HID Color Temperature and Kelvin Explained | Headlight Revolution

All Lighting Upgrades For Your Application: https://www.headlightrevolution.com/?... Headlights come in a handful of different colors ranging from yellow to blue, and if you're confused about why terms like "color temperature," "Kelvin," "5,000K," or "warm or cool" are used when talking about those colors, this video is for you! HID headlight colors are almost always given a number to identify/name their color and label that color number with a "K" or "Kelvin." But why? Well, "Kelvin" originally relates back to a physical temperature (measured in Kelvin as opposed to Fahrenheit or Celsius). William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) actually invented the Kelvin Temperature Scale by first calculating a theoretical absolute zero temperature(essentially impossible to reach, brrr!). Later on, by heating a block of carbon to specific temperatures, he correlated the visible color change(from dark red to orange, yellow, and white) to each increasingly hotter temperature. This system of color relating to temperature and absolute zero scale, made possible by Kelvin's research, is convenient for calculating differences in temperature, due to its lack of negative numbers. This Kelvin Temperature Scale has carried over to modern methods of assigning characteristics of light/color in modern manufacturing of residential and automotive lighting, digital photography (white balance), and other applications. Today, we use these Kelvin temperatures and colors to describe the color of HID headlights. Do your headlights actually reach 3,000K or 10,000K temperatures? No way! Your bulbs don't burn as hot as the sun. Bulb manufacturers only mimic those colors found at those temperatures. These headlight colors come from precise chemical compounds within the bulbs. "Enough of all the science talk" you're probably saying. But wait, there's more and it's actually really helpful! The color of HID headlights also affects the headlight's perceived/usable brightness. As you will see in this video, all colors of light are a small portion of the visible light spectrum. Our tiny spectrum of color exists surrounded by invisible light and waves. Ever heard of infrared or ultraviolet? Those "colors" are invisible and actually quite close to the colors of red and violet respectively. Colors closer to blue are actually starting to creep toward the invisible ultraviolet light and colors closer to yellow are actually starting to creep toward invisible infrared. Quite simply, if you want the most perceived brightness, stick to colors near the center of the visible light spectrum like 5,000K white. These colors will give you the most lux as you will see in this video:    • Which HID Color is the Brightest? 35w or 5...   Fitment guaranteed! If it doesn’t work, we will solve the problem for you.

Note: This video is for educational purposes only and may show street-use content with products that may not be DOT compliant for use on public roads. The video is not intended to imply vehicle-specific street legality. LED and HID bulbs are street legal in the USA for fog light use and not in low beam or high beam headlights because they are not compliant with DOT / FMVSS108. When looking for on-road-use headlight upgrades we recommend DOT-compliant headlight housings, not bulb replacements. Certain specialty vehicles strictly limited to off-street use and not having DOT registration or license plates may use these products exclusively off-streets. International street legality varies by country.
