Do you want to drive more safe at night with a better and wider light vision,
and see far much beyond the dashboard. HID lights is your best choice, we call
it HID lights, hid conversion kits and HID xenon. It's getting more and more
popular in the automotive industry, and replaced most of the halogen headlights
with it's better light intensity and lower power consumptions.
What is HID?
An HID light consists of a glass tube that contains tungsten electrodes, gas
and metals. You see light emit from the tube when an electrical arc is struck
across the electrodes. The gas helps the light to start, and once the metals
are heated they function to produce the light. Gardeners enjoy the benefits
of using these lights because they provide light that most closely resembles
sunlight, a definite plus when you are growing plants indoors without exposure
to sunlight. They are also cost efficient, because they last longer than other
light bulbs and are more energy efficient.
Here is some specifications for color temperature
HID Color temperature refers to the degrees (K) , which simply the measures
of the color for the lighting output, like golden yellow, white, crystal white,
blue …
Degree (k) refers only to the color, while lumen refers to the lighting intensity.
So the higher the color temperature (degrees K) doesn’t mean a higher light
intensity (lumen). Here is the summary for the common color temperature on the
market --
3000K (Golden Yellow) , 4300K (Bright White), 5000K (white), 6000K (Crystal
White),8000K (Crystal Blue), 10000K (Aqua Blue), 12000K (Purple-Blue).
5000K or 6000K are the most popular color temperature, and if you are planning
to buy the hid kits with 10000K or over, please be careful about the legal issue
in your country. Most of the 12000K or 14000K (purple) are using off road only.
Please make sure that you know what kits you need to install your hid lights,
here are something you should know before purchasing a new hid kits.
1 . Single Beam Kit, comes with 2 pairs of HID bulbs, 2 ballasts.
(if your vehicle uses 2 pairs of bulbs, 1 for low beam and the other for high
beam, you can take this single beam hid kit for your low beams.) Common Bulb
sizes are H1, H3, H4-1, H7, 9004-1, 9005, 9006, 9007-1…
2. High/Low Beam - Hi/Lo Kit, comes with 2 pairs of HID bulbs (one HID and one
halogen on each HID bulb to perform the high and low beam function, Halogen
for high beam and HID for low beam.) and 2 ballasts. Common bulb sizes are H4-2,
9004-2, 9007-2.
3. Telescope Kit: Single HID can switch between high beam and low beam, with
2 ballasts and installation clamps. Common bulb sizes are H4-3, 9004-3, 9007-3.
4. Bi-xenon Kit: 2 HID bulbs on each bulb, which works for high and low beam,
with 4 ballasts and installation clamps. Common bulb sizes are H4-4, 9004-4,
9007-4.
Most of the HID Conversion Kits on the market are 35W/12V, you need 24V for
a truck. Some hid kits are using 55W, so buyer has to read the specifications
carefully.
