PIAA has advanced halogen bulb design with the introduction of its Night-Tech halogen bulb series, the company says.
According to PIAA, the Night-Tech bulbs feature several advancements in performance, durability and manufacturing. Night-Tech technology combines a higher proportion of inert gases with a new filament material, which is said to create a halogen bulb that delivers up to 90 percent more light than a conventional halogen bulb and a 50 percent longer life span.
In addition, the Night-Tech’s new combination of gases, filament material and glass coatings creates a color temperature in the 3600 Kelvin range — a light output PIAA says is whiter than standard bulbs — yet retains critical DOT/SAE approval. The company says the Night-Tech also delivers a range of up to 35 meters longer than conventional halogen bulbs.
PIAA is offering the Night-Tech bulbs in several formats, including H1, H3, H4, H7 and H11. Each 12 volt-bulb is 55 watts; the H4 Night-Tech is rated at 12 volts and 60/55 watts.
