Xenon or Halogen: Are they xenon blubs or halogen bulbs?

I just (May 2014) received my reordered of these, and to confuse things even more, their package now says "XENON/HALOGEN". The package also says "DO NOT TOUCH LAMP", which probably means that these are high-pressure halogen bulbs and not low-pressure xenon bulbs.

I can't answer that because I haven't used the xenon bulb. Sorry I couldn't help out there. The batteries last a long time with the LED bulb though.

Yes, halogen bulbs are low voltage, which is what makes them so much more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs, but the output of light is incredibly strong. IDEAL for a desk lamp that takes halogen bulbs with 2 prongs. The only caution about Halogen bulbs is that they get very hot and must be installed wearing gloves, so oils from the skin don't touch the bulb.

Yes they are 12 v supplied to s transformer that boosts voltage to 50,000 volts, ad long as you hsve a dry locstion for thr transformer and a housing for the xenon bulb , it should work fine,

They are much brighter than a regular bulb but are not real blue. I think you have to get a Xenon bulb for that. THere are protective films you can buy to give non-Xenon headlights the blue tinge you are looking for. Try headlightarmor.com.

Hi Patricia, mine came with the Xenon lights... I use a dimmer... it gives off plenty of light... not sure why the LED version costs more.

The color is a little more white vs typical yellow from standard halogen but not white-white like xenon HID gas arc bulbs. It is worth it to buy xenons with their ballasts for safest night driving

YES. It is simply a matter of checking your manual or having an auto store give you a quote with the proper application. These bulbs are still working great; after a year? now- and lots of usage (put many miles on my car/ night driving too) These are for Xenon systems----you know.

I use them for the new Xenon HID H11 6000K replacement bulbs...no problem at all...well recommended..

It doenst even come with HID bulbs, they are regular xenon. If you want to upgrade you will need the ballast and bulbs.

You have tp choose the bulb type and make sure it says bi xenon thats the high low

It is, I believe a halogen. I have very good success with 1000bulbs.com I order all the bulbs I use in my business from them and they are comparatively less expensive.

Xenon G8 lights are what we are using under our cabinets, they are warm but not near as hot as the original halogen lights. We have had the G8s for five years.

These are bi-xenon projectors. they have a flap that controls how much light is let out from the bulb aka high beam and low beam. The bulb never changes output

It would be reccomeded that you use xenon for your low beams. Reason being is because the xenon headlight take time to warm up, and when you turn them on, they'll get brighter as they warm up. Better to have a halogen for your brights so they'll come on instantly. Also xenon lights will require a wiring harness so it is too much of a hassle to put in 2 different sets of xenon lights

I don't have any measurements of the wattage nor the lumen output, but I can confidently say that it doesn't produce as much light as the OE xenon bulb it replaced for 3x the price. Granted I probably will never have to replace this unit, but light output from a flashlight is an important characteristic to me. I was disappointed

both can be used. xenon seem to be halogen and HID while the bixenon seem to be mainly HID. presently I am using the bulbs that came with the headlamps, but i have used HID with them also.
