Headlamps Description and Operation

Description

1. 1
   Lamp

   1. Elements: Xenon Gas: Xenon gas enables the initial reaction for quick illumination. Molybdenum Electrode: Anode sparking. Metal Halide Salts: Color-forming component.
   2. Lighting Principle: When xenon gas and metal halide salt are discharged by the molybdenum anode in the capsule, it emits light.
2. 2
   Igniter: The igniter (A) is an electromagnetic transformer that receives current from the ballast and supplies high voltage to the arc light source in any environment.

   

3. 3
   Ballast

   1. Ballast (A) supplies an instant high-voltage pulse to the ignition electrode to initiate discharge in the source.
   2. The ballast provides stable power to the lamp and igniter during initial startup and normal arc condition.

   Definition

   • Headlamp with built-in high beam and low beam functions.
   • Light is controlled by rotating the shield inserted into the lens (solenoid used).

   

5. 5
   Structure and Mechanism

   • When operating as low beam: Only the low beam lights, as the stopped shield blocks the light.

   

   • When operating as high beam: The light is not blocked by the open shield, so the light illuminates the high beam area.
