HID (Xenon) Bulk Buy by Elise-Shop.com
Once again, we will give you the opportunity to upgrade the lighting on your car to high performance HID lamps.
Xenon or HID lamps are the bright white lamps you'd normally find in the newer generation cars. Although these lamps draw less current then the OE halogen bulbs, the light output is increased by approx. 3 - 3.5x over a Halogen bulb.
Besides.. the colour temperature of these lamps is different.. The kits we are quoting are 6000 Kelvin which is experienced as near daylight. The advantage of this colour temperature is a more relaxing view of what's in front of you. Besides, road marking will reflect better.
HID is High Intensity Discharge. The actual bulb looks like a small glass bubble. The bubble looks empty, but is filled with Xenon gas. (hence the reason why some people call these lamps Xenon lamps) The Xenon gas is used as the conductor.
Applying 12 Volt to this conductor wouldn't start the lamp as the Xenon gas needs a higher voltage to start. To start the lamp, you need to apply approx. 20.000 Volt. When the lamp heats up, the voltage is lowered to approx. 85 Volt.
Comparing the two: (based on a H1 (=Elise S2) base)
Halogen HID
Wattage (W) 55 35
Candela (CD) 67500 202500
Lumen (Lm) 1550 3200
