In 1898, British scientists in the study of slow evaporation of liquid air and its volatility fractions of hygroscopic method has opened a new chemical element, rare gas of the atmosphere, which was named Xenon. But only recently started to use xenon incandescent and HID light sources powerful, because the high atomic mass of this gas can not escape from the tungsten filament. Currently, sales of automotive lamps using xenon is a good deal of the total sales volume automotive optics. For the selection of xenon lamps to a particular vehicle, there are special tables. These lamps can be installed in a full-time spotlight, but in addition there is the possibility of an additional optics and xenon. In optics such an installation kit includes not only the bulb, but the digital blocks of ignition. These units provide intelligent control of the lamp, thus achieving a high stability of the world in various weather and road conditions. These units, developed under a new scheme was introduced in 2007 and to date there is no alternative to them, as they provide the highest reliability of xenon light. It blocks the fifth generation. They have a small size and easy to install, so very easy to quickly install xenon lights on any car. Most of these units are designed for use in vehicles with onboard network 12 and are equipped with a locking system, which is triggered in case of broken lamps, as well as breakage or short circuit the wires. In addition, these units use microprocessor ignition stabilizing power, whereby power dissipation by jet circuit elements to a minimum and greatly increases reliability and durability of the entire kit. Almost immediately after the first car is a problem of lighting the road in front of the machine, and since then several types of light sources were replaced by each other. Initially the cars are gas lamps, but this light was not very effective, so pretty soon they were replaced by vacuum incandescent lamps. Vacuum tubes used in automotive applications for quite some time, but eventually they were replaced by halogen. Now you can with the statement to say that it was the era of xenon lamps, xenon, and the sale has taken a leading position in the automotive segment optics. By the way, the first lamp in which xenon was used, developed by Philips. HID-lamp (High Intensity Discharge) xenon lamps, or simply in automotive engineering have been used since 1992. Through the use of xenon light intensity increased significantly. This was possible due to the emission of gas, caused by an arc discharge occurring between two electrodes. Xenon has a color temperature of 4300 degrees Kelvin, which is 1500 degrees higher than that of halogen lamps. And it is the color temperature of the glow plays a key role in the characteristics of light. For example, the color temperature of the sun reaches 5000-6000 degrees, therefore, that xenon as close to that range to the sunlight and provides a near natural light. Power consumption of xenon lamps is much lower tubes of another type, the average lifespan is between 2,800 and 4,000 hours, which is almost 10 times more than halogen lamps. Xenon provides high vibration resistance and good visibility, and the only disadvantage of xenon lamps is their relatively high cost.
