Hella FF 1000 Xenon HID Driving Lamps

The proven performance of the FF1000, now in a Xenon version. Featuring a Free Form (FF) reflector of magnesium, the same material used in Formula 1 race cars and aerospace applications, the Hella FF1000 Xenon is very durable and built to withstand the most extreme conditions. Xenon power in a smaller size. Features the same attributes as the halogen version but with a high-intensity xenon light source. External ballast. Flexible mounting allows the lamps to be installed in almost any position. Lamp sold individually; includes Xenon D2S bulb and ballast, stone shield, mount, wiring harness and relay. Two optional brackets are available for use with the FF1000 (sold separately). The HD steel bracket is especially useful in heavy duty installations and extreme environments. Also available is a specialty bracket designed for fitting the FF1000 with the Subaru WRX (model years 2002-03) using the vehicle's OE mounting points.

Xenon Technology: The lighting of modern vehicles has not only been designed to meet legal requirements, but frequently provides a further plus in terms of performance, and therefore also safety. In spite of this, being able to see even more can often be of life-saving importance in extreme situations, as only when a hazard is recognized in good time is there sufficient time remaining to react accordingly. Xenon technology is currently the most advanced development in the field of motor vehicle lighting systems. Xenon has decisive advantages over the light of conventional light-bulbs; its improved light output makes the road brighter and illuminates a wider area. The daylight-like quality of xenon light is especially welcomed by the human eye. Drivers get tired slower and driving becomes more relaxed. This means an enormous gain in safety and driving comfort.

Xenon Technology: Benefits of Xenon light: Compared with the light from conventional bulbs, xenon light has two decisive advantages: on the one hand, a xenon bulb provides more than twice as much light as a modern H7 bulb, but consumes only about one third of the power. On the other hand, the light emitted by the xenon bulb has a color temperature which is similar to that of daylight.The additional amount of light makes the road brighter and more widely illuminated. This provides additional safety. Hazards at the side of the road in particular are recognized sooner, but also obstacles in the path of the vehicle. Pedestrians and cyclists become more visible, as also do traffic signs at the side of the road. Both the improved illumination of the road and the daylight quality of the light mean that the driver does not tire so quickly and drives in a more relaxed manner. Furthermore, xenon light increases the contrast and improves colou vision. In poor weather conditions - for example in rain, fog, or snow - the driver has a much improved spatial vision. This means that the driver's powers of orientation are less limited, in spite of adverse conditions.
