If the light is not good at night, the driver's vision will be affected, so driving at night needs to turn on the lights. There are different types of lights on the car, the lights on the old cars are basically halogen lights, in the 90s there were xenon lights, and now the cars are basically replaced by LED lights.
According to the law of development, the brightness of LED lights is higher, the lighting range is wider, and car owners should prefer LED lights. However, many old drivers said that halogen headlights are the best lights, as long as their own lights can still be used, they will not be replaced by LED lights, why is this? Insiders summarize three reasons.
First, the halogen headlights appeared early, and everyone was used to the halogen headlights.
Halogen headlights have been used in cars since the 1970s, and have been used for more than 20 years, until the 1990s, when HID lamps were successively replaced. Although many car companies have also kept pace with the times and replaced xenon lamps, many domestic cars and entry-level joint venture models still use cheap halogen lamps.
The power of habit is enormous, halogen lamps have been used in cars for decades, people have long been accustomed to the brightness of this halogen lamp, unwilling to easily change this habit. When you see the LED lights on the road, you will feel very dazzling, and even think that the other party has high beams.
Second, the price is cheap, and it is not painful to change the headlights
In many cities, the number of cars has exceeded 5 million, and road conditions have begun to become complicated, and traffic accidents may occur if you are not careful. Headlights are the most vulnerable parts of the car, if the headlights are damaged, the cost of changing a headlight is not cheap.
According to the current market price, LED lights are the most expensive, and it takes 1000 yuan to 1500 yuan to change a lamp. The cost of xenon headlights is relatively cheap, but it costs 400 to 500 yuan to change a headlight. The price of halogen lamps is the cheapest of the three, and a lamp is only 200 yuan. For cars at the same price, the car with LED lights is more than 1,000 yuan higher than the cost of halogen lamps, and it feels like a loss when you think about it.
Third, halogen lamps are durable and penetrating
Many people don't like halogen lamps because the halogen lamps are dim and look like candles. Turn on the lights on the dark road, the lighting range is small. However, if you understand the penetration rate of halogen lamps, you will find that although its light looks very weak, the actual penetration is much higher than that of the other two halogen lamps.
Generally speaking, when light is scattered in rain and fog, the higher the color temperature, the worse the light penetration effect. The color temperature of the LED lamp is about 5500, the color temperature of the xenon lamp is also more than 4000, and the color temperature of the halogen lamp is only 3000. It has the lowest color temperature value of the three, so its penetration effect is the best.
Driving in rain and snow weather, the environment is more harsh, and the requirements for car lights are higher. If the headlights have a higher penetration difference, it is impossible for other vehicles to see their cars in advance, which is very detrimental to driving safety.
All in all, halogen headlights are popular with older drivers because they have many very obvious advantages in themselves. Between brightness and safety, old drivers pay more attention to the safety of driving, and halogen lamps just meet this need of them. And the cost of such lamps is very low, which also reduces the pressure on car owners to maintain their cars.
