  • Headlamp Lens Deterioration
    DECEMBER 2018 HEADLAMP LENS DETERIORATION NewsRoom.AAA.com (this page intentionally left blank) 0 Headlamp Lens Deterioration Abstract The average age of registered vehicles in the United States is 11.6 years. Headlamp lenses made of polycarbonate, or plastic, begin to yellow and otherwise show signs of deterioration at five years age (± two). Plastic lenses on automotive headlamps deteriorate due primarily to extended exposure to ultraviolet radiation and abrasion by road grit. The yellowing of the headlamp lenses results in a noticeable decrease in light output. Deteriorated headlamps – when the lens is opaque to the extent that the bulb is not clearly visible – are a safety hazard. This research quantifies the reduction in light output caused by deteriorated (yellowed) headlamp lenses as well as comparing the relative performance of headlamp repair and restoration options available to the consumer. Research Questions: 1. On a vehicle with deteriorated headlamp lenses, how much is light output diminished? 2. Of the options available for headlamp restoration and/or replacement, which one improves light output the most? a. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement headlamp assembly b. Aftermarket replacement headlamp assembly (certified and non-certified) c. Professional restoration d. Do-it-yourself (DIY) restoration Key Findings: 1. Deteriorated headlamps evaluated in this research produced only 22 percent light output (low beam) when compared with new, OEM headlight assemblies. This type of headlamp, halogen reflector, only supports night-time driving (low beam) on unlit roadways at speeds up to 39 miles per hour, when in new condition. A 78 percent reduction in forward lighting is a safety hazard.

  • Do High-Intensity Discharge Headlamps Cause Glare?
    Do High-Intensity Discharge Headlamps Cause Glare? n 2001, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) asked the public to submit Icomments about headlight glare and visibility. By April 2002, NHTSA had received more than 1700 responses! The LRC is assisting NHTSA and headlamp manufactur- ers as they weigh the benefits of high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps and the obstacles they face as the technology matures. The LRC’s work with HID headlamps We have worked with Philips Automotive Lighting to study the effect of HID headlamps on forward visibility. Our work, featured on NBC Nightly News and in USA Today, shows that HID headlamps improve peripheral target detection versus conventional halogen headlamps. In order to understand better how headlamp intensity and spectrum affect visual discomfort, we completed a prelimi- nary study of headlamp glare using halogen, HID, and blue-filtered halogen lamps. Subjects rated their discom- fort levels (1=unbearable, 9=just noticeable) and identified the minimum contrast of objects that were visible with each glare source. The results showed that • Headlamps with more short-wavelength light (~450 nm) resulted in greater discomfort than lamps with less short- wavelength content. Implications • There were no differences among the headlamps in terms If validated in the field, these results could be used to of the minimum contrast that was detectable in the optimize the spectra of HID headlamps to minimize short- presence of glare. wavelength (~450 nm) light while increasing light in the scotopic (~510 nm) region, which could minimize discomfort while improving peripheral detection. NHTSA and headlamp manufacturers will need to continue working together to identify headlamp characteristics that are optimal for visibility while reducing potential for glare.

Page 2 of 66 www.PDHcenter.com PDHonline Course E423 www.PDHonline.org Introduction Gas-discharge lamps are light sources that generate light by sending an electrical discharge through an ionized gas. The character of the gas discharge depends on the pressure of the gas as well as the frequency of the current. High-intensity discharge (HID) lighting provides the highest efficacy and longest service life of any lighting type. It can save 75%-90% of lighting energy when it replaces incandescent lighting. Figure 1 shows a typical high-intensity discharge lamp. In a high-intensity discharge lamp, electricity arcs between two electrodes, creating an intensely bright light. Usually a gas of mercury, sodium, or metal halide acts as the conductor. HID lamps use an electric arc to produce intense light. Like fluorescent lamps, they require ballasts. They also take up to 10 minutes to produce light when first turned on because the ballast needs time to establish the electric arc.
