Headlights
Gas-emitting headlights
(optional)
The gas-emitting (Xenon) headlights
work with an electric arc saturated
with Xenon gas under pressure,
instead of the incandescent filament.
The light produced is markedly
superior to that of traditional light
bulbs, in terms of quality (brighter
light) as well as of the span and
positioning of the area illuminated.
The advantages offered by better
lighting are perceptible (less eye strain
and increased orientation for the
driver and thus driving safety)
especially in the case of bad weather,
fog and/or insufficient road indications
owing to the broader illumination of
the side zones, which are normally left
in the dark.
The much broader illumination of the
side zones markedly increases driving
safety as it offers the driver better
detection of other persons on the side
of the road (pedestrians, bicycle riders
and motorcycle drivers).
The electric arc requires very high
voltage for striking, but afterwards
power is supplied at a lower voltage.
The headlights reach maximum
brightness about 0.5 seconds after
being switched on.
The strong light produced by this type
of headlight requires the use of an
automatic system to keep the position
of the headlights constant and to
prevent glare for approaching cars, in
the case of braking, acceleration or
load transport.
The electromechanical system for
automatically maintaining the correct
position of the luminous beam makes
the presence of the manual version
unnecessary.
The Xenon headlights are very long-
life.
