A ward - winning car lamps
Our lamps are often rewarded by automotive
experts
Maximum safety and visibility
Xenon X - tremeVision provides you with a
better reactivity thanks to earlier recognition
of obstacles and tra ffi c signs . Light is a
fundamental part of the driving experience
and light is the fi rst and only part of the
safety circle that actually helps prevent
accidents . Philips promotes active safety
protection to prevent accidents by increasing
overall visibility and road illumination ; as a
matter of fact the 4800 K colour temperature
increases the visual comfort .
Original Xenon technology
Xenon HID ( High Intensity Discharge ) lamps
o ff er twice as much light for safer driving in
all conditions . A s a matter of fact , the intense
white light produced by the Xenon HID lamps
is comparable to daylight . Studies have
demonstrated that xenon automotive lighting
helps drivers to concentrate on the road and
to distinguish obstacles and road signs much
faster than traditional lamps .
Up to 50% more vision
Xenon X - tremeVision lamps are engineered
with Philips Xenon technology for ultimate
performance . Producing a longer beam ,
Xenon X - treme vision helps you to see
obstacles earlier and improves the side
perception . By producing even more light ,
Xenon X - treme vision lamps satisfy the most
demanding drivers while maintaining their
high Original Equipment quality and superior
performance .
UV Resistant
Philips special anti - UV coating technology
protects the headlights against harmful
ultraviolet radiation , making Philips UV -
coated quartz glass perfect for all driving
conditions and ensuring their longevity
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 . Philips quartz - glass lamps are able
to withstand severe thermal shock . With the
capability of increased pressure inside the
lamp , UV - quartz glass is able to produce a
more powerful light .
Resistance to humidity
Only a burning bulb made of quartz glass can
resist thermal shocks , such as a drop of cold
water touching the hot bulb , which can
happen when you drive through water with a
broken headlight unit .
