What is HID?
HID (High Intensity Discharge) Light is a point light source emitting from a tiny quartz arc tube filled with Xenon gas and a small quantity of metal halide compounds. The light is generated from an electrical discharge between the two electrodes upon ignition by an initial hi - voltage of 23KV. After stabilization, the light is similar to that of daylight under a constant applied voltage.
Advantages and Benefits of HID:
The HID lights are the new generation for lighting in the automotive industry. Compared with conventional halogen lighting (HALGEN), the HID lights are 3 times more luminous and have a longer projection distance. It also features a color temperature that is closer to natural sunlight, making it safer and clearer. The lifespan of the HID lights is more than 5 times longer than that of the conventional lights. The HID was originally used in the high-tech sector such as aero equipment, medical instruments, and military equipment, etc. Nowadays, however, it is being widely used in automotive lighting due to its many advantages compared to the conventional lighting; manufacturers with high safety standards, such as Mercedes Benz, BMW, Lexus, Infinity, and many others, are already including the HID as the standard accessory for many of their models. Due to the advance in the technology involved, the cost of HID lights has dropped, giving the public sector a better alternative to improve its automobile lighting for a safer and more enjoyable drive.
