[EVDL List]

HID bulbs when running are well under 100v. Typical types are around 40v.
The strike voltage can be in the thousands though.

All car-use HID bulbs contain Xenon which is used to get the bulb output up
quickly. Most newer systems are usable within a few seconds, and at full
brightness in 10-20.
