A Complete Guide To Motorcycle Lights

As we all know, the two main functions of motorcycle lights are lighting and signaling. In this paper, we are going to popularize the knowledge about motorcycle light.

Motorcycle lamps can be divided into halogen lights, xenon lights and LED lights according to the light source.

Halogen Lights

Halogen lamps are literally filled with some halogen substances. And most halogen lamps have tungsten wires. The halogen lamp emits light through the tungsten wire, which has low lumen, insufficient brightness and easy power consumption. Then the motorcycle lamp is turned on for a period of time, and the temperature of the bulb rises to sublimate the tungsten wire. The most important thing is to wait until it cools down and the tungsten solidifies on the tungsten wire again. The service life of this kind of bulb is longer than that of incandescent lamp.

Advantages And Disadvantages

This kind of lamp is basically the original configuration of many car factories. When it comes to structure and production cost, it is absolutely the simplest and lowest. As for the light is not bad, it can definitely meet the daily needs. 55W halogen lamp can only produce 1000 lumens of light. The light is very uniform, especially in bad weather (rain and snow), and the penetration is very strong. However, the color of the light is yellow, the brightness is limited, and the service life is short (600 hours).

Xenon Lights

Xenon lamp is the lamp most refitted by motorists. So why are so many people refitting xenon lamps? The lamp adopts some better UV resistant crystal quartz glass and is filled with a variety of chemical gases. It is called xenon lamp because it is mainly composed of xenon. His luminous principle is to increase the 12V voltage of the vehicle instantaneously, so that the xenon electrons in the quartz tube move and generate a light source between the two poles. The xenon lamp excites xenon through high pressure, with high brightness and service life of about 2000 hours.

Advantages And Disadvantages

Xenon lamp has sufficient light, high brightness and long service life (about 3000 hours). It is no exaggeration to say that the light of xenon lamp is similar to sunlight. It has a wide field of vision with ultra long and ultra wide angle. 35W xenon lamp can produce 3200 lumens of strong light. To say the disadvantages, the structure of xenon lamp is more complex, and it needs to wait for a period of time to light up after the lamp is on.

LED Lights

LED light is what we often call led. Light emitting diode can effectively convert electric energy into visible light. It is a solid-state semiconductor device, which can directly convert electricity into light. Integration, simple installation and long service life.

Advantages And Disadvantages

LED lights have many advantages. Now many motorcycles use LED as daytime running lights and steering assist lights. This kind of lamp is very power-saving. The energy consumption of LED lamp is almost one tenth of that of halogen lamp, and the service life (100000 hours) is also the longest. The lighting speed is almost no delay. Due to its small size, it can also make a variety of shapes. However, the cost of this kind of lamp is very high, and once it breaks down, the repair is more troublesome.

If you’re looking for motorcycle lights, China motorcycle light is a fine choice. KALIDA is a Chongqing motorcycle lights factory form China, which enjoys a good reputation among customers.
