The story about the auto history, it is not hard to see the beginning: long long ago, a car is no lights. It is said that the first car headlamps is household hand lamp. In opaque late at night, a farmer with a lantern to guide lost the driver to go home.
in 1898, Boston held the first auto exhibition in the United States, the United States Columbia cars will be the light as the headlights and tail lights, lights was born. In 1916, the United States, a man named Thomas c. H in order to let the other driver can see in the evening he dozen of gestures, took a battery of bulb on the gloves, thus turn signals humor.
in 1938, America buick car mount to flash light, as a time just choose accessories installed in car tail. It was not until 1940 years later in the front of car is fitted with a turn signal. Ideas from afar off back to now, the car lights along with the development of automotive technology, as the science of uniting the years of the magic stone more glittering and translucent crystal and wonderful. Early car headlights with tungsten filament incandescent lamp, dim the lights only supply slower vehicles. For a long time, in the domestic market, incandescent lamp has been the main source of various kinds of lights. As unstable quality of incandescent lamp, domestic every year so many accidents occur, incandescent light vacuum gradually be eliminated.
in the past 20 years, automotive lighting, halogen lamp, 卤素) Gained popularity. Halogen lamp of each light is composed of two groups of filament. Filament, a group is the main beam of light straight shot forward to after the mirror reflection lampshade, this kind of light is what we call 'in'. The other is a partial beam filament, the light to the mask to block in the upper part of chimney reflection mirror, the reflection out of light is diffuse down to the ground, won't cause dizziness to opposite to car drivers, this is what we call 'low'. The disadvantage of halogen lamp is to use after a period of time, the ability to glow will degenerate. So a lot of drivers with the method of replacement of special specifications of the bulb to enhance luminous intensity, in order to meet the needs of driving at night. The disadvantages of this kind of bulb is too big power consumption, heat coming from the light bulb is also big, makes the lamp cover glass is broken, and inside the lamp shell or the reflection of flake coating due to heat expansion, even burst out of shape.
hyundai emphasize safety and comfort, automobile anti-skid braking system and the airbag almost has been used in all cars, but there are still a lot of accidents in poor visual conditions, such as night and bad weather. And with the rise of the average age of the driver, the old people in the driving need 6 times more than the young illumination, which puts forward higher requirements for lighting equipment.
after entering the 21st century, car lighting also entered the new era. The company successfully developed the xenon lamp with 5 years time, English abbreviation HID ( 高强度放电灯) And take the lead in limousines vcos in Europe. Xenon lamp lighting system is composed of three matching parts. A miniature gas discharge lamp as light source, an electronic device control starting and ignition point, and fine matching headlamps. Xenon lamp and halogen lamp's main difference is that the former by gas ionization, the latter by heating tungsten light. Xenon lamp reliability is high, not influenced by the bus voltage fluctuation, improve the driving safety at night. Due to no filament, not the problem of traditional filament brittle broken, service life is longer than normal halogen lamps. In addition, smaller volume of headlamps give automobile appearance modelling design more creative space, auto makers also because to be able to use high temperature resistant standards low plastic and reduce energy consumption and benefit. Therefore, xenon lamp gradually becoming the mainstream trend of modern automobile headlights.
