The noticeable thing about the projector is the low beam cutoff line that is projected when the lights are switched on. The lens straightens out the path of the light, as it directs every beam in the same direction.
#REFLECTOR VS PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS DRIVERS#
Drivers get better light output with this type of the housing because the light is more controlled. The projector headlight refocuses the reflected light and directs it through a concave lens. They have elliptical reflector, lens, light source and cutoff shield (low beam projectors). Now let’s move on to the projector headlights. The reflector dissipates the light that is available evenly, but not all beams are directed properly and can be reflected too far up or down and be not visible to the driver. This type of the headlight housing involves a lot of wasted light. The reflectors allow the driver to see clearly when it is dark, but on the other hand, they present a hazard for oncoming traffic. This allows the light being emitted from the small bulb to be spread out in front of the vehicle. It is distributed in many different angles. The light reflects from the surface directly outwards in one direction. The design of the reflector is pretty simple: it consists of a light source (headlight bulb) that is situated in the middle of the reflector cup.
Inside the housing there are openings where the bulbs are inserted and locked into place. They are used to prevent the moisture from entering the headlight assembly and increase the intensity of the headlight beam. Most of them come with plastic lenses, but there may be exceptions. They come with bulbs that are filled with mixture of the inert gas or Xenon gas. We will start with the reflector type of the headlights.
Today we would like to tell you about reflector and projector headlights. We’ve been talking about the sealed beam type of the headlight housing in one of our articles.
It is important to figure out which type of the headlight housing is installed to your vehicle, before upgrading the headlights.
