This design works rather differently from halogen bulbs, for light is produced by an electric arc instead of a glowing filament. Better described as metal-halide lamps with xenon gas, xenon ...

to produce light that is much brighter and has a wider beam pattern than other headlights. They are about 90% more efficient and generate less heat. They also tend to last longer than xenon or halogen ...

HID bulbs, also known as xenon bulbs, produce a bright, white light that is similar to daylight. They are more expensive than halogen bulbs but are significantly brighter and have a longer lifespan.

Today, we have three types of headlights: tungsten-halogen, Xenon high-intensity discharge (HID) lights and light-emitting diodes (LED). Introduced in the 1980s, halogen are the cheapest.

You can also buy halogen bulbs that contain some Xenon for a whiter/bluer light. HID/Xenon bulbs use a different technology to halogens. Instead of relying on a filament they use an electric arc ...

These bulbs are filled with xenon gas, making them much brighter than halogen lights. They produce a very bright and clear white light, ideal for night drives and are more energy-efficient than ...

The U.S. Department of Energy is banning the sale of energy inefficient light bulbs beginning Aug. 1, 2023. Given that incandescent and halogen light bulbs are far less energy efficient than LED ...
