PIAA has advanced halogen bulb design with the introduction of its Night-Tech halogen bulb series, announced PIAA Lamp and Bulb Manager Chris Olander.

The new PIAA Night-Tech bulbs feature several advancements in performance, durability, and manufacturing. Night-Tech technology combines a higher proportion of inert gases with a new filament material to create a halogen bulb that delivers up to 90 percent more light than a conventional halogen bulb and a 50-percent longer life span.

In addition, the Night-Tech's new combination of gases, filament material, and glass coatings creates a color temperature in the 3600 Kelvin range - a brilliant light output that is whiter than standard bulbs - yet retaining critical DOT/SAE approval. The unique dual-band bulb coating not only creates a whiter light but delivers a brighter, longer range (up to 35meters) than conventional halogen bulbs.

PIAA is offering the Night-Tech bulbs in many of the industry's most popular formats, including H1, H3, H4, H7 and H11. Wattage for each 12 volt-bulb is 55 watts; the H4 Night-Tech is rated at 12 volts and 60/55 watts. MSRPs range from $50-67, depending on application.
