Halogen Bulb H3 12V 55W with UV Filter, Amio AMI-01478

The Amio Halogen Bulb H3 12V 55W with UV Filter (model AMI-01478) is a single-filament automotive lamp designed for vehicles that use an H3 base. It delivers a concentrated halogen beam suitable for headlamps, fog lights and auxiliary lighting applications. The integrated UV filter reduces ultraviolet transmission to help protect plastic lenses and housings from accelerated aging while maintaining the typical color temperature and luminous performance of a 12V 55W halogen source.

Advantages

This halogen H3 bulb offers reliable illumination compatible with standard 12V automotive electrical systems and mounts with H3 fittings. The UV filter is built into the glass envelope to limit UV radiation, which can reduce yellowing and degradation of polymer lenses over time. The 55W power rating ensures a focused beam with predictable power consumption and heat characteristics, making it a straightforward replacement for existing H3 lamps.

Suitable for

• Automotive headlamps and fog lights requiring an H3 base
• Auxiliary and driving lamps in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
• Applications where reduced UV exposure to lenses and reflectors is desired

Key specifications

• Operating voltage: 12 V
• Power consumption: 55 W
• Base type: H3 single-filament
• Filament: single halogen filament for focused beam
• UV filter: integrated into the bulb envelope to reduce ultraviolet emission
• Typical application: headlight, fog light, auxiliary lamp

How to use

Install the bulb into a compatible H3 socket following vehicle manufacturer instructions and ensuring the vehicle ignition is off. Handle the bulb by its base or use gloves; avoid touching the glass with bare hands to prevent oil residues that can shorten bulb life. After seating the bulb correctly, secure any retaining clips and reconnect power. Verify correct beam alignment and that the lamp functions within the vehicle electrical system prior to driving.

Usage recommendations

For best results, replace H3 bulbs in pairs to maintain uniform illumination. Inspect lamp housings and connectors for corrosion or damage before installation. If a bulb requires frequent replacement, check the vehicle’s electrical system and mounting to ensure proper cooling and correct voltage supply.
