Car Headlights?

[OKatherine]

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, 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 reliable car headlight lighting system. 2. Xenon lamps break away from the tungsten filament lighting principle invented by Edison. Instead of traditional filaments, they are filled with high-pressure inert gas—Xenon—inside quartz tubes. Mercury and carbon compounds are present at the two electrodes, and through the ballast, a 23,000-volt high-voltage current stimulates the xenon gas to emit light, forming a perfect white arc between the electrodes that closely resembles natural sunlight.
