Any car is equipped with headlights of the near and high beam... Lighting system is an integral part of every car. The better the beam of light, the easier it is for the driver to analyze the traffic situation. There is no need to explain how the quality of the headlights affects the number of accidents at night. Now a lamp with an H1 base is widespread. In this article we will talk about what types of lighting solutions are and what are their features.

Base characteristic

It should be noted that this is not the only type of base that is used in the vehicle lighting system.

In addition to the H1 marking, the lamp can be H7, H11, H4 and other varieties. In our case, a product with such a plinth is installed in:

• High beam.
• Near.
• Fog lights.

Varieties

There is a difference between the actual design of the lamp. There are several types of products:

• LED bulbs H1.
• Xenon.
• Halogen.

The latter were born before anyone else. We will talk about them below.

Halogen

First light bulbs of this type were of the linear type. Initially, an inert gas was used in the design. Over time, the design of the product has been improved. H1 halogen lamps are now a glass bottle with a buffer gas inside.

Usually these are bromine vapors or iodine halogens. For the first time, such a design was introduced by the engineers of the German company OSRAM. The peak of the popularity of the products fell on the 80s and 90s. On some budget cars with an H1 base, the lamp is still used.

How it works?

This product is powered by the vehicle's on-board network. The electricity that is supplied to the lamp passes through the tungsten coil. As a result, it becomes hot and illuminates the diffuser. A beam of light is directed onto the roadway. A halogen lamp with an H1 base works in conditions of high temperatures. Only under this condition will the spiral illuminate the road well.

Why is halogen a thing of the past?

Since such a lamp is very hot, its service life is no more than a thousand hours. With the introduction of new laws that oblige you to drive with the dipped headlights on, using such optics is simply unprofitable. It quickly burns out and fails. Also, many car owners do not like the glow temperature.

The H1 auto lamp shines in the range from one and a half to three thousand Kelvin. This is ordinary daylight, often giving off yellowness. Light output characteristics are no more than 22 lumens per watt. Even modern products are not able to shine white like LED and xenon counterparts. But about them a little later.

It is worth noting that the Philips H1 or OSRAM halogen lamp is one of the cheapest on the market. Analogs with a white glow are several times more expensive. Also, the daylight produced by the tungsten filament does not affect the diffuser. It does not fade even when the lamp is heated too high.

Xenon

Now let's talk about the difference between H1 xenon bulbs. They appeared relatively recently. They began to gain great popularity after the 2000s. The principle of xenon operation is based on the ignition of an electric arc.

Inside glass flask there is a special gas - xenon (hence the name). The product has two electrodes, which, when interacting with the gas, generate a huge beam of light. It is worth noting that the normal on-board network of a car is not able to turn on H1 xenon lamps. For this, the ignition unit is used. It generates a voltage of 25 kW. As a result, the lamp produces good and bright light. It is 3-4 times more powerful than its halogen counterparts.

As for the temperature of the light flux, it ranges from 4 to 6 thousand Kelvin. The characteristics of the H1 xenon low beam bulb are noteworthy.

Xenon features

Why did he become so popular? This optics is highly efficient. H1 lamps of this type are capable of "piercing" any fog. They illuminate the road especially well in the rain, where halogen is simply useless. The service life of these products is up to 2.5 thousand hours. All due to the lower heating temperature. If in halogen lamps 40 percent of the energy is converted into heat, then in xenon lamps - only 7.

About disadvantages

Xenon is not always legal. If you install such optics not at a specialized service station and without paperwork, a fine is imposed for this. Also, if this xenon is not original, you will not be able to pass the technical inspection. In other CIS countries, such tuning does not provide for such fines. In Russia, you can drive with xenon only if it is installed at the factory. The next disadvantage is the complexity of the installation.

Since lighting the lamp requires special unit, it needs to be placed somewhere. Often they drill a hole in the back cover of the headlight and run the wires. The unit itself is installed outside the headlight, in the engine compartment. If a lamp is used with an H1 base in foglights, it is important to achieve tightness of all connections. Otherwise, the PTF will flood at the first rain. As for the cost, the original xenon (kit) can be purchased for 5-10 thousand rubles. Halogen headlights benefit in this regard. And, of course, after installation, it is required to re-adjust so as not to blind oncoming drivers.

H1 LED Bulbs

A couple of years ago, LED solutions appeared on the market. This is a completely new, revolutionary development.

LED lamps are developing at a rapid pace. The element consists of a crystalline semiconductor mechanism and an optical system. Also in this lamp there is a non-conductive substrate with contacts. The distance between the crystal and the lens is filled with transparent silicone. Such an H1 lamp does not heat up, while providing a wide range of glow temperatures - from 1500 to 6000 K. There is no need to use an additional ignition unit. The element is installed in place of a standard lamp. The main plus is legality. LED products are not prohibited in the Russian Federation and can be installed on any car. At the same time, the headlight does not blind oncoming drivers. It costs the same as xenon solutions.

Problem spots of LEDs

It would seem that H1 LED lamps combine all the advantages of xenon, while being easy to install and absolutely legal. But it is worth noting one feature of diodes. These are power surges. Surely you installed similar products in size. After a few months, they stopped working. But how can this be, because the service life of LEDs is 10 years?

It's simple - the element is afraid of power surges that so often occur in the car. Therefore, modern LED solutions are equipped with regulators, or "drivers", which stabilize this parameter of the on-board network. But even with these devices, the service life of the products is no more than a year. In addition to voltage surges, LEDs are very afraid of overheating. If you buy such lamps, then only with additional radiators.

Without them, the product will quickly fail. And even with such radiators, the LEDs can easily fit inside the headlight itself, without additional alterations. This is a big plus.

What is the bottom line?

So, we found out what kind of lamps there are with an H1 base. What should a motorist choose? It is rather difficult to answer this question. Halogen is obsolete and xenon is not always legal. But the future is definitely with LEDs. In a couple of years, they will oust xenon solutions from the market. After all, the device of LED lamps is constantly being improved. Additional radiators and voltage regulators appeared. You can take a chance and buy such lamps now. But, judging by the reviews, they will last no more than a year.

Alternatively, you can use reinforced halogen lamps marked White or +130. These products are distinguished by a higher glow temperature (close to xenon), while illuminating the road no worse than modern diode counterparts. Philips is worth mentioning as a manufacturer. The company manufactures high-quality lamps with H1 base and acceptable luminescence characteristics.

H1 halogen lamps were originally used for headlights, but today they are most often used to equip low beam and fog lights... Today manufacturers offer wide choose H1 lamps, which are characterized by increased luminous flux... Thanks to good brightness, it was possible to achieve increase illumination distance. Standard power such lamps are 55 watts.

Headlights are one of the most important elements in the design of any car. And the point here is not only that without light it is difficult, even practically impossible, to move along the roads at night. Lighting equipment has a serious impact on safety road traffic... And the best thing is to keep it in good condition. Today, many car owners are thinking about choosing auto light elements. These are light bulbs. One of the most popular is the H1 lamp. These products are used in low and high beam headlamps.

And it would seem, what difficulties can you face when choosing car lamps? It is enough just to purchase the option that was previously installed on the car. And this is the whole point - earlier halogen light was installed in cars, and today there are already more technologically advanced LED and xenon solutions. Consider the advantages, characteristics and types existing products on the market.

H1: most popular auto lamp

Today it is one of the most popular in automotive lighting devices. It can often be found in four-headlight systems. Previously, these products were used only for low beam or high beam. Then came H7 lamps. They were designed for the latest generation of optical equipment. These products have higher technical characteristics... In this regard, the H1 lamp is now used mainly in high-beam devices and in foglights.

How the H1 bulb works

As for the technical side of the issue, products with an H1 base are classified as flanged. They can be characterized by tighter tolerances for the location of the working element - here the spirals are relative to the flange. This allows the bulb to be placed in focus of the headlamp optic and at the correct distance from the reflective element. Products intended for installation in floodlights or automotive headlight optics are equipped with a compactly coiled spiral for the main beam or a spiral stretched along the optical axis. Such solutions are typical for products with H3 plinths. The H1 type is now actively used in modern cars.

Types of H1 lamps

Modern industry today produces several types of automotive lighting sources. They are divided into four types. So, these are classic products (incandescent) that function according to the principle of an ordinary Ilyich light bulb.

You can also select H1. This is the same filament part of the traditional design. However, the flask is made of refractory quartz glass and in addition filled inert gas with the addition of halogen elements iodine and bromine. This design made it possible to significantly increase the resource and light output. While the market is overflowing with LED and xenon solutions, halogen light is still popular with car enthusiasts because of its consumer qualities and cost. Nowadays LED solutions are very popular. These are solid-state light sources based on semiconductor crystals. The H1 LED bulbs are the latest in automotive technology. These solutions have excellent prospects. They are resistant to shocks and mechanical vibrations. But the minus is the price and the risk of purchasing a low-quality product. Also on the market are previously popular xenon lamps. Here, it is used as a light source. It arises between two electrodes located in a flask filled with an inert gas - xenon.

Halogen light: details

As noted above, this lamp is a flask containing an inert gas - bromine or iodine vapor. The flask itself is made of special quartz glass. During operation, halogen filaments become very hot, and quartz glass can withstand the impact not only high temperatures but also the effect of chemicals.

Halogen light: application and characteristics

Such a lamp H1 today is installed mainly in foglights.

The shape of the flask is short, flattened on the sides, with a long base. The operating voltage of such light sources is 12 V. The rated power is 55 W. The maximum possible color temperature can reach up to 4000 K. The lamp does not scatter the light beam, but allows you to direct it directly onto the road.

Advantages and disadvantages

The first advantage is a fairly high light output. It is 60% higher than that of incandescent lamps. Halogen light has a yellowish tint. This improves visibility, especially in adverse conditions. High brightness allows the headlamp to effectively illuminate not only the roadway, but also the shoulder. The pluses include the resource. It is higher than that of analogues. The disadvantages include high operating temperatures. Also, a halogen lamp is not economical. It consumes a lot of energy.

Xenon auto lamps

These products have replaced halogen lighting and have become very popular due to their characteristics. They are much better than halogen ones. The basis of such a product is a flask, inside of which there is an inert gas - xenon.

There is no traditional filament here. Light is created as a result of electrical impulses that travel between the electrodes. Such a lamp requires a high-voltage pulse to operate. This is the only way to ignite an electric arc. Therefore, the H1 xenon lamps themselves do not use, and they can work only if there is additional equipment.

Why is a xenon lamp better than a halogen lamp?

The first type of product emits significantly more light than a halogen one. In addition, the amount of energy required to operate is much lower. Therefore, the load on car generator smaller. The light that the H1 xenon lamp gives is reminiscent of daylight. Drivers have much better control traffic situation... The luminous flux is so powerful and bright that the headlight illuminates not only the roadway itself, but also roadside signs and markings. Xenon lamps H1 is classified according to the color temperature value. So, white-yellow light corresponds to a temperature of 4300-4500 K. White is 4500-5000 K, white-blue glow - 5500-800 K. Blue - 8000 K - 12000 K. The approximate resource of xenon lamps is 3000 hours, while , as halogen products shine no more than 400. The only disadvantage of xenon is that not every headlight is designed to work with these lamps. For self-installed xenon, the traffic police have introduced penalties and actively punish violators for this type of tuning.

Therefore, for lovers of bright light, it is better and safer to use LED lamp H1. Abnormal xenon, installed independently and, most often, in violation of all possible standards, blinds oncoming drivers, which leads to an accident.

LED

These products are the most modern and progressive.

Many automakers today complete their cars with this kind of light. Even the most expensive models are equipped today.Any car light bulb for cars with LED elements is designed for operating voltage at 12 V. As for the plinths, their a large number of... For H1 with a power of 55 W, the brightness is 1550 lm. Manufacturers offer LED high beam products. But there is also a lamp H1 "low beam" on sale. Most often these are daytime running lights... So, with a power of at least 12 W, the light flux is about 1000 lm, provided high-quality LEDs. The high beam products use larger LEDs. The power must be at least 20 W, and the luminous flux must be at least 1500 lm. Also one of the conditions is the presence of a radiator. Products are very afraid of overheating.

And if the LED low beam H1 still somehow deserves positive feedback from drivers, then with high beam the situation is worse. At fairly high prices, the result is poor. In bad weather, visibility is poor and there are no particular advantages over a halogen lamp. In addition, you can run into a Chinese fake.

Conclusion

From all this, we can conclude that halogen light is still popular - there is a demand for these lamps. Xenon has many advantages, but requires additional equipment and professional installation... LED lamps are still "raw". Therefore, the best choice is the standard "halogens". They are inexpensive, plus everything, there are products with a white tint of light - "Phillips White". But their price is a little more expensive than usual.

H1 car bulbs Auto lamps are considered the most unified element of the car. Due to the peculiarities of operation (shock, vibration), car lamps are produced with special socles, which exclude loosening and loosening of contacts. The most widely used bulbs are H1, which are installed in four headlights. Currently, H1 lamps of all modifications are manufactured: incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, xenon and LED lamps. The market leaders are cars lamps Osram H1 as well as H1 lamps from Philips, GE, Sylvania.

Lighting devices are a very important element in the design of any vehicle. And the point is not only that without them it is impossible to travel by car in the dark. Automotive lighting have a serious impact on traffic safety, and, as a minimum, must always be in good condition, and better - in perfect condition. Therefore, the increased attention from motorists to the main component of automotive lighting - car lamps, is more than natural.

Automotive lamps are one of the most unified elements in the automotive industry. From the classic H1 incandescent bulbs to modern metal halide car bulbs, the same type of car light sources can be used in a wide variety of vehicles. The classification of lamps for cars is universal, so choosing the right device for a specific car model is usually not difficult.

High requirements are imposed on the reliability and functionality of automobile lamps: they must necessarily comply with the established state and international standards... In particular, it comes on the Regulations of the European Economic Commission (ECE), which establish the basic European standards for road safety. Confirmation of compliance with these rules is called "homologation": on homologated units and parts of vehicles, an "E" sign and a number indicating the country code are installed. The use of non-homologated vehicle components (including auto lamps) is prohibited in Europe.

Automotive lamp marking

Automotive lighting lamps are distinguished by several characteristics: the principle of operation and lamp design, base design and purpose. According to the EEC Rules, the following marking of lamps is applied: H1, H2, H3, H4, H7, HB1, HB2, HB3, HB4, D1, D2. Wherein letter designation(H, HB, D) indicates the type of lamp base. Difficult conditions in which automotive lighting devices have to work (vibration, shaking) require special design solutions. Therefore, threaded sockets in car lamps are almost never used. For fastening car lamps, sockets or spring-loaded clamps are used, which exclude loosening or twisting of the fasteners.

H1 bulbs are the most common auto bulbs

H1 car bulbs are the most popular light sources in the automotive lighting industry today. Most often they are installed in four-headlight installations. Previously, lamps of the H1 series were used only in low beam or high beam devices. However, with the advent of H7 lamps, designed for the latest generation of optics and having higher performance characteristics, H1 lamps began to be mounted in optical devices of high beam and fog lights. H7 series lamps have 20% higher luminous flux, less glare and less working temperature... Moreover, their cost is an order of magnitude higher than the cost of H1 series lamps, which also explains the high popularity of the latter.

H1 auto lamps belong to the category of flange lamps. They are usually characterized by a tight tolerance for the location of the spiral relative to the flange, which ensures their placement in the focus of the optical element and at the desired distance from the reflector. Automotive bulbs H1, designed for spotlights or headlights, have a compactly coiled high beam spiral, or a spiral stretched along the optical axis. In autolamps for fog lamps, the spiral can be perpendicular to the reflective optical axis (this is constructive solution also typical for H3 lamps). The H1 base itself is very actively used in modern cars in foglights and additional lighting.

H1 lamp types

Light sources for automotive lighting produced today can be divided into 4 types:
classic car incandescent bulbs h1 - work on the same principle as ordinary "Ilyich bulbs";
halogen lamps h1. These are incandescent lamps in which the bulb is made of refractory quartz glass and is filled with an inert gas with the addition of halogen vapors (bromine, iodine). This design significantly increases the lamp life and luminous efficacy. Today it is the most popular type of auto lamps, due to the excellent ratio of price and consumer qualities;
led car bulbs h1. Solid state light sources (semiconductor crystals) are the latest development in the world of lighting technology. In the field of automotive lighting, h1 LED bulbs hold good promise as they are immune to shock and vibration. However, so far there are only a few models of H1 LED bulbs on the market;
metal halide (xenon) lamps h1. The light source is an electric arc between electrodes located in a flask with an inert gas (xenon).

The H1 base is today equipped with autolamps of all listed types. Separately, it should be said about xenon lamps, which are the most promising light sources: almost all leading world manufacturers equip new car models with "xenon". Metal halide lamps have a high luminous efficiency and excellent reliability, lamps with color temperature from 3000K to 8000K, having a power of 35 W and 55 W. However, for their operation, a special control unit is required, which led to a rather high cost of the devices. As a rule, H1 xenon lamps are installed in high-beam headlights, sometimes in low-beam devices or fog lamps.

When choosing car lamps, in addition to the characteristics of the lamps and the type of base, you should pay attention to the manufacturer. The most famous brand in the field car light are Osram lamps. In particular, Osram H1 lamps today have one of the best lighting performance characteristics: they can provide up to 90% more luminous flux, in comparison with analogues of lesser-known companies. Also among the leaders in the production of automotive lamps are Philips, GE, Sylvania.

Lighting devices are extremely important element cars. Without them, it is generally impossible to drive a car at night or in bad weather conditions (for example, in fog). Therefore, it is important that they are of high quality and work well.

Headlights are one of the most unified devices in a car system. They are usually manufactured so that they can be used for different types of vehicles. Also, they all must meet certain standards. There are individual country and international standards. The letter "E" on the headlamp stands for the certificate, and the number stands for the country that issued it.
Therefore, lamps can be classified. The H1 lamp is the simplest in this hierarchy. The most difficult are metal halide lamps. You can choose your own headlights, regardless of whether you have a passenger car or a large truck. Certified bulbs are suitable for everyone.

There are several signs by which lamps are divided into categories:
Base / plinth device
Appointment
Lamp design
Principle of operation.
According to European standards, lamps are labeled with letters (h, hb, d) - according to the type of base and number, according to the model.

Bulb h1 belongs to the series of sealed lamps. They use spring loaded clamps or sockets to prevent the lamp from loosening or twisting. They also have a tight spiral tolerance relative to the flange. This means that they are placed in focus of the optical element at an ideal distance from the reflector.

The H1 bulb is a traditional headlamp option that has been in constant demand in the motoring market for a long time.
They are often installed in four-phase headlight systems.
Initially, h1 bulbs were installed only for low beam. Less often for the distant.
The appearance of lamps of category h7 lamps h1 began to be used for fog lights or for driving lights. This is due to the fact that they are more dazzling than h7 and give a lower luminous flux.

Such lamps have a coiled spiral or stretched along the optical axis. They are designed for headlights or spotlights.
When it comes to fog lights, the spiral is positioned perpendicular to the reflecting axis. The h1 type base is also used for additional lighting.

Types of bulbs h1

Of course, there are more than one type of h1 device bulb. You can choose the ones that seem most suitable for you:
Incandescent bulbs h1 or classic (the principle of operation is the same as in household ones. Outdated type for car headlights)
H1 halogen lamp (the bulb is made of quartz refractory glass. It is filled with an inert gas supplemented with halogen vapor. They give a higher light output than incandescent lamps. Due to their low cost, h1 hallogen lamps are still very popular on the market)
H1 LED lamps (based on LEDs. These are semiconductor crystals - the latest invention in the world of lighting technology. They have a number of indisputable advantages (for example, resistance to external influences, high luminous efficiency, economy). white pleasant light. disadvantage - high cost)
H1 xenon or metal halide lamps (light produces an electric arc between electrodes in a bulb with xenon, which is also an inert gas. Xenon headlights very popular for their high luminous efficiency and reliability. At the same time, they have a significant drawback - they blind the drivers of the oncoming traffic).

When choosing an h1 lamp for yourself, be sure to make sure that it is produced with high quality. H1 lamps are the brightest produced by OSRAM, GE, PHILIPS. By comparing the quality of the light, you will see that it is worth spending the money, but at the same time getting a much higher light output and long term work.

H1 lamps review of the best 2015

When comparing the characteristics, among the h1 lamps of the last year, the following are the best:
Philips x-treme vision+ 100% (12 volts, 55 watts)
Bosch h1 5000k (35 volts, 35 watts)

How to care for h1 headlight bulbs?

It happens that even high-quality lamps fail. This can happen due to improper operation.

How to properly care for your h1 headlights?
Swap them in pairs. This applies not only to h1 headlights, but also to everyone else. Even if only one is broken, change both
Adjust lighting regularly. This should be done at least once every 1 year. If the lamps were changed, then after replacement.
Change bulbs every two years or after 50,000 kilometers
Clean the lamps. Dirt that gets into the headlights significantly reduces the light output. Therefore, the optics must be cleaned regularly.
Always carry spare headlights with you

Watch your headlights. Choose your light source carefully - this is your guarantee of safety on the road!
