One difference between LED headlights and xenon headlights is that both have limitations.
The main differences between xenon lamps and LED lamps can be summarized in the following three points.
1. One difference between LED headlights and xenon headlights is that both have limitations. Due to physical reasons, when driving at night with xenon headlights, the light penetration is not very strong, which can lead to danger, and it takes three seconds to reach full brightness. Therefore, according to our country's regulations, xenon headlights are prohibited for use as car front lights, but they can be used for car low beams. The limitation of LED headlights lies in the restriction of luminous power. Although the time to reach full brightness for LED headlights is relatively short and they are widely used for braking, the limitation of luminous power means that the light source's penetration is not very strong. Therefore, currently, LED light sources are not suitable for use in car headlights.
2. So what is the second difference between LED headlights and xenon headlights? Compared to LED headlights, xenon headlights have the disadvantage of power consumption; they need to reach a certain temperature to achieve full illumination. Good xenon headlights are quite bright when illuminated, which can be blinding. LED headlights, installed at the front of the car, are more energy-efficient and are considered aesthetically pleasing and compact types of automotive lighting. Therefore, there are indeed differences between LED headlights and xenon headlights in terms of light source and illumination.
3. LED headlights and xenon headlights are widely used in automotive lighting and are two common types of lamps. The third difference between LED headlights and xenon headlights is that they emit light in different ways. Xenon headlights, in professional terms, belong to gas discharge lamps and require a starter installed in the car to emit light, while LED headlights are semiconductors and do not require a so-called starter to emit light. The difference in the way they emit light allows both LED and xenon headlights to achieve full brightness.
