The PL245HID Spotlight has a 245mm (9") diameter case with an all metal construction. It basically has the same reflector, case, bracket and quality pistol grip handle as the PL245 Halogen Spotlight however it has a High Intensity Discharge (HID) globe, with the ballast mounted inside the case. The standard globe used in this light has a 6000K colour temperature and is 12v-24v, 35w.
Like all Powa Beam Spotlights, the PL245HID is hand focused for maximum performance and every part is replaceable.
HID lighting system stand for High Intensity Discharge Lamp. The HID lamp is a system that produces light by putting xenon gas and metal halide salts into the light emitting tube installed inside the HID lamp. The electrons inside the light emitting tube collide with the metal atoms, using 20,000 volts generated from the control system (ballast) to produce light.
Features
- Durability: Improved durability as road vibrations can cause damage to coil lighting technologies.
- Higher Colour Temp: More closely reflects that of natural daylight and improves both light intensity / reflection and light distribution, for earlier recognition of animals, people and objects.
- Longer Service Life: A HID lamp will last, on the average, at least 5 times longer than a halogen bulb. In practical terms the life span of the bulb is equal to that of the car, so the bulb should only need replacing in exceptional circumstances.
- Low Power Consumption: The standard 35w HID system produces on average 4.5 times the amount of light however it only uses approx. 3.0amps , compared to a standard 100w halogen which uses approx. 8amps.
