Why do xenon headlights become less bright after prolonged use?
1 Answers
Air has entered the headlight or the headlight has aged. Below is relevant information about xenon headlights: 1. Introduction: Xenon headlights (High-intensity-Discharge-Lamp) are high-pressure gas discharge lamps filled with a mixture of inert gases including xenon, without the filament found in halogen lamps (halogen-lamp). They are also referred to as HID xenon headlights, metal halide lamps, or xenon lamps, and are categorized into automotive xenon headlights and outdoor lighting xenon headlights. 2. Advantages: The color temperature of automotive xenon headlights ranges between 4000K and 6000K, significantly higher than that of standard headlight bulbs. Xenon headlights are exceptionally bright; those with a 4300K color temperature emit a white light with a yellowish tint. Due to the lower color temperature, the visual effect is slightly yellowish, but the light penetration is stronger than that of higher color temperature lamps, enhancing driving safety during nighttime and foggy conditions.
