Appointment
In the weather, the beams of ordinary passing or driving beams, reflecting the tiny drops of water or snowflakes, get into the driver's eye and visibility is even worse. The light distribution of the fog lamps is different. They are placed quite close to the road, since the fog does not lie directly on the asphalt, and it turns out that the headlights are light as fog. In forming a flat contrast horizontal beam of light, they make a visible strategic section of the road, hiding the rest of the space in the shade. In addition, anti-mandarts cover lines of layout and shoulder, making it easier to move on narrow winding roads.
The device. Operational issues
Headlamps shall be installed symmetrically, necessarily below the main headlamps (at least on one level) at a distance not less than 25 cm from the road surface and not less than 40 cm from the external position of the vehicle.
The position of the front fog lamps shall be adjusted separately (one headlamp shall be covered by a piece of cardboard). Correctly adjusted headlamps give visibility to the road up to 10 meters-this distance is sufficient, because in conditions of poor visibility all vehicles significantly reduce the speed of traffic. But if you make the headlights too small, they'll be useless. Besides, the drivers of the oncoming cars will be blinded by the bright light. Some vehicles are equipped with rear anti-manic vehicles. Only simultaneous fog lamps may be switched on simultaneously with the position lamps.
The colour of the lamps on headlamps of this type shall be yellow or white. For a long time it was thought that the yellow waves of yellow were better educated by the fog, but in reality it was not so: yellow and white light beams the drop of water equally well. All roads are fitted with white fog lamps, for example. As for red, blue or greenish headlamps, they are much worse in functionality.
All fog lamps pass several stages of quality control. The products suitable for operation shall be marked with a two-digit number indicating the code of the producing country and the Latin letters "E" and "B". "E" confirms the quality of the produce, and "B" indicates the type of headlamp: according to the international classification, fog lamps are indicated by this letter. The lamp shall not exceed 60 watts. Halogen halogen lamps of category H1 or H3 are generally used. Due to the peculiarities of the location of the spiral these lamps form the rays of a wide range, which provide the most efficient illumination of the road in the weather.
Varieties
In shape the fog lamps may be round, oval, square or rectangular-to the taste of the owner of the motor vehicle.
Not so long ago there were fog-lights working with wind energy. Apart from the fact that they do not need a network power, these headlights have a number of other advantages-beautiful design, universality (suitable for any vehicles), bright light and waterproof painted light.
Benefits
Opponemans can be useful and just in a dark time of day. Besides, they are indispensable at night on the roads that are rife with steep turns. For example, in a mountainous area, the use of such headlamps helps to display a good view of the shoulder. The driver of the car with the anti-manneric vehicles will be able to prevent the accident in advance, if suddenly there is an obstacle (a log or a rock), suddenly a man or an animal escapes.
