Drivers can now get the whitest headlights on the road, thanks to the new Xenon5000 bulbs. These bright, white headlights match the colour of LED daytime running lamps without HID or LED technology.
Modern
vehicle lighting often incorporates low energy, very white LED daytime running
lamps (DRLs). These emit an attractive white light, with a very high colour
temperature – around 6000K. As most cars still have standard halogen headlights,
this can lead to an inconsistent look between the white DRLs and the headlights,
which will emit a yellow-tinted light, with a colour temperature of around
2700K. Ring’s latest performance headlight bulb – the Xenon5000 – is different.
This bulb emits a very white light, with a colour temperature of around 5000K.
These bulbs closely match LEDs, and give a high spec finish. It is the easy way
to upgrade the look of a vehicle, and responds the growing trend for whiter
headlights.
As
well as giving an attractive appearance, the whiter light improves reflections
from road signs and markings, and the bulbs put up to 50% more light on the
road than a standard halogen headlight, making night time driving safer and
more comfortable.
Matthew
Flaherty, Ring’s Lighting Product Manager, says: “The mismatch between
headlights and LED DRLs gives an inconsistent look in vehicle lighting. The new
Xenon5000 bulbs give drivers a low-cost upgrade that is easy to install and
gives instant results, while giving motor factors a clear upgrade opportunity
and chance to increase profit. We’ve used highly engineered lighting technology
and testing to ensure that not only do these bulbs give an attractive white
light output, they also put more light on the road and are fully street legal."
The
new bulbs come in popular H1, H4, H7 and H11 and references, with an SRP
starting at £28.49, making them ideal to fit on a wide range of vehicles. They
require no wiring changes and are ECE Reg 37 approved, making them road legal. The
H4, H7 and H11 bulbs have a stylish silver tip, to blend into the headlamp unit
and give a high spec finish. A countertop display unit is also available.
The Xenon5000 is the latest addition to Ring’s
performance halogen range, and joins the rest of the brighter and whiter bulb
ranges.
