When driving off-road at night or even down rural roads, it becomes very apparent that the factory headlights and fog lights leave a lot to be desired, even with the high beams on. In the past, ...

Yes, HID lighting is affected by poor power quality. External occurrences can cause HID lighting distribution voltage to either interrupt the HID lamp's arc stream or to sag below the minimum voltage ...

More than 105 million high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps, ranging from 20W to 2,000W in size, are now in use in a broad range of interior and exterior applications in the United States. HID lighting ...

LED lighting has taken roadways by storm, but are they better than HIDs? We breakdown the differences between the two to find the better bulb. LED headlights dominate the industry due to efficiency ...

High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting does not use the filament that is commonly found in normal automotive or motorcycle light bulbs. Instead, the bulb is filled with Xenon gas. The gas is ignited ...

With the industry spotlight focused intensely on LEDs, HID(high-intensity-discharge) lighting is still widely used for many outdoorarchitectural and general-purpose lighting applications. These lamps ...

Ever since the electric light bulb was conceived in the early 1800s, inventors have sought to improve on its design to provide greater light output, better power efficiency, and increased longevity.

With all of the excitement surrounding LEDs these days, one might say high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps are out of the limelight. But though LEDs get most of the headlines, HID sources are still ...

Aided by a new full-bridge controller, a popular electronic HID ballast topology manages lamp operation, while enhancing lamp safety. Tom Ribarich, Director, Lighting IC Design Center, International ...

Streamlight has introduced a new version of its rechargeable HID LiteBox searchlight, with a 12-volt DC power cord to allow for continuous operation. The lantern features High Intensity Discharge ...

The $112 billion global lighting industry is constantly working to improve clarity, brightness and efficiency. In recent years, LED lighting has become a trend. The bulbs are energy efficient and can ...
