Adv/Disadv of Turning off ur headlights pag naka-stop

[vhenok]

Peeps,

Ask ko lang kung ano advantage/disadvantage of turning off d headlights pag naka-stop or traffic. Pansin ko kc to...please share any ideas.

Alam ko kapag panay on/off di ba madaling mapundi (common practise)?
But then saves you current?

Pero pag on naman matagal di ba umiinit yung bulb? Ano ba talaga kuya?

[crawdaddy]

di ko rin alam but someone posted somewhere na hinuli daw siya kasi pag madilim na daw kelangang laging naka-on ang headlights (pinatay niya ang kanya but naka-on ang park lights) and the others said na nasa law daw na kelangan laging naka-on...

pero wala naman akong makita na ganung violation dito: http://www.lto.gov.ph/fines2.html#v4

yup. ang pagkakaalam ko dapat pagkagat ng dilim, nakabukas na headlights, maski traffic. that is according to some LTO regulations.

as per yung tanong kung dapat patay-bukas ang ilaw, ang alam ko, mas lalong mapapabilis masira yung switch dahil syempre merong konting movements and contacts involved dyan, dun sa bulb, bulbs are really built for that purpose so maski naka on sya during traffic, it will not lengthen the life ng bumbilya. the head emitted by the bulb is normal. maski naman hindi traffic and tumatakbo ka mainit pa rin naman yang bumbilya eh.

remember darkness is a subjective notion, what could be dark to you could still be ok for me (unless we're talking pitch black). So it depends actually on how dark it really is, most traffic rules are common sense.

[kiper]

basta ako pag di ko na makita ung gauge..

sindi na agad ng ilaw..!!

[1D4LV]

the definition of the law is at dusk, which means before sunset.

[ephraim]

advantage: you save power
disadvantage: baka makalimutan mo i-on ulit. delikado yun :mrgreen:

[Ungas]

Disadvantage

1. Madaling mapundi ang ilaw pag patay sindi.
2. Mas mapapadali ang buhay ng light switches. (as pointed out by happy_gilmore)
3. Isa pa sa butas yan para hulihin ka ng pulis.
4. Di kita ng kapwa motorista kung may sasakyan sa tabi lalo na pag maitim ang sasakyan.
5. Napapaghalatang kuripot ka sa ilaw kaya mo pinapatay. :D



Advantage

1. Madaling magtago di ka makikilala ng motorista pag patay ang ilaw.
2. Di ka masisilaw sa sarili mong ilaw lalo na pag stainless jeep ang nasa harap mo.
3. Mura lang naman bumbilya ng H4, kahit saan auto supply meron.
4. Less load on your alternator. ( as to what gestapo posted )
5. Para ka na rin jeepney driver, nagtitipid ng kuryente kahit di ka naman sisingilin ng power producers. :mrgreen:

[theveed]

ako 1 lang reason, pag nakabuntot sa owner, otherwise, I don't... lights don't take that much power to stay on naman eh... kung gusto mo mag save ng load ng alternator, patayin ang aircon... mas malakas yun...

Disadvantage

1. Madaling mapundi ang ilaw pag patay sindi.

Kaya pala malakas umorder ng spare na bumbilya sa mga "Patay-Sindi" :mrgreen:

sirs di ba kung traffic at madilim ay laging on ang headlights mo.. for me its just being courteous to the vehicle in front of you to put you lights to its dim mode then pag andar ng traffic be sure to turn it on.imho lang

[jaspi11]

kailangan bukas para safe.:lol:

[OTEP]

Pinapatay ko kapag nakahinto. Napapagod kasi ang mata ko. Otherwise naka-on siya kapag umaandar BE IT DAY OR NIGHT.

[roydok]

Ako din pinapatay ko pag nakahinto ang sasakyan sa trapik. On na ulit pag andar. :D

[vinj]

Pinapatay ko pag may kaharap ako sa traffic (i.e. ako yung nasa unahan ng stoplight) or pag may bwiset na stainless jeep sa unahan ko.

Bwiset yung mga jeep, lagi sinasara yung mga headlight, lalo na yung mga sa Cogeo area nung napadaan ako dun isang gabi.

If you are the first in line of the intersection it would be courteous enough to put your headlights in dim mode. But city driving doesn't require much on high beams. It is a case to case scenario, dim lit streets would need hi-beams. As well lighted and populated streets, dim light would be enough. :D

[Boy2]

pag-matagal na yung traffic patayin na lang. kasi ma-strain eyes mo. pero kung sandali lang naman yung traffic, why bother?

[splerdu]

normal headlight bulbs are designed to go on and off rather quickly. it's part of their function (brights). but it might be a problem if you're using HID.

[pajerokid]

I turn off my lights pag naka stop. Filaments actually last longer when not in use. Diba? the whole principle of incandescent type bulbs is the slow burning of the filament in a vacuum. If its not on, it wont burn. :D

[Dianne]

di ba dati, pinagbawal na stainless na jeep, di na raw puwede irehistro?... whatever happened to that?...

Asar lang yung mga walang modo na laging naka high beam following your car... (I pressume sira low beam nila kasi kahit nakastop, high beam pa rin ilaw nila)...:evil:

Sir Otep, why do you open your lights kahit day, just for safety reasons?...
