What does a xenon lamp consist of

Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-01-29

Generally speaking, a xenon lamp is composed of a lamp head (xenon bulb), an electronic ballast (also called a stabilizer, voltage regulator, fire bull, etc.), a wire set control box, etc.

1. Lamp head: After careful observation, you will find that the HID xenon lamp holder has no filament, it uses the current generated between the electrodes to prompt the collision of xenon molecules to produce brightness. There is no problem of tungsten wire burnout in these lamp heads, as they do not have tungsten wire. Therefore, a HID xenon lamp can be called a true xenon lamp. This lamphead uses high-efficiency electronic excitation technology to produce intense brightness, while having a long service life and low energy consumption, making it an efficient and environmentally friendly lighting product.

Second, the program-controlled stabilizer: the use of the 12V DC voltage of the battery, after a series of conversion, control, protection, boost, frequency conversion and other actions, a moment of 23000V ignition high voltage is generated to ignite the lamp head, and then maintain 85V AC voltage after lighting, the starting current is about 8A, and the working current is about 4A. Like a wise conductor, the most intelligent electronic ballast launched on the market in 2013 is the "programmable ballast", which uses modern computer technology to implant a specific program into the chip to control the circuit, so that it can complete the detection, calculation and automatic matching of xenon lamps, so that the combination between the two can achieve the best working performance.

Third, the wire group: generally made of flame retardant materials, by increasing the cross-sectional area of the power cord, improve the current passing capacity, so as to ensure the normal operation of HID xenon lamp. Some Xenon lamps of the H4 model will be equipped with a relay line set for operation control. These xenon lamps act as bright eyes, providing the driver with a clearer and safer view when driving at night.

The models of xenon lamps are mainly divided into three series according to the different bulbs: 900 series, H series and D series. Among them, the D series is usually the lens series. These xenon lamp models are like bright pearls, each with its own unique characteristics and uses. The 900 Series is suitable for some traditional models, offering a soft and clear light for those who are looking for a retro style. The H-Series is more suitable for modern cars, as they provide brighter, more concentrated light, making it safer for drivers to drive at night. The D series is specially designed for the lens series, through the focusing effect of the lens, the light is more concentrated, illuminating the road ahead. Regardless of the model of xenon lamps, they are providing the driver with a safer and more comfortable driving experience. The brands we usually come across are:(Loud, Che Da Zhuang, Philips HID) and so on.

One,The color temperature of xenon lamps ranges from 3000K to 12000K, of which 6000K has a color temperature similar to sunlight, but contains more green and blue components, so it appears blue-white light. This blue-white light dramatically increases the brightness of road signs and signs.

II,The brightness efficiency of HID is three times higher than that of halogen lamps, and it has a significant effect on improving the clarity of vision when driving at night and in fog.

3. The luminous flux emitted by xenon lamps is more than 2 times that of halogen lamps, and the efficiency of converting electrical energy into light energy is also more than 70% higher than that of halogen lamps, so xenon lamps have relatively high energy density and light intensity. The increased brightness of the car's lights also effectively expands the visual range in front of the car, thus creating safer driving conditions.

Four,Power saving1 2, halogen lamps consume more than 60W of electricity, xenon lamps only need 35W of power.

Five,Since xenon lamps do not have filaments, they do not have the problem of being scrapped due to broken filaments and have a much longer service life than halogen lamps, which are equivalent to the entire operating time of the average life of a car.

SixOnce the xenon lamp fails, it will not be extinguished instantly, but will be gradually dimmed (or quickly lit), so that the driver can buy time in the dark and pull over urgently.

1. The light bulb and the lamp cup are not properly matched.

2. The installation is not in place or the debugging is not good.
