Perfect illumination is especially important in the distance – usually between 75-100 metres in front of a vehicle. According to Lumileds, Philips X-tremeVision G-force boosts visibility with up to 130 per cent more brightness. Enabling the driver to recognse obstacles and any potential dangers earlier than with most other halogen headlight lamps.

Philips X-tremeVision G-force is designed to last and have been tested for up to 10G vibration resistance and are fully ECE certified.

With its optimised high-precision filament geometry, up to 13 bar high-pressure gas filling, high-precision coating and high-quality UV-Quartz glass, Philips X-tremeVision headlights set a new milestone in automotive lighting, the company adds.

Lumileds’ UK Business Development Manager, Richard Armstrong said: “Philips X-tremeVision G-force qualifies as one of the best performance beams in the halogen segment.”

He added: “Every potential failure of a spare part is a risk for the driver and the vehicle. This is especially true for headlights. Every broken headlight lamp reduces visibility and safety for the driver and the oncoming traffic. Philips X-tremeVision is optimised for a long and reliable lifetime. So the driver can see and be seen for longer than with any other high-performance lamp.”
