Xenon car headlight bulb

Highlights
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, allowing you to react in time.
And with improved peripheral vison, 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.
Maximum safety and visibility
Light is a fundamental part of the driving
experience. Simply by improving the quality of
light you can help prevent accidents. The
Xenon X-tremeVision gen2 improves visibility,
so you're able to recognise obstacles and
traffic signs earlier, improving your reaction
times. The spectral composition of this light is
adapted to the natural colour sensitivity of your
eye. And with a colour temperature of 4800 K,
this headlamp produces light that's gentle on
your eyes, making the night-time driving
experience safer and more comfortable.
Optimal light performance
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.
Original Xenon 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. And what better way to defeat darkness
than with an intense white light comparable to
daylight?
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
(filament 2650°C and glass 800°C) 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.
UV-resistant glass
Philips' special anti-UV coating technology
protects the headlights against harmful
ultraviolet radiation, making Philips UV-coated
quartz glass perfect for all driving conditions.
This additional protective layer ensures your
lights are built to last.
