Car Lighting

Posted: Saturday, May 23, 2009

As with the different types of lighting technology available for the homes such as the incandescent and fluorescent technology, car lighting has its own set of technology that is not necessarily uniquely used in cars but proves to be very efficient in car lamps. The three major light technologies widely used today are that of LED (Light Emitting Diode), Halogen, and HID (High Intensity Discharge) /Xenon lamps.

Today, the most popular lighting technology in use is that of the HID/Xenon lamps for car headlights. HID lamps rely on an electrical charge that ignites gas in a closely sealed envelope. HID does not require a filament to create light; instead it ignites an electrical discharge between two electrodes in a tiny capsule that contains gas. HID is called Xenon lighting since the gas that is present in the tiny capsule is Xenon.

HID is preferred over Halogen lamps in that it is a very durable type of lighting since road vibrations tend to damage the filament in a halogen lamp. Apart from this, the color emitted by HID lamps closely resembles that of daylight making it brighter than halogen lamps.

Next in line is the Light Emitting Diode (LED). Mostly, LED lighting is used for decorative purposes in cars since they come in different colors and are not as bright as HID/Halogen Lamps. Often used for brake lights, signal lights and sometimes as tail lights, LED lamps have low power consumption and may last for the lifetime of the car. As a totality, LED lamps are indeed a wonderful addition to your car accessories.

Last but not least is the Halogen lamp. Before Xenon was introduced in the market, the Halogen lamp was widely used and largely preferred by the buying market. Comparing the typical halogen lamp to an incandescent lamp will show you that indeed halogen is more efficient and gives a brighter output than an incandescent bulb. In car lighting technologies, halogen is a popular choice since it is relatively cheaper than HID lighting.

All we can do now is wait and see for future modern lighting technology.

A. Bring Your Car Lighting to Another Level
High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting is a technology that offers your car more light output, whiter light and longer service life. HID is installed using HID kits which are sometimes called conversion kits or xenon kits. With this product car owners can feel a brand new experience in their car lighting because HID assure users of three times brighter light, clearer road images and greater efficiency. With the HID technology, car owners can save more energy because this lighting technology only consumes its needed power so there will be no waste in power and battery.

Another feature of this HID is that it does not use filaments like ordinary bulbs do instead they create light by bridging an arc between two electrodes similar to the energy transfer that creates lightning. This is a very smart development created to solve numerous lighting problems by car owners.

If everyone will use this kind of lighting for their cars then they will be assured that it will last longer and will have longer life because it is beyond the ordinary and the technology it uses is not like that of ordinary bulbs. Then if better lighting is attained there will be fewer accidents on the streets and people will be encouraged to own cars even if they still fear having one.
And who know maybe this technology cannot be only developed for cars but for other purposes as well and creators of these might just spark the most magnificent science breakthrough.

A friend of mine has already tried this technology and he was happy with the results. He confessed that he had clearer vision of the road. He also said that he is not anymore changing his lights once in a while because it is really long lasting unlike any other bulbs.

I guess many car owners would want to experience the similar feeling of my good friend. Well that would not be far from happening because these HID lights are very much available in car parts and accessories' store. It can be your best partner and accomplice in your night getaway.

B. Police Car Lights
Police Car Lights are prepared using modern technology and these are usually set up in the cars. Different colors of these lights are testimony to this fact that one can use particular light in particular situation.

Police Car Lights are positioned at the top of vehicle so that people can recognize these lights even from far away place.

Police car lights are very helpful in eradicating crime as thieves do not indulge in anti social activities when they notice these lights.

Police Car Lights come in different colors and in different intensities; following is the possible list of these lights:

  1. Emergency Light Bar: This light comes in amber, red and others colors and the intensity of this light is strong. The total weight of this light is 14.30 kg and power of the light is 72w.
  2. Police Car Light Lightbar: The power of this light is 1300w and the weight of the light is 20.5kg. This light uses aluminum base and the dimension of the light is 1060 X 460 X 206mm.
  3. Light Bar: In the designing of this light 4 bidirectional rotators are made use of. The light has double direction reflector and intensity of the light is also very good.
  4. LED Light Bar-TBD-90L14A-48: The dimension of the light is 1214X 296 X 195mm, comes in red and amber color. The power of the light is 40w and the weight of the light is 11.2kg.
  5. Rotating Light Bar-GOR4A-48: The lampshade of this light is made up of qualitative polycarbonate stuff.
  6. Emergency Light Bar-VOS7A-46 Series: The base of this light is made up of qualitative aluminum.
  7. Police Vehicle Light Bar: This light comes in different sizes and one can pick particular size as per the requirement.
  8. Warning Light: The weight of this light is 880kg and intensity of the light is strong.
  9. LED Dolphin-Shape light Bar: The light uses Aluminum base and in the construction of this light qualitative material is used.
  10. LED Direction-Guide Signal Light (Panel): The dimension of this light is 1580 X 600 X 900mm and the light uses steel base plate.
