Wattage (W)	HID Light Output – Lumens (lm)*	Halogen Light Output – Lumens (lm)*
55W (brightest)	8000lm	1400lm

Which hid color temperature is the best?

There are seven “K”s for HID color temperature: 3000K, 4300K, 5000K, 6000K, 8000K, 10000K and 12000K. the lower number with the longest wavelength and the best penetration the light has. The penetration of 3000K and 4300K is the best, comparing to 10000K and 12000K, they are the worst.

Are 8000K HID lights legal in California?

California Headlight Law: Light Color This statute means that headlights that emit a blue light are illegal in the state. Recall that HID lights can vary in color. HID bulbs come in a variety of colors ranging from yellows (3000K to 4300K) to whites (5000K to 6000K) to blues and purples (8000K and over).

What is a hid LED bulb?

HID bulbs are enclosed tubes filled with gases, an electrode at each end, and an electric current passing through to emit light. Xenon gas is needed only at start-up but HIDs use a metal-halide mix. There are three steps in lighting an HID bulb:

Are HID headlights legal?

HID headlights that emit a blue light are illegal in the state. HID lights are also legal in California, and elsewhere in the country, if they meet the safety standards of either the U.S. Department of Transportation or Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards , which is typically indicated on the equipment.

What is a HID lamp?

HID lighting is high intensity discharge lighting. HID lamps have an arc which passes between two electrodes in a pressurized tube causing various metallic additives to vaporize and release large amounts of light.
