The first car headlights turned out to be so

Over a hundred years of the birth of the automobile, but also the ability of human technology advances of the era. With the arrival of the age of electricity, electrical components on the car has undergone tremendous changes, including the development of vehicle headlights undoubtedly the most representative and evolved.
Early cars are no headlights? ?
Whether 1885 Benz developed the worlds first three-wheeled car carriage, or the same year German Gothic Philip Daimler invention first four-wheel car, early automobile inventors primary consideration is how to make cars go fast and stable before, instead of lighting, so they do not have to install a decent car lights.

The worlds first car "Benz One", which is not equipped with lights seen from the figure.
Really spread to the lights on the car comes from the carriage transplant, before the invention of the lightbulb most mainstream lighting tool - kerosene lamp! It is from the beginning kerosene lamps, car headlights along with the tide began to gradually upgrade the electrical revolution.
Counting from kerosene lamps, car headlights gone through an acetylene lamp, incandescent / halogen lamps, xenon lights, LED lights and the most advanced laser headlights, roughly six age.

Use kerosene Age Period: 1886 - 1904
When the car had just been born, almost what features are not, let alone lights up. It is said that in 1887, when a pilot lost in the dark wilderness, a farmer with a portable lamp lead him home. This is known as the oldest automobile lighting tool.

Over a hundred years of the birth of the automobile, but also the ability of human technology advances of the era. With the arrival of the age of electricity, electrical components on the car has undergone tremendous changes, including the development of vehicle headlights undoubtedly the most representative and evolved.

Still rely on the combustion of acetylene light emitting era use periods: 1905 - 1925, although the first one will be used as vehicle headlights incandescent models was born back in 1898, but trapped in the carbon filament fragile life and car generators immature technology and other factors, higher brightness, relatively mature and stable acetylene lamp became one of the preferred vehicle headlamp
Into the "New Age" period of use incandescent era: 1925-present
Although early in 1898, the Colombian electric company launched an electric car equipped with tungsten. But, as previously mentioned, slender filaments easily break in the bumpy road, coupled with motor generator volume is too large, the current shortage, which is an acetylene lamp can be used until 1925 as long as the reason.
Later as the technology matures incandescent, halogen in the 1950s have also been invented.
Since ordinary incandescent light brightness in general, inefficient and prolonged use causes the tungsten black shade, in order to overcome this shortcoming people invented a halogen lamp, which is the combination of chlorine and iodine, two of them by injecting gas lamp chamber body, using the principle of the elimination of halogen cycle lamp body black phenomenon. This is still used today is still the mainstream of the "ancient" technology.

At this point, a total of incandescent era gone through 100 years of history. Today, the challenge is to a halogen lamp has a higher brightness, less power consumption, more durable new technology lamps: Xenon lamp.
Upgraded halogen headlights "Xenon headlights" Using Period: 1992-present
Just as people on the vehicle speed and comfort of the endless pursuit of the same, with halogen headlight technology to the limit, higher brightness, lower power consumption and longer life of xenon headlights technology was invented. Xenon (HID) that is high-pressure gas discharge lamp. Xenon is a heavy metal lamp, by filling a variety of chemical gases within the UV crystal quartz glass tube, an inert gas such as xenon, and then through the booster car 12 volt power instantly increased to 23,000 volts, at a high voltage xenon It will be ionized and between the power poles to produce light.
In 1992, Bosch and Hella separately released its first subsidiary xenon headlights technology, and released in 1992 (chassis, codenamed E32) is the worlds first use of xenon headlamps models.
The second generation provide the first xenon beam lights as an option
Ascendant LED headlight technology use: 2004-present
While the LED is not anything new, but has been used in vehicle lighting but not so simple. For motor vehicle, LED light source (not limited to the headlights) has the following advantages: energy saving, long life durability, LED components, small size, compact layout and easy to design, fast response, low attenuation, brightness and so on.

As early as 2008 LS models on the first use of LED lamps as headlight of a vehicle, from beginning the LED light source as a headlamp chapter. After all manufacturers have begun to follow up the use of LED, which is the most widely used LED width lamp.

Become the worlds first car equipped with laser headlight technology production model

One hundred years since the birth of the automobile, the development of lights never stopped over the pace. As an important vehicle technology, vehicle headlamp has exceeded the scope of common functional components, and automotive design and traffic safety functions are closely related, and with advances in technology, the lights will continue the story, let us wait for the new headlight technology has brought us more surprises it.
