Selecting Lamp
Xenon light on his range is as close to daylight. The fact that the human eye sees best in daylight. Nature created man so that his vision was most effective in those conditions in which he lives. Sunlight – the normal conditions under which the eye feels comfortable. If the light is different from the sun, the eye muscles work harder and faster to get tired.
Daylight roughly corresponds to the color temperature 5500K, the maximum temperature is the same halogen lamp – 3200K (deviation from the norm for more than 40%). Normal life xenon lamp about 3000 hours, Halogen – no more than 400 hours. This is due to the fact that the longevity of a xenon lamp is connected directly with the time of "aging" of the gas (which is almost always the order of 3000 hours). Durability is galogenki depends on the filament, which in turn is subjected to mechanical stress (and therefore a Halogen bulbs burn out frequently because of the strong shaking that xenon can be no in principle). How to choose a xenon lamp? Quite recently to carry out the replacement of regular halogen lighting to xenon was very problematic and / or costly operation. It was possible to replace the supplied lamp assembly on the xenon, which is expensive, or redo seat tube in the headlamp under the cap xenon lamp D2S or D2R.Na Today it became possible to convert any halogen lamp under xenon light without alteration seat tube in the headlamp.
This was made possible with the advent of new xenon lamp socket, adapted to the halogen lamp cap H1, H7, H4, HB4, etc. Now the remake of 'halo' to 'Xenon' reduces to the usual replacement of lamps and to install next to the headlamp unit firing. Externally and internally set to an alteration looks just like factory equipment. When Selecting a color temperature xenon lamp to keep in mind that the most optimal for the human eye temperature 5500 K. In addition to aesthetic considerations, it should be noted that the higher the color temperature, the less effective xenon headlights in poor visibility conditions (fog, rain, wet asphalt).
