Which is brighter, xenon headlights or LED?
1 Answers
Xenon headlights are brighter than LED headlights. LED lights are semiconductor cold light sources with high luminous efficiency and no heat generation. They have a long lifespan and low manufacturing cost, but it is difficult to increase their power. Xenon headlights use high-pressure gas discharge for illumination, featuring high luminous efficiency, minimal heat generation, higher power, longer lifespan, but with complex structural components and higher manufacturing costs. 1. The full name of xenon headlights is HID (High Intensity Discharge Lamp), which uses 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 car headlight lighting system. 2. Compared to ordinary bulbs, xenon bulbs have two significant advantages: on one hand, xenon bulbs have three times the light intensity of ordinary halogen bulbs while consuming only two-thirds of the energy. On the other hand, xenon bulbs use a light color nearly identical to daylight, creating better visual conditions for drivers. Xenon lighting systems offer a wider illumination range and greater light intensity, significantly improving driving safety and comfort.
