ASM HID Xenon Quality:

ASM Lighting HID systems are manufactured of superb quality and are among the best in the industry. We import Phillips quartz from Holland for the manufacturing of the HID bulbs used in the ASM Lighting system. The Xenon gases used inside lamps are also imported from Phillips to not only meet but exceed the factory standards in original equipment production. The ballast components are brought in from Germany, known for their durability and years of quality research in high intensity lighting systems in various applications. HID systems by ASM Lighting have raised the level of quality and simplified the installation of all high intensity discharge lighting systems worldwide.

Lifetime Replacement Warranty

Many people are easily fooled by their HID/Xenon system looks like. A great example is that of "The Most Famous HID Ballast Ever Made." Just because 2, 3 or 4 HID ballasts from different makers look the same it does not mean that the contents are the same. Through the few years of experience ASM Lighting has learned that many ballast manufacturers have different "levels" of ballasts. At one point a ballast company spoke about 4 levels. All ballasts looked exactly the same. We were not able to tell the difference and neither could the engineers if all 4 were mixed around.

SMT and DIP components:

Many HID makers will build their ballast PCB () with what are called DIP components. The future of all electronic PCBs that are in all high-tech equipment use solely SMT. SMT stand for surface mount technology and DIP stands for dual in-line package.

DIP and SMT ATMEL Processors:

The difference is very clear. From the materials used to make them to how these components are placed on the PCBs. This is a great was for HID manufacturers to save money by stuffing there large HID ballasts with these DIP components that have a much higher failure rate which is in part due to the fact that they are all soldered on by hand! On the other side we have the SMT components that are so small that they can only by placed on the PCB by a special computer. This will ensure that all components are placed in the exact same location every time and the failure rate is much lower.

HID/Xenon Bulb Quality:

The HID/Xenon bulbs used by ASM Lighting have less than a .2% chance of failure and that's not just because the components are all PHILIPS approved. That's because the production line and process have been optimized to ensure a perfect HID/Xenon bulb every time they are produced. All of our bulbs and ballasts are tested for 24 HOURS before they are shipped to our customers in order to ensure their operation and that the systems operate safely. When ASM Lighting HID/Xenon bulb fails it is usually traced back to the installer having touched the glass or the customer when unpacking the bulb.
