			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The problem with modern internal combustion engines is that fuel is  burned even when standing still in traffic. This uses fossil fuel in a  useless process and releases unnecessary carbon dioxide in the  atmosphere. In most alternative powered cars, like electric or  compressed air cars, this waste is eliminated by simply stopping the  flow of power during traffic. However, compared to the energy contained  in a tank of fossil fuels, the current implementations of electric or  compressed air energy storage is very much lower. Thus, energy in  alternative powered cars are at a premium compared to fossil fueled  cars. Energy consumption of non-drive related systems must therefore be  reduced to increase mileage per full tank per charge. This severely  impacts night driving that requires all external lighting at full  operation. Thus, using lamps with a high light output per watt of power  is a desirable option. This is precisely what High Intensity Discharge,  or hid, lamps are.</p>
<p>Let’s compare a <a href="http://www.carid.com/xenon-hid.html">hid</a> lamp with a light output of 2,800 to 3,500 lumens for a 35 to 38 watt  consumption to a halogen filament lamp of 700 to 2,100 lumens for 40 to  72 watts of power. Taking the minimums, a HID produces 2,800 lumens for  35 watts or 2,800/35 or 80 lumens/watt (l/w). The halogen has a ratio of  700 lumens / 40 watts or 17.5 l/w. Taking the maximums hids have  3500/38 or 92.1 l/w while a halogen uses 2,100 / 72 or 29.2 l/w.  Comparing these ratios with themselves produce percentages in the low  range of 80/17.5 or 457% more light per watt for hids while on the high  range producing 92.1/29.2 or 315%. Thus, to produce the same output of  1600 lumens, a hid would only require 20 watts (low side) while a  halogen will require 54.8 watts (high side). This is more that 250%  energy savings. Thus, for alternative powered car systems, hids are  definitely the preferred lighting option.</p>
