Front headlights

front headlights: structure, varieties, how to order

Optics plays an important role in the construction of the car, directly affecting the visibility on the road and the safety of all traffic participants. The basis of the optics of any vehicle is the front headlights.

structure of front headlights

All headlights provide 3 components:

• reflector;
• light sources;
• a diffuser.

the reflector is responsible for reflection and strengthening of light from the light bulb. It forms a luminous flux and directs it to a certain area of ​​the road. The basis of the reflector is glass or plastic. The reflective layer is sprayed with metal.

reflectors are classified into:

• Parabolic - distinguished by a simple shape, do not provide adjustments to the brightness and direction of the flow, occur in low -cost headlamps;
?
• lenses - the most expensive and most pronounced, differ in dynamic design, which require periodic regulation.

Hlogen lamps, LEDs, xenon are used as a light source source in the front headlights.

The diffuser directs and scatters the flow of light that has been reflected from the reflector. It has a complex profile that divides the ray of light into separate bundles. Also, the diffuser acts as a protective element, prevents getting inside moisture, sand, and road debris.

Types Farage by their intended purpose

front headlights are divided into:

• Far light;
• Night light;
• fog lights;
• daylight.

Far light in the car is necessary for lighting the roadside and road at a distance of 100 meters, allowing the driver to respond to obstacles in a timely manner. The headlights emit a narrow -directional flow of light.

Near light covers parts of the roadside and the road in front of a vehicle at a distance of about 60 m. It will not blind the counter transport. Mad light headlights do not go forward, but down.

daylight is used to designate vehicles in the daytime.Initially, it was used in the mend light. But today, all new cars are equipped with daytime running lights from the factory.

light sources

the most affordable in price are the headlights with halogen lamps. They differ in a simple design, resistance to vibrations, a good level of luminosity. The life of such light sources usually does not exceed 2 thousand hours.

xenon lamps have a brightness that is close to sunlight. They guarantee good lighting at night, are economical, and the resource can reach 10 thousand hours. The cost of xenon lamps is significantly higher than halogen. Xenon is only allowed in headlights with a lensed reflector, otherwise they will blind the oncoming flux of transport.

LED headlights provide a block that includes several LEDs. They are characterized by high glow intensity with minimal electricity consumption. The service life exceeds 10 thousand hours. The main drawback is the high price. Also, in the case of failure of one diode, the entire block is subject to replacement. LED headlights, like xenon, are completed with lenses.

How to choose front headlights?

Selection of front headlights will be based on the following factors:

• Vehicle model - design should include the use of a specific type of headlight;
• Operating conditions - if the car is regularly operated in bad weather, off -road, more powerful lighting is required;
• Budget - if it is limited, you can buy headlights with a standard reflector and halogen lamps, their characteristics are sufficient to safely move public roads.
