Types of bulbs in trucks

• Traditional light bulbs - they can be found in the position and flashers. However, they are ineffective because only 8% of the generated electricity is converted into light. This is because the visible blackening on the bulb (which is actually vaporized tungsten particles) reduces light emission and shortens its lifespan. Therefore, more and more often traditional light bulbs have been replaced with LEDs.
• LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE, that is, light emitting diodes can be found in the back and front lighting of a car. Compared to traditional bulbs, their electricity consumption is 86% lower with the same efficiency. Important: LEDs have high resistance to vibration, humidity, temperature extremes and long service life. This makes them ideal for trucks operating in harsh conditions.
• Halogens is an improved version of the traditional light bulb. By adding iodine to the halogen mixture no blackening is formed on the bulb. This ensures that the light emission is not attenuated. In addition, the filament of the halogen lamp, unlike the traditional one, operates at a higher temperature. This translates to stronger light beam.
• Xenons, also called discharge lamps, they produce more light than halogens and consume 2/3 less energy. However, they are not very popular for good reason. high production costs; and complex ignition. According to the admission rules, xenon headlights must have dynamic system Or automatic alignment, as well as their cleaning system.
