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™ 2 DPM can be used to wig-wag by dimming instead of on-off.
XV6D - The Green Ballast
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.
