PIAA HID Bulb
The PIAA HID lighting system has become increasingly popular nowadays. The PIAA HID bulb has the ability to cast light far down the road, and this is not equaled by any modern halogen lamp system. This is because HID bulb uses an arc of light similar to high intensity stadium lighting. But unlike stadium lights, this innovative light uses superior high voltage to initiate the arc so that no warm up time is needed. HID bulb produces a light whose measure may be 4100 degree Kelvin as opposed to 2800 degree Kelvin produced by typical halogen filament bulb. The outcome is a daylight white/blue halogen light and this consumes only 50 watts of power. The bulb controller provides a steady 90 volts to maintain the arc when the bulb reaches the full brightness. Know that HID bulbs do not use a filament halogen bulb; it creates light by zapping an arc between two electrodes, instead. What happens here is that the arc excites the xenon gases, igniting metallic salts. Now, basically, HID has power consumption of approximately 3.5 amps constant draw compared to approximately 10 amps drawn from a standard halogen light bulb. Compared to halogen lamp which has only 750 hour life, HID bulb light has an average of 3000 life hours. It is not affected by vibrations or rough road conditions, too. And today, HID light is good to use since lighting system is not only essential to your car but more so, it is all about making a statement for your ride.
