Experience more light





Have you ever heard of xenon headlight bulbs? Why are xenon headlight bulbs whiter than halogen bulbs?

The xenon system consists of a light bulb, a starter and a ballast. A xenon system typically provides 3,200 lumens ± 10% and a color temperature at approximately 4,100 to 5,000 Kelvin depending on the type of light bulb. When the light is turned on, there is a strong blue light for approximately 2-5 seconds which transitions into a more white tone.

Xenon bulbs and headlights are an excellent system in terms of the amount of light. If you want to upgrade your xenon lights, you can switch to Philips Xenon X-treme Vision gen2 that provides up to +150% more vision*.

Xenon's Benefits

                                                                                                                           

Up to +150% more vision*

Xenon X-tremeVision gen2 bulbs are engineered with Philips Xenon technology for ultimate performance. Producing a longer beam and up to 150%* more vision, X-tremeVision gen2 bulbs help you spot obstacles earlier, and react in time. With improved peripheral vision, you'll have greater awareness of any dangers at the side of the road, such as pedestrians or upcoming junctions. Brightly illuminating every bump, curve and hazard in the road, these are headlamps to satisfy the most demanding drivers and the most demanding driving conditions.

Color temperature up to 5,000 Kelvin

With a colour temperature of up to 5 000 Kelvin, Philips Xenon WhiteVision gen2 headlight lamps are the perfect choice for drivers who want a crisp white look for their headlights. With the same colour temperature as LED lights, Xenon WhiteVision gen2 is the ultimate upgrade for your xenon headlights with a crisp, pure white beam that cuts through the darkness. Instead of straining to see the road ahead, you’ll enjoy a safer, more exciting drive. With Philips automotive lighting, driving at night shall no longer limit you.

Philips car bulbs are award-winning

The Philips Xenon headlight bulb is designed with a burner and a socket base as well as an integrated igniter (D1, D3, D5). For the D2 and D4, the igniter sits together with the ballast. All xenon light bulbs are manufactured in quartz glass and contain xenon gases, hence the name. The round part of the bulb is where the electrodes sit and a number of “salt pills”, these contain different metals whose task is to create the light bulb’s color temperature, etc.

Peace of mind with the longest guarantee

A high-quality xenon light bulb should last 3,000 hours. All of the values for the lifespan are measured in a laboratory and therefore cannot be transferred precisely to a specific automobile model.
Equip your car with Philips Xenon LongerLife lamps and you can drive up to 7 years without the worry of lamp failures. Philips Xenon LongerLife lamps automatically come with a 4-year warranty. Register your purchase online and you can extend this warranty by an extra 3 years.

                                                                                                                           

Respecting the high quality standards of ECE homologation

Although brighter lights help you see better, if they dazzle oncoming drivers it makes the road less safe for you. The ECE-certified xenon provides road-legal intense white light, with a headlight bulb colour that's harmonised with LED lights. The resulting light offers excellent visibility for safer driving, without irritating other drivers.

Featuring Xenon HID technology

Xenon HID (High Intensity Discharge) bulbs offer twice as much light for safer driving in all conditions. Studies have shown that Xenon automotive lighting helps drivers to concentrate on the road and to distinguish obstacles and road signs much faster than with traditional bulbs. With Philips xenon, there's no better way to defeat darkness than with an intense white light comparable to daylight.

Illuminate the road without dazzling

It's not enough just to have powerful headlights; optical precision matters, too. The Xenon X-tremeVision gen2 bulbs have the most precise arc-bending technology aligned at 150-350 µm, this means they illuminate the road just where you need it, without dazzling oncoming drivers.

High-quality quartz glass

UV-Quartz glass is stronger than hard glass and highly resistant to temperature extremes and vibrations, which eliminates the risk of explosion. So Philips quartz-glass bulbs are able to withstand severe thermal shock. With the capability of increased pressure inside the bulb, UV-quartz glass is able to produce a more powerful light. And more powerful light means an enhanced driving experience, however dark the road in front of you.
