HID50 - Hard Core Lighting
50 watt HIDs for ultra high performance applications
Definition of HID
High intensity Discharge lighting is light from a plasma discharge rather than a filament. The system involves a combined igniter and ballast to start the light and maintain the current, and certain gases and metal salts to create the light. Overall the system uses less energy than halogen lighting, while producing 4 times more light per watt. HID lights are sometimes referred to as Xenon bulbs, due to the presence of Xenon gas between the electrodes. Note that some halogen bulbs contain small amounts of Xenon (up to 5%) and accordingly brand themselves as "Xenon lights", but they are not High Intensity Discharge lamps and do not put out greater light than standard halogen bulbs.
How HID lights
work ?
High Intensity Discharge Lights do not have a filament. Instead light is created from an electrical discharge between two electrodes in a micro-environment of xenon gas and metal halide salts. The light is emitted by an electrically energized gas - a plasma discharge - formed and sustained between the two electrodes. For more information go to the page below "Light Power and Colour."

Note that we do not claim to be legal experts and can give no advice as to the legality of operating any HID conversion (35 watt or 50 watt) or any other lighting modification due to the widely varying road regulations in different regions and countries. As with any aftermarket accessory, its up to the buyer to determine how he uses the HID kit. For the record, we sell HIDs for off road and farm use, underwater lighting, photographic and film lighting. Using them on a road vehicle is very much the responsibility of the user.
Note: Some headlight reflectors designed for halogen bulbs do not react well to the HID light and occasionally after prolonged use, some marking of the reflectors may occur. Fitment of HID conversions and any associated after-effects are solely the responsibility of the buyer.
