Xenon lights: the chief culprit of road "light pollution"?


When I was driving in the evening, the oncoming car suddenly shot two beams of light. I immediately felt a white flower in front of me and could not see the road. Once I immediately braked, if the speed of the trailing car was not fast, it caused a rear-end collision. When talking about the lights from the opposite side when driving at night, Mr. Chen, who has been driving for more than 10 years, has a lingering fear. The reporter was informed that in recent years, more and more car owners have been converted to cars with high-intensity xenon lamps. However, due to the lack of relevant national policies and regulations, resulting in non-standard installation and use, Xenon lights have repeatedly become the chief culprit in the production of road light pollution.

CPPCC member: Restricted use of high-intensity xenon lamp

At the recent Foshan CPPCC meeting, many CPPCC members proposed that they should abuse the xenon lamp; Dongfeng Nissan Foshan Xiongfeng store said that the original Xenon lamp of the vehicle meets the safety standards, but the owner is not recommended to do the Xenon lamp modification.

CPPCC member Zhu Xinjin submitted a proposal at the Foshan CPPCC meeting this year, "Prohibiting the use of high-intensity xenon lamps for cars, and the road traffic safety environment in Foshan City." The proposal pointed out that when driving normally at night, the Xenon lights of the vehicles in front suddenly shot a bright light. Strong light, high intensity light can easily lead to driver's instant blindness, and can only return to normal after 20 to 30 seconds. This short tens of seconds may cause unexpected traffic accidents.

He said that the traffic regulations only set a minimum for the brightness of the lights, and the upper limit is still blank. It is recommended that the relevant departments consider the safety of drivers and the safety requirements of the citizens, safeguard the interests of the vast majority of people, and restrict the private installation, modification and use of xenon headlights, especially Xenon high-beam lights, in order to reduce the private sector’s interests. Hidden dangers of traffic accidents. And issue relevant regulations or regulations as soon as possible to regulate the use of xenon lamps, and also the road traffic safety environment at night.

The reporter learned that the state has no relevant technical standards and regulations for vehicle xenon lamps, but has previously made detailed regulations on the use of xenon lamps in vehicles in Jiangsu, Wuhan and Shenzhen.

Insiders: It is not advisable to kill with a stick

Regarding the merits of xenon lamps, Feng Weixiong, the after-sales manager of Dongfeng Nissan Foshan Xiongfeng Store, said that the problem caused by the use of xenon lamps is caused by non-standard modifications and user quality, and as a xenon lamp itself is still advanced. Car equipment. He told reporters that the Xenon lamp has the advantage of three times the brightness compared to the traditional halogen lamp. It has a wide field of view with super long and super wide angle, which has obvious clarity for improving the visibility of driving sight at night and in the fog. The effect can greatly reduce the traffic accident rate; at the same time, the service life of the xenon lamp is longer than that of the halogen bulb, and there are many advantages such as low energy consumption, strong power saving, good color temperature and the like. According to surveys conducted by relevant departments, more than 80% of traffic accidents occur at night or in poor lighting conditions, especially the lack of lighting of the headlights is an important cause of traffic accidents. The Xenon lamp with excellent illumination can solve this problem and greatly increase the safety factor of driving.

Feng Weixiong told reporters that the current Xenon lamp is still a relatively high-end configuration in the configuration of the vehicle. For example, in the Dongfeng Nissan Trent model, only the highest configuration is equipped with Xenon headlights.

Reminder: Randomly modify hidden dangers

The reporter then learned from the Foshan car modification market that the cost of changing the headlights of the vehicle to xenon lamps is about one thousand yuan, but the xenon bulbs provided by many modified shops are not completely in line with the original lights, if the original lights are to be used. Changing to a xenon lamp requires changing the original headlights.

Feng Weixiong, the sales manager of Xiongfeng franchise store, said that the disturbing lights were actually issued by Xenon lamps that were not installed. Many of these Xenon lights were due to the lack of lenses when retrofitting. When the lights are turned on, they are extremely glaring, causing an instantaneous blind spot. Although the time is only four or five seconds, a blind spot of white flowers is very dangerous for other night drivers. At present, many car owners who violate the regulations or use the Xenon lamps with strong brightness are more common. The xenon lamp is not as bright as possible. The color temperature of the halogen lamp can be from 2300K to 7000K; the color temperature of the xenon lamp is from 4200K to over 8000K. The higher the color temperature of the lamp, the less penetrating it is for fog and rain.

Feng Weixiong said that the 4S shop does not recommend that the owner change the halogen lamp into a xenon lamp. Since there are few xenon lamps on the market that match the original model, the modified headlights are likely to have water leakage problems, and the modified xenon lamps often need to be equipped with current boosting equipment, causing the vehicle circuit current to be too high. Bad circuits and even the possibility of self-ignition of vehicles. Feng Weixiong said that if the owner is dissatisfied with the original headlights, it is not only a choice for modifying the xenon lamp. For the Dongfeng Nissan model, it can be replaced with a high-brightness bulb that the manufacturer advocates to use, which can increase the brightness of the lamp by 30%. .
