Automotive Lighting is dedicated to providing best
in-class products and services in the Aftermarket and
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) market. We are
committed to providing the highest quality standards
while we constantly maintain the sustainability of our
business. As such, the corner stone of Philips Lighting
Environmental Management is the maintenance of the right
balance between ecological impact and economic growth.
In poor lighting situations such as bad weather and
darkness, accidents can increase by over 80%. So if you
want maximum safety for yourself, your passengers and
other road users, you need to have the best safety
technology.
Philips lighting promotes "active" safety protection to
prevent accidents by increasing overall visibility and
illumination. This allows drivers to see and be seen
better, further down the road, so that they can avoid
potential hazards. When combined with passive vehicle
safety features, Philips active safety lighting
solutions help enhance overall driver confidence and
promote a safer driving experience.
UV Quartz glass for optimal lamp performance
UV Quartz Glass provides more light on the road as well
as the highest level of resistance to vibrations,
extremes of temperature, and risks of explosion. Philips
UV-blocking Quartz Glass filters out the ultraviolet
rays that are potentially damaging to modern plastic
head lighting units.
Advantages:
More light on the road
By implementing UV-blocking quartz glass, Philips
increases the pressure inside the bulb and consequently
generates more light (e.g.: 50% with its VisionPlus
lamp).
Better resistance
Only an illuminated quartz glass bulb (filament at
2650°C and glass at 800°C) is capable of withstanding
severe thermal shocks.
Xenon HID: A revolution in automotive lighting
Current and future market trends in the headlight sector
are towards greater safety through better vision and
towards greater economy through longer service life and
aerodynamic design. The market demands economical
products, longer service life, higher luminous power and
resistance to vibrations. Philips, a proven supplier of
lighting systems, has refined the technology of the
gas-discharge lamp and electronic control units and
offers an innovative solution for automotive
applications: Xenon HID Lighting.
Xenon HID is a system integrating 3 carefully
matched components:
a micro gas-discharge lamp serves as light source,
an electronic unit controls ignition and operation,
carefully matched headlights ensure optimum luminous
effect.
Advantages:
The quantity of light is up to 3 times more, at half the
energy consumption of halogen lamps, Its lifetime is
extended by a factor of 7,
The system emits a daylight colour impression,
The system allows for a highly compact headlight design,
Last but certainly not least, there is immediate light
after switching.
