NOTE
The headlamps are fitted with halogen bulbs. A buffer gas is added to their cylinders - a pair of halogens (bromine or iodine), which increases the lamp life up to 2000-4000 hours and allows you to increase the temperature of the spiral. In this case, the working temperature of the spiral is approximately 3000 ° K.
In a conventional lamp, an electric current passing through a tungsten filament heats it up to a high temperature. When heated, the spiral begins to glow. However, due to the high operating temperature, the tungsten atoms are constantly evaporating from the coil surface and depositing (condensing) on ​​the cooler bulb surfaces, limiting the lamp's life and causing it to darken. In a halogen lamp, the iodine surrounding the spiral (together with residual oxygen) enters into a chemical combination with the evaporated tungsten atoms, preventing the latter from deposition on the bulb. This process is reversible: at a high temperature near the helix, the compound decomposes into its constituent substances. The tungsten atoms are released either on the helix itself or near it. As a result, the tungsten atoms return to the helix,
