The color temperature of car lights has an important impact on driving experience and safety. Color temperature refers to a physical quantity of the color of the light source. It is not the case that the higher the color temperature, the higher the light temperature. It is usually expressed in Kelvin (K). Car lights with different color temperatures will give people different visual feelings and actual effects.
Low color temperature (<3000K)
Low color temperature car lights usually emit warm yellow light, which has strong penetration and is particularly suitable for use in rainy and foggy days. This light can better penetrate water vapor and fog, allowing drivers to still see the road ahead in bad weather.
However, due to the low color temperature, the brightness is also low, and high-brightness lighting cannot be provided when driving at night.
Medium color temperature (3000K-5000K)
Car lights with medium color temperature emit white light, which is close to natural light. This light has high brightness and moderate penetration. It is a common choice for many xenon lamps and is suitable for most driving environments.
However, car lights with this type of color temperature are not as penetrating as low color temperature lights in extreme weather.
High color temperature (>5000K)
High color temperature headlights emit bluish-white light, with extremely high brightness and excellent visual effects, suitable for clear nights.
However, the penetration is poor in rainy and foggy weather. This light can easily dazzle drivers on the opposite side, increasing safety hazards.
Optimal color temperature selection
Considering brightness, penetration and safety, headlights with a color temperature between 4300K and 6500K are the best choice. The color temperature in this range can provide sufficient brightness and maintain good penetration in most weather conditions.
Around 4300K: Headlights with this color temperature emit white light, close to natural light, with high brightness and moderate penetration, and are a common choice for many xenon lamps.
5000K-6500K: Headlights with this color temperature emit white light, high brightness, and good visual effects, but have poor penetration in rainy and foggy weather.
Headlights with different color temperatures have their own advantages and disadvantages in lighting applications. Choosing the right color temperature can improve driving safety and comfort. In practical applications, the appropriate color temperature should be selected according to the specific driving environment and needs to achieve the best lighting effect.
