The benefits of xenon lamp Xenon lamp luminescence principle


Xenon lamp is a kind of lamp. Perhaps many people are unfamiliar with this name. It is generally used for outdoor lighting or car lighting. Generally, these lamps are not used indoors. So what are the benefits of xenon lamps? What is the principle of xenon lamp lighting? Let’s take a look at Benwei lighting.

The benefits of xenon lamps:

1. According to the regulations of the automobile industry, the xenon headlights of the lighting system can only be installed on the low beam headlights, and the high beam headlights are not suitable or allowed to install xenon lamps. This is also the safety point of protecting the car xenon lamp system and the driver. of.


2. The brightness of xenon lamps is much brighter than common halogen headlights and ordinary vacuum bulbs. An ordinary xenon bulb is 35W, and the brightness it produces is 3 times that of halogen lamps, so xenon headlights are better than other car lights. Illuminate higher, wider, and farther. Can greatly reduce night driving accidents.


3. The color temperature of xenon headlights is high, and the color temperature is a physical quantity that measures the degree of natural light of the light. The higher the color temperature, the closer the color brightness of the light is to natural sunlight. General xenon headlights can produce light with a color temperature of 4000-12000, which is close to the color of noon daylight, and the human eye has the highest acceptance and comfort. I saw it most clearly at night.


4. Xenon headlights have a particularly long life. They use electrons to excite gas and emit light. There is no tungsten wire, so they have a long life. Generally qualified xenon headlights have a lifespan of more than 3000 hours. The car can be used for 8-10 years.


5. Xenon headlights consume less power than traditional vacuum or halogen headlights. Its power is generally only 35 W, while the power of ordinary halogen headlights or vacuum headlights is generally 55 W or 60W.


6. The emergency performance of the xenon headlights is better than ordinary ones. When the power system actually has a power failure, the xenon headlights will be prolonged for a few seconds before going out, which can reserve a few seconds for the driver to deal with the emergency. Can greatly reduce night driving accidents.

Principle of xenon lamp luminescence:

Xenon lamp (High intensity Discharge) refers to a high-pressure gas discharge lamp that is filled with a mixture of inert gases including xenon and does not have the filament of a halogen lamp, referred to as HID xenon lamp, which can be called a metal halide lamp Or xenon lamps, divided into xenon lamps for automobiles and xenon lamps for outdoor lighting.


The principle of the xenon lamp is to fill the UV-cut anti-ultraviolet crystal quartz glass tube with a variety of chemical gases, most of which are xenon and iodide, and then pass the ballast to the car. The upper 12 volt DC voltage is instantly pressurized to a voltage of 23,000 volts, and the xenon electrons in the quartz tube are excited to dissociate through the high-voltage amplitude, and a light source is generated between the two electrodes. This is the so-called gas discharge. The white super-strong arc light produced by xenon gas can increase the color temperature of the light. It is similar to the sun's rays in daylight. The current required for HID operation is only 3.5A, the brightness is three times that of traditional halogen bulbs, and the service life is longer than traditional The halogen bulb is 10 times longer.


Xenon lamps are also called HID gas discharge headlamps in the field of automotive lamps. It replaces traditional tungsten filaments with high-pressure xenon gas wrapped in a quartz tube to provide higher color temperature and more concentrated lighting. Because the xenon lamp uses a high-voltage current to activate the xenon gas to form an arc light, it can continue to discharge and emit light between the two electrodes. The power of an ordinary car tungsten bulb reaches 55 watts, while the xenon lamp only needs 35 watts, which is reduced by nearly one and a half. Xenon lamps can significantly reduce the burden on the vehicle's electrical system. The color temperature of car xenon lamps is between 4000K and 6000K, which is much higher than that of ordinary car headlight bulbs. It has high brightness. The light color of the 4300K xenon lamp is white and yellowish. Due to the lower color temperature, the visual effect is yellowish, and the light penetration is stronger than the high color temperature lamp, which can improve the driving safety at night and in heavy fog.


It was first used in air transportation. There are two types of xenon lamps that are widely used in the market, one is automotive lighting and the other is motorcycle lighting. However, it has been used in automobiles in large quantities for more than ten years, and it was developed by HELLA in the early 1990s. Xenon lamps are more expensive than ordinary halogen lamps and incandescent lamps due to their high technical content.
