Perbedaan Lampu, LED, HID, dan Halogen, Yuk Pilih yang Tepat!

Car lights are a car component that affects comfort and safety while driving. This car lighting system component is essential when passing through poorly lit roads. Car lights today come in various types, including LED, HID, and Halogen. The variety of car lights can often confuse many people. To better understand it, let’s take a look at the differences between HID, LED, and Halogen car lights as follows.

Differences Between LED, HID, and Halogen Lights in Cars

There are several differences between LED, HID, and Halogen lights that you need to know. Here are the complete differences.

1. Color Aspect

The first difference between LED, HID, and Halogen lights can be recognized from the color produced by the lights. The color produced by LED lights tends to be white, and the light emitted is usually box-shaped. For HID lights, the color produced tends to be bright white, which can be blinding. The color produced by Halogen lights tends to be yellow.

2. Usage Aspect

The next difference can be distinguished from the usage of the lights in cars. The usage aspect of these three types of lights refers to the color produced. LED lights are usually used in newer car models. In Indonesia, the use of LED lights is relatively new, around the year 2007. 

These lights can easily be found in Daihatsu cars. HID lights are typically used in luxury European cars from the past, as they are very suitable for areas with foggy weather. Halogen lights, on the other hand, are actually very suitable for conditions in Indonesia, as they have a cool yellowish-white color.

3. Lifespan Aspect

The next difference can be seen from the lifespan of the lights. LED lights are known to have the longest lifespan compared to the other two types of lights. This is because LED lights utilize electronic devices in the form of semiconductor chips with diodes and resistors to produce light. 

Thus, LED lights do not produce heat like HID and Halogen lights, making them energy-efficient and not easily worn out. Meanwhile, the lifespan of HID and Halogen lights tends to be shorter because these lights produce heat when turned on.

4. Price Aspect

The last difference among these three types of lights can be seen from their prices. As you know, the selling price of LED lights is higher than that of Halogen and HID lights. This is because LED lights have a more complicated production process and more complex components. 

Additionally, the limited availability of these products in Indonesia causes the price of LED lights to soar compared to HID and Halogen lights. The price of HID lights tends to be normal because the production process is not as complicated as that of LED lights. Meanwhile, the price of Halogen lights is relatively cheap because they still use an old lighting system similar to the method of making incandescent bulbs.

After reading the above review, you now have a better understanding of the differences between these three types of car lights. In conclusion, LED lights can be said to be superior compared to other types of lights. This is because LED lights are energy-efficient, do not heat up easily, and are not easily damaged. However, the downside is that if this light breaks, you need to replace it entirely or as a set. 

Considering the function of car lights is very important for driving safety, you need to check the condition of your car lights regularly. If a light goes out, immediately replace it at the nearest Daihatsu workshop. Here you can get original and quality car spare parts, ensuring a longer lifespan for the components.
