Advantages Of High Intensity Discharge Bulbs

High Intensity Discharge lamps have higher luminous power since a greater proportion of their radiation is in visible light as opposed to heat. Their overall luminous effectiveness is also much higher: they give a greater amount of light output per watt of electricity input. They are designed to be more powerful than ordinary factory installed lights, and are therefore a preferred choice of many. Read on to discover all the benefits and uses of HID lamps.

The Advantages of High Intensity Discharge Bulbs:

• 3X Brighter and more consistent illumination of the road which increases comfort and reduces fatigue when driving at night.
• Produces blue-white light that is brighter and safer because it is closer to natural daylight.
• 10X Longer Lasting. No need to replace for life of a vehicle.
• 35% less power consumption, thus generate much less heat during operation.

High Intensity Discharge lamps are typically used when high levels of light over large areas are necessary, and when energy efficiency and/or light intensity are desired. Some places you might find HID lamps include gymnasiums, large public areas, warehouses, movie theaters, football stadiums, outdoor activity areas, roadways, parking lots, and pathways.

Beginning in the early 1990s, HID lamps have been used in motor vehicle headlamps since they give improved nighttime visibility. They are also used in high-performance bicycle headlamps as well as flashlights and other portable lights, because they produce a great amount of light per unit of electricity. As the HID lights use less than half the power of an equivalent tungsten-halogen light, a significantly smaller and lighter-weight power supply can be used.
