Xenon lamps*
The xenon lamps provide forward illu-
mination with significantly more bright-
ness and uniformity than the traditional
halogen lamps.
In a xenon lamp, an electric arc
replaces the filament in order to
generate intense illumination. A gas
mixture in a quartz glass tube with
metal vapor is ignited by a high electric
voltage. The arc that is generated is
then sustained by a lower voltage.
When the lamp is turned on there is a
brief period of high intensity. Maximum
brightness is attained in approx.
15 seconds.
Xenon lamps provide significantly
improved visibility, especially during
adverse weather conditions and difficult
driving situations (e.g. driving at night in
heavy rain or through road repair areas
where there are no lane markers).
Xenon lamps make a significant contri-
bution to highway safety since other
highway users, bicyclists and motorcy-
clists in the right lane, and pedestrians
are more easily detected.
