HID, High Intensity Discharge, refers to lighting technology that relies on an
electrical charge to ignite xenon gas in a sealed bulb, similar to the lightning
phenomenon in the sky. HID lighting does not have a filament but instead creates
light by igniting an electrical discharge between two electrodes in an air
tight tiny quartz capsule filled with xenon gas. HID lighting are also called
Xenon lighting, referring to the gas inside the bulb.

HID vs. Halogen
HID lighting improves durability by 10 times as road
vibrations can cause damage to halogen filament, but there is nothing to
break inside HID bulb.
These light sources also produce a blue-white light that is safer because
it is closer to natural daylight. The color temperature is more than
5000K compared to 2300K for halogen. The light output from a 35W HID Xenon
lamp
is 300% more light than a 55W halogen bulb. The HID Xenon system will
also consume much less power from your vehicles electrical system and generate
much less heat during operation. Check out our video on HID.
Color Temperatures
Color Temperature is a measurement in Degrees Kelvin
(K) that indicates the hue of light source. There is a misconception that
color temperature
is a rating of the brightness of the HID bulb. The truth is that the higher
the color temperature, the less light output from the HID bulb.
However, all HID light is much brighter than
Halogen, even if it is a 35W 12000K HID bulb,
the light output still maintain well over 2700lm;
which
is still 300% brighter than 55W Halogen with 700lm. The industry recommended
standard is the 6000K HID bulb. Check out the lights live here.
