9/16/2008 HOLLY HILL, FL, SEPT. 16, 2008: Who doesn’t want better visibility when driving at night or in less-than-desirable weather conditions? Illuminate the road and increase your customers’ safety with Xenonworx high-intensity discharge (HID) replacement bulbs. Xenonworx bulbs burn with three times the lumens of a factory halogen, which greatly increases safety and visibility at night or in any low-visibility driving conditions, with just 35-watt power consumption (compared to 55 watts for halogens). The intensity, purity, and efficiency of these bulbs’ light leaves no room for comparison to the “imitation” bulbs, which produce a scattered, artificial light that is not even as bright as typical halogens. Xenonworx bulbs have a three-to-five year lifespan. Drivers will notice immediately the how they activate the reflective surfaces and devices on all traffic signs – making them the clear choice for headlight/fog light replacements. Ultra slim ballasts feature built-in surge protection to prevent damage in case of an electrical short circuit. Both ballasts and bulbs are waterproof and shockproof. A waterproof connector and grommets ensure precise installation. All Xenonworx bulbs have a two-year factory warranty.
