Commonly asked questions about Vision X LED products, and LED lighting technologies.
- What distinguishes all of the Vision X Lightbars?
- What is Prime Drive?
Prime Drive -
Vision X Prime Drive is the most advanced technology available
allowing for the most possible light output while maintaining the LEDs 50,000 hour
life span. Prime Drive technology includes the following:
Electronic Thermal Management
ETM monitors the heat output of the LEDs in order to
maintain safe operating temperatures and prolong the LED life span to its full 50,000
hour potential.
Pulse Width Modulator
With the Pulse Width Modulator technology, the
light is dimmable with the use of a separate controller to allow for optimum flexibility.
Powerfully
Driven LEDs
The Prime Series is driven at 90%, meaning less energy wasted and more
light output. This allows for the most lumens while maintaining the optimal operating
conditions for the LEDs.
Pure Optics
With 90% optically pure Vision X optics, you can
be sure that you are getting the most distance and most accuracy out of each LED.
- Is amber light better in foul weather than white light?
Amber colored lights perform better in foul weather conditions such as fog, snow, and rain because they remove the blue light waves from the spectrum. Blue light is the hardest color for the eye to work with because of its short wave length and because of the glare that this creates. When the amber light hits and bounces back off the snow, fog, or rain, etc., because there is no blue light, there is less glare that blue light provides in "backscatter" off of the visual obstruction, making the amber light less distracting to the eyes and therefore making it a better performer in foul weather.
Vision X offers Amber colored LEDs in the Xmitter Prime, Xmitter Elite, Xmitter, Evo Prime, and Low Profile Prime.
- What are LEDs?
Light emitting diodes, or LEDs, are small light bulbs that easily fit into electrical circuitry. Yet unlike halogen bulbs, LEDs do not us a filament in the bulb that will burn out or get extremely hot. Instead, LEDs are illuminated by electrons moving in a semiconductor material. LEDs have an expected lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, 20 times that of HID bulbs and 125 times that of tungsten halogen bulbs.
LEDs have several advantages. One is that they are long lasting. Another is that they consume much less power than HID or Halogen. And also they are more durable. There is not filament to break or glass bulb to break. Overall LED is the newest and best in lighting technologies
