Let there be light!

The safety of the driver and his passengers depends largely on the degree of illumination of the road-this issue is particularly acute in the fall and winter-when it gets dark early, but the traffic on the roads does not diminish. In order to protect yourself and your passengers, we suggest that you buy Philips autolamps for your car and thereby increase your safety level by several orders of magnitude. Only good lighting allows the driver to detect a change in the situation on the road in time and provides an opportunity to adequately assess the situation to make a maneuver.

To date, none of the car manufacturers use vacuum incandescent bulbs as head lighting. They have served humankind for several decades, and now only occasionally they can be found in auto products stores.

Halogen incandescent bulbs replaced the vacuum one. The presence of halogen in the lamp allowed to increase the life of the filament, thereby increasing the power of the lamps.

If we take into account the statistical data, we can say with certainty that the wrong head lighting is the key to dangerous situations on the road. Every fifth accident that occurs due to technical defects and entails damage to the health of passengers can be explained by defects in the lighting system. Mortality statistics in road accidents are even more depressing-half of the accidents that caused the death of people occurred at night.

Against the background of all this, a third of the cars that exist in our country do not have optimal lighting. What does it consist of?

The headlights have two main components. First of all, the light depends on the design of the headlamp itself-the diffuser and reflector, and the second-on the lamp used. And if the headlights of all modern manufacturers are designed in accordance with all the laws of lighting, and nothing depends on the choice of the buyer, then every motorist can choose the lamp independently, based on their own preferences. Halogen lamps can be bought with delivery in Ukraine to Kharkov, Kiev, Odessa at 130.com.ua.

Despite the fact that the concept of the lamp itself has not changed over the past 100 years, today there is a huge number of modifications with various features. The result is greatly influenced by several factors: the composition of the gas with which the flask is filled, the spiral of the halogen lamp, the electrode holders, the coating of the flask.

There are also significant differences between the lamps of different manufacturers, because each of them uses different technologies and innovative solutions. For example, there may be different processes for optimizing the evacuation of air from flasks, installing parts using various tools.

Let's see what types of halogen lamps are and depending on what they are classified by the example of the Philips trademark.

Lamps with enhanced light output

Philips Premium

The advantage of these lamps is that they give 30% more light than standard lamps, thanks to the content of xenon in them. In bad weather conditions or in the dark, this lamp is a reliable assistant motorist. Philips Premium halogen lamp is presented in the following bases: H1, H3, H4, H7, HB3, HB4.

Philips X-treme power +80%

These lamps are considered the brightest in the world. The beam of the Philips X-treme power halogen lamp + 80% longer by 30–35 meters of the beam, which is the case with standard lamps. Thus, the load on the vision is reduced by 10%, which, apparently, at first glance does not play a big role, but with frequent driving at night, the effect is very noticeable. This is the best alternative to high power lamps. The feature of these lamps is that they are filled with xenon and halogen gas, and the pressure in the flask is increased, and the driving safety is increased due to + 80% –90% of the light flux. Philips X-treme power + 80% halogen bulbs are represented in such bases H1, H4, H7, H3, H11.

Lamps for improved visual comfort

Philips Blue Vision

This type of lamp produces daylight. Due to this, the concentration of the driver, especially when driving at night, increases, thereby making night driving less tiresome. Also thanks to the Philips Blue Vision halogen lamp, signs and road markings are better reflected. This lamp is suitable for all weather conditions, being a product with improved visual comfort. Philips Blue Vision can be used in all modern cars to improve driver concentration during night driving. This lamp has a characteristic blue coating, its color temperature is 4000 K, filled with xenon and halogen. Philips Blue Vision halogen lamp is available in such H1, H3, H4, H7, HB3, HB4 sockets.

Philips Diamond Vision

Diamond Vision halogen lamps are new generation lamps that are designed to replace standard halogen lamps. A temperature of 5,000 Kelvins makes them almost indistinguishable from real HIDs. These lamps have a special UV filter to protect the plastic elements of the lamp-so it will serve you much further.

Philips Rally

A feature of these halogen bulbs is that they are designed for off-road driving. In terms of the use of Philips Rally halogen lamps, it is written that the lamps are intended only for racing tracks. Please note that these are high power filament lamps, but they do not comply with ECE R3 and therefore cannot be used in Europe. They are implemented in the bases H1, H3, H4, H7, HB3 (9005) and HB4 (9006).

Also, each of the manufacturers has in stock its “zest”. Philips even has several of them-for example, unique designs for night driving.

Philips Night Guide 3 in 1

Philips Night Guide halogen lamps are lamps that combine the properties of three “whales” of lamp production-“Vision Plus + 50%”, “Blue Vision”, and “Weathervision”. The light of these lamps for night driving is divided into three zones. Ahead-white color with increased light output by 50%, which makes it possible to illuminate the roadway 10–20 m further than halogen, on the left there will be light with a yellowish tinge that does not blind drivers traveling along the counter. On the right is a daylight zone with a blue tint, particularly illuminating road signs and a roadside zone.

When choosing halogen lamps, you first need to decide what temperature is needed-after all, the luminous lamps depend on it. Specialists of the online store 130.com.ua will help you choose and buy halogen lamps based on your needs.
