How does it work?

photo showing the difference in a halogen lamp and a hid lamp

Xenon light is based on the gas discharge principle , where an arc of light is created between two electrodes in a glass tube filled with metal salts and inert gases.(This is not to be confused with many manufacturers who call their halogen lamps Xenon).

Xenon light offers..........

Two to three times more light for half of the energy consumption.

Doubling or trebling of the headlamp luminance enabling smaller or more variable headlamp designs.

Low levels of infra-red and ultra-violet radiation enabling new materials in headlamp construction.
