single-dipping lamp system

English to French Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
About historical vehicles, how to safely drive them on today's roads.

If you are using a vehicle with a single-dipping lamp system that is to be driven in conditions of darkness or low visibility, you should, if it is legally and technically possible, modify the system so as to show a pair of lights whether on dipped or main beam.

ont aussi évolué : des ampoules à incandescence,
des lampes halogènes bi-filaments,
des mono-filament, et finalement
des lampes au xénon : deux fois plus de
flux lumineux qu’une lampe halogène
classique, moins de consommation (35 W
au lieu de 55 W) et une température de
couleur proche de la lumière du jour

système de phares à un seul filament

Dip the lights : basculer en feux de croisement
anciens véhicules : ampoules monofilament => basculement latéral du réflecteur

" headlights on my 1926 Rolls-Royce 20hp have single filament bulbs,
and the method of reducing the glare for oncoming drivers is by
operating a dashboard mounted switch that reduces the current and dims
the bulbs. I presume this is legal, because the car passes its MOT every
year.

In the course of tracing an intermittent fault, I found that the near-
side headlamp is still fitted with a solenoid and a movable reflector.
This indicates that the dipping mechanism was originally of the type
where the off-side headlamp is extinguished and the near-side reflector
swivels towards the kerb."

"La commission sportive appliquera les règles drastiques
concernant la conformité des voitures à la série dans les
classes tourisme, ce qui conduira à la disqualification des
trois premières BMC Mini Cooper et de la quatrième au
classement, une Ford Cortina.
Le motif pour cette exclusion : feux non homologués ; dans le
cas des Mini, il y avaient des ampoules à simple filament au
lieu de filaments doubles – les feux faisaient office de phares,
et les anti-brouillards faisaient office de codes."
Did you mean: phares "véhicules anciens" "ancêtres" ampoules monofilament
