Xenon lamp and halogen

Xenon lamp and halogen What's the difference

Xenon lamp life of a very long while, but because it is not work independently, so the quality is good or bad ballast is directly related to the length of the life of the entire system. The poor quality of ballast on the market, not only can not guarantee the same with the xenon bulb life will be at work produced a strong electromagnetic interference, affecting the work of the car radio. Xenon bulbs though rarely bad, but because of its internal rechargeable up to six atmospheres of pressure xenon gas and a certain amount of mercury and metal halide, in case of burst or leak is not only pollute the environment, but also may hurt, hurt car.

And ordinary vehicle 12-volt operating voltage halogen different from relying on high-pressure xenon arc-discharge lamp is to light, so light xenon lamp needs of the start voltage of 23000 volts, which would require additional equipment beyond the bulb to start electronic control unit , commonly known as stabilizer. (The latest Ballast xenon lamp system has been integrated into the holder, the one with the light bulb.) Lamp ballast, as a separate component outside, on the whole the reliability of xenon lamps have a major impact, in addition, as a stabilizer high-voltage electrical installations, the safety of their own is also very important.

Because xenon arc lamps rely on light, while the shape of the arc itself will be slightly curved shape with the halogen filament neat compared to xenon lamp in the design of the lamp will be different. As the shape of bending, the original location and the focus of halogen lamps can not fully meet the xenon arc lamps, xenon bulb, it only modification is not a corresponding replacement of lamps, the end result is not satisfactory.
