XENON BULBS

With the introduction of Xenon gas, Xenon bulbs can now offer up to 50% improved vision over a standard halogen while still using the same wattage.

These Xenon bulbs produce a whiter light and a wider spread of light than a standard bulb. This wider spread lights up more of the road and roadside areas increasing night time vision. The whiter light reflects off road signs more effectively making reading them at night far easier. The white light is also close to the colour of daylight. This means your eyes can focus better on the road which reduces night time fatigue.

The added bonus with Xenon bulbs is that the whiter colour looks aesthetically more pleasing. The pure crisp white light with a tint of blue (in some cases) can transform the look of your car. You no longer have to put up with the dirty yellow look of a stock halogen bulb.

In technical terms, Xenon bulbs have a higher K rating than a standard bulb. This K rating is an indication of the colour of the light produced. The K rating of a standard bulb is around 1800K. The K rating of Xenon bulbs is usually around the 4000K mark. The K rating of the Sun is about 5500K. Xenon bulbs above the K rating of the Sun are available where the light gets bluer the higher you go. However the optimum K rating for xenon bulbs around 4000-5000K

With growing technology Xenon bulbs are not only restricted to the main headlights of a car. They are also available in xenon sidelight bulbs. These Xenon sidelight bulbs offer the same white light as the headlight Xenon bulbs. This ensures your entire headlight is a pure white light and not tainted by a yellow sidelight bulb
