Innovative Lighting Technology: Bi-Xenon

Bi-Xenon lamps produce light based on the gas-discharge principle. A spark discharge between two electrodes produces an "ionised gas tube" in the Xenon gas-filled lamp piston, through which electric current flows, which in turn causes the gas to light up. The longer service life of the Xenon system can be explained by the fact that the "arc" is less sensitive to mechanical loads than the bulbs used in halogen lamps.

Bi-Xenon headlights offer advantages both for dipped beam and high beam headlights. They produce an intensive bluish light with a high illuminating power, which allows significantly better illumination of the road, particularly in bad weather conditions and in the dark.
