As the eyes of the car, headlights are related to the safety of vehicle use, especially when the vehicle is at night, which greatly improves the safety of vehicle use. There are many types of car headlights.
The light source of headlights can be divided into traditional halogen headlights, LED headlights and xenon headlights, especially halogen headlights, are prone to weakening of the brightness of the light source after long-term use, so many people will switch to xenon headlights and LEDs.
Today, let’s talk about xenon headlights and LED headlights, Which would be better?
From the perspective of the light source, the lumens of xenon headlights and LEDs are generally within the color temperature range of 2700~5000K according to the same power specification. According to the refinement, the vehicle uses 35w xenon headlights with its own lumens of 3500, averaging 100 lumens per watt.
The other is LED headlights. The 35w led light has 3200 lumens, which requires an average of 91 lumens per watt. From the perspective of power, LEDs will save more power, while xenon headlights will consume power in terms of power. For the battery of the vehicle, the battery consumption of vehicles with LED headlights will be much lower, and of course it is also conducive to the use of batteries. Safety.
Aside from these, in the startup of the headlight, the LED light source will start much faster, and there is no problem of circuit modification and adaptation. The structure of the xenon headlight is different.
The xenon headlight is composed of ballasts, bulbs, wires, etc. ,The ballast is to convert 12V DC into high voltage trigger electricity, there will be a problem, the ballast needs to be added, and this additional device needs to be activated by subsequent equipment, otherwise there is no way to start, the advantage is that the headlights are in use At times, the brightness will be higher, and the LED headlights do not have this problem and can be installed directly, and the original circuit and voltage of the vehicle can be directly driven.
Although LED headlights have advantages in energy saving, safety and color temperature, according to the types and brands of LEDs currently on the market and the results, there is still a large gap in the lumen value of LED headlights.
The concept of "actual effect value" was stolen with "theoretical value of headlights". As a car owner, excessive pursuit of ultra-high lumens is a mistake in itself. The key is when using it, whether it is xenon headlights or LED headlights, you need to look at the actual needs to choose.
