gas that burns at 1600 degrees Kelvin

To talk about the code of these HID lights, I can say that they are categorized according
to the capacity of producing the high intensity discharge; even it may refer to the size of
the filament. If you find a code with H, like H1 or H2 or H3 like wise. The highest size of
the filament available in regard to these bulbs is the H12.
You may find the same coding for the halogen bulbs that are available in H fittings. This
is particularly done to ensure that the lights correctly fit into your car. You must have
commonly heard about the words 35W and 55W in connection with lights. The letter W stands
for watt which is the unit of power. The number denotes the power required by the light to
glow.
Now, let’s talk about K which stands for Kelvin and is a unit of quantifying the
temperature, color temperature in case of HID lights. A light of 1600k would simply mean a
bulb with xenon gas that burns at 1600 degrees Kelvin.
