The automotive industry no longer has any geographical
borders. More and more manufacturers around the globe are joining forces to produce vehicles that
are superior in one way or another. As part of this process, beginning in 2001, the GE Consumer
Products Lighting Automotive Products Team became a proud participant in the European-level
database of car-manufacturer-suppliers, where the material content of all our products is presented
to our customers up-to-date.
Xensation™
As a replace for halogen lamps, GE is offering a light
source that represents innovative and energy efficient automotive lighting. These lamps, Xensation™
discharge lamps, provide better visibility, greater illuminated area on the road, and optically
advantageous whiter light compared to halogen lamps. Xensation™ lamps offer up to 3 times more
light output than a standard halogen product whilst only consuming 65% of the power that halogen
lamps use. This way they are more friendly to the environment by saving more energy. All this is
offered, while giving up to three times the lifetime of conventional lamps. Safety also comes due
to the enormous increase in the illuminated field of vision. (CHART, PHOTO from brochure Xensation

The outer bulb is made of UV-control quartz glass,
which prevents UV rays leaving the discharge lamp and causing damage to plastic covered headlamps.
