Why H.I.D. lamps and what are the advantages of H.I.D.?



H.I.D. Xenon lighting systems have many advantages over standard landing lights and conventional Halogen landing lights: Greater light output in addition to lower power consumption. A 35 Watt H.I.D. lamp produces up to 3 times the lumens at the light source when compared to a 55 Watt halogen bulb and 5 times the lumens of a 100 Watt incandescent lamp. A 100 watt sealed beam lamp uses a continuous power draw of about 8 amps at 12 volts. The H.I.D.

What is an ISP?

ISP stands for Integrated or Illuminated Switch Panel. IDD uses this abbreviation for panels (lightplates) that have switches built into them. Generally they are used as bezels and keyboards, although, IDD manufactures an array of custom Human Machine Interface panels. Similar high volume precision manufacturing processes are used for lightplates and integrated switch panels.If you want to store the energy that you produce the easiest most efficient way is to use a car battery or even cheaper a yard vehicle battery which cost $17.00 at your local Walmart. This battery will store incredibly large amounts of energy. If you setup LED lighting for your house - you can run it from the 12V battery.

What is the difference between D1S and D2S bulbs?

H.I.D. D1S lamps are the so called third generation design. They have the igniter electronics/housing integrated with the bulb eliminating the need for transporting high tension spikes (up to 20 KV) from the electronic ballast unit whereas in the D2S lamps, the igniter is part of the ballast. The result of this improvement is that EMI is greatly reduced and therefore the risk for radio frequency noise and interference to other avionics is minimized with the third generation D1S lamps.H.I.

Is there a Warranty for the conversion kit and components?

The XeVision H.I.D. lighting system is covered by a 5-years or 3,000 hours (whichever occurs first) for 35 watt systems and 2000 hours for 50 watt systems limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and conditions. The warranty is void if the cause of damage or failure is, but not limited to, abuse, neglect, improper installation, or operation use other than the intended application, accidents, natural disasters, or acts of God.One piece plastic panels. These panels typically use front replaceable post lamps for illumination.

What is LED Technology?

The term LED is short for light emitting diode, a diode that produces light. LED's are actually semiconductor chips made from silicone laced with elements like gallium. When low voltage electricity is passed through the microchip, it gives off a light. The material that the silicone is laced with determines the color of the light.

How can I light up the Annex easily?

New LED lighting in strips sewn on to the Silver reflective canvas with Velcro backing is available in 1.2m lengths that are perfect for the Annex area.The illumination level is controlled via power regulation from the lighting dimming controller unit/units to each illuminated panel. As the pilot dims or brightens the panels via a single control or control per logical area in the cockpit, the dimming controller units send out a uniform amount of current to each panel to achieve consistency in lighting for brightness and uniformity.
