Philips UV-quartz glass for optimal lighting performance

Philips quartz glass with UV block, filters out harmful ultraviolet rays that are potentially damaging to modern plastic head lighting units.

Quartz-glass benefits

 
  • More powerful light: Quartz glass high resistance allows for increased pressure inside the lamp and thus generates more powerful light.

 

  • Better resistance: Philips quartz glass lamp (filament at 2 650°C and glass at 800°C) is capable to withstand a severe thermal shock.

  • Optimal protection against ultraviolet rays: A special anti-UV coating integrated in Philips quartz glass lamps protects against harmful ultraviolet rays. The anti-UV coating prevents plastic head lighting units from yellowing.
