XV1D
Drives D1S bulb as well as D2S bulb with our external ignitor and our XeSparQ D2/D1 adapter (please call).
XV1D
The XV1D 35 watt has no heat sink (optional on request). Both XV1D 50 watt and 75 watt come with the heat sink on top of the housing and an internal thermally conducting bridge.
The heat sink adds 10 mm to the overall height of the 35 watt XV1D.
Different wattages require different heat sink fin sizes for best convective cooling. Therefore the height is different, see table to the right

VPM (DPM) explained:
Variable power mode means that two output power or dual power modes (DPM) settings can be variably selected (generally 50 watt and 35 watt for dimming purposes to conserve battery power or for two preset brightnesses. With our XePulse II DPM can be used to wig-wag by dimming instead of on-off.
XeVision has finalized the first 35 watt D-series XeStrike™ ballast for driving Philips XenEcoStart™ Mercury-free (Hg-free) D3S and D4S HID bulbs. The D3S corresponds to the common D1S bulb with the same footprint, and so does the D4S with the standard D2S. Hg-free bulbs have very different and challenging electrical requirements for the ballast design. XeVision’s first production of the green slim-line ballast features an SAE type fast start-up bulb ignition. It is suitable for replacement of current HID systems, if ‘green’ compliance is necessary. This new ballast is intended for use in aviation (HID landing and taxi lights), military, and industrial applications.
OEM welcome.

Silicone rubber cable description
The Silicone rubber double shielded cables are standard for all XeVision HID Xenon lighting systems. We produce the cables in custom length of 1, 2, 4, and 6 feet.
The cables are used between the ballast and the lamp and are pre-assembled with shielded connectors and are a major factor to suppress RMI/EMI.
On both ends there is a MQS connector which is shielded in contact with the ballast and the lamp, a major factor to suppress RMI/EMI.
The cable is double shielded including the connectors It is a Silicone rubber insulated cable with a Tinned Copper braid shield and a Aluminum foil shield. The wires are Tinned copper strand with ORGALLOY® LE 6000 Polyamide 6 Alloy insulation to withstand high temperatures comparable to Teflon.
We offer only first grade EU D1S bulbs from leading brand names. We offer full manufacturer warranty.
On top of the improved specification of the standard bulb the Plus D1S bulb offer an enhanced color stability and improved Lumen maintenance. In particular the enhanced color stability offers a top performance all over the lifetime of the bulb.
