The auxiliary lights can be of different types: halogen, LED or xenon. In this article, we will consider the direct purpose of halogen light sources. They are of various manufacturers and for various purposes. So, in more detail. All additional optics are divided into high beam, low beam and fog lights.
Classification and purpose of halogen auxiliary headlights
Headlights can be divided into three categories depending on the spotlight beam:
Designed for those drivers who have little head optics light. Such headlights are necessary for night driving, there is a lot of their light in front of the car and on the side of the road. This light has a dazzling effect and can be used in desert areas. Such optics are needed to amplify the standard light and to increase the intensity. The headlights must provide visibility up to 150 meters and satisfy the driver in terms of light even at the 300-meter mark. It is worth considering that the light from such headlights should not exceed 225,000 cd; on the road, they should be covered with special covers.
For example, if you approach the choice of such headlights in a dense manner, then it is worth noting that there are two types of rays: tunnel and flooding. Tunnel light - illuminates the road with a narrow and distant light beam. This light is less painful for oncoming drivers. Pouring further light mode is a luminous flux that floods the side of the road and very much dazzles oncoming drivers. It is always worth remembering that improperly used light from additional headlights can affect the creation of an accident, be vigilant!
Designed for those who do not have enough low beam in the head optics of the car. After all, this is the main light, and as a rule, its quality depends on the safety of the driver and passengers.
Many drivers install these headlights as a tuning. This is a big delusion, it is better not to do this, because there are other lighting devices for this. When choosing additional light in low beam mode, remember that the light should be short, but wide enough, so it can illuminate part of the road in front of the car. Among these headlights, it is allowed to use only headlights with a working light, for the use of the rest you can get a fine.
They are used in poor visibility, that is, in adverse weather conditions. It can be pouring and not very rain, sticky snow, thick fog, etc. The beam of light from such headlights is directed downward, directly onto the road. They are usually mounted in the front of the car, improving the illumination of the car in bad weather. The best visibility from such a module is achieved by the fact that the device has yellow glass plus a halogen light source - this is an ideal solution for light in bad weather. Since such light does not reflect the drops, but "penetrates" through them, maximally extending the light beam.
Spotlight Finder is needed in order to perform a specific function. Typically, it is provided as a light source that is positioned to the side, rear or corner of the machine. Some models have radio-controlled remotes and can be rotated 360 degrees for comfortable use. Basically, such a light is used by hunters, fishermen, extreme sportsmen or on special equipment, which is called with the help of 01.02 and 03. The most popular manufacturers of additional optics can be considered world-renowned companies IPF and Hella.
Company IPF is considered the most famous Japanese company for the production of hybrid lamps. Their products are a kind of breakthrough in lighting technology. IPF technical centers are the most equipped, all products undergo a multi-stage quality control and thorough check for defects.
What is unique about IPF halogen lamps for additional light?
First of all, this is a technology not previously used in halogen lighting - the addition of xenon gas to the lamp under high pressure, which gives a uniform and snow-white light. The increased brightness does not put an additional load on the on-board system, and the brightness is increased by 150%.
Additional benefits of IPF halogen sources:
- There is no need to replace the standard wiring or optics relay;
- You can increase the power on the low beam;
- The high contrast of light does not cause fatigue of the driver's eyes;
- IPF light sources are used close to plastic parts, they do not heat up and do not damage them;
- Large selection of light temperature, which can be selected according to the purpose;
- Due to the innovative design, the service life is increased;
- Acceptable pricing policy.
The company manufactures additional headlights in various shapes, glass colors, headlamp sizes and color temperatures. The choice is up to the driver, according to his preferences.
Company Hella has a slightly smaller assortment of goods in this market segment, but still enjoys a fairly large demand in the market of supplemented lighting equipment. Its range consists mainly of high beam halogen lamps. All products are highly durable and have an incredible durability. The lamp emits a powerful stream of light that evenly floods the area in front of the car.
So, having familiarized yourself with this material, you can make the appropriate output that all the additional optics of the car can fill any space that the driver needs with light: in front in low beam mode, in high beam mode, supplement insufficient lighting in the PTF or equip the car with headlights on the side or behind. In any case, each driver will be able to equip his car so that movement on it is as comfortable and convenient as possible.
Among the advantages of halogen additional light is its price along with quality, as well as versatility when choosing an appointment. In addition to the fact that your car will be fully equipped with lighting equipment, it will also receive excellent external optics tuning. Agree that these are quite rationally distributed material resources - to get both modernization and additional light in one "bottle".
