Izibani zezimoto ngokuvamile zihlanganiswa izingxenye ezintathu: isibani esikhanyayo, isibonisi kanye nokufanisa izibuko (isibuko se-astigmatism).
1. Isibani
Ama-bulbs asetshenziswe emalangeni ezimoto ezihambahamba ezimotweni ezihamba ngezimoto, ama-halogen tungsten bulbs, amalambu amasha aphezulu aphezulu we-arc nokunye.
. Ngesikhathi sokukhiqiza, ukuze kwandise impilo yenkonzo ye-bulb, isibani sigcwele igesi i-inert (nitrogen kanye nengxube yalo yamagesi we-inert). Lokhu kunganciphisa ukuhwamuka kwe-tungsten wire, kwandise izinga lokushisa lokufafaza, futhi kuthuthukise ukusebenza kahle okukhanyayo. Ukukhanya okuvela ku-isibani se-incandescent kune-tinge ephuzi.
. Endaweni ephezulu yokushisa eduze kwe-filament, futhi ibolile ngokushisa, ukuze i-tungsten ibuyele embonweni. I-halogen ekhishwe iqhubeka nokusebenzisa futhi ibambe iqhaza ekuphenduleni okulandelayo komjikelezo, ngakho-ke umjikelezo uyaqhubeka, ngaleyo ndlela uvikele ukuhwamuka kwe-tungsten kanye nokwehla kwe-bulb. Usayizi we-tungsten halogen usayizi we-bulb mncane, igobolondo le-bulb lenziwa ngengilazi ye-quartz ngokumelana okuphezulu kwamazinga okushisa aphezulu kanye namandla afanayo, ukugqama kwe-tungsten Halogen Lamps okungu-1.5 kuyisikhathi eside.
. Esikhundleni salokho, ama-elektrodi amabili abekwe ngaphakathi kwe-quartz tube. Ishubhu ligcwele i-XENON NEZIMALI (noma ama-Metal Halides), futhi lapho kune-arc voltage eyanele ye-electrode (5000 ~ 12000V), igesi liqala ukwenza ugodo futhi liqhube ugesi. Ama-athomu kagesi asesimweni esijabulisayo futhi aqala ukukhipha ukukhanya ngenxa yenguquko ye-elektroni. Ngemuva kwe-040, inani elincane le-mercury vapor lihanjiswa phakathi kwama-electrodes, futhi ukunikezwa kwamandla kudluliswa ngokushesha kwi-mercury vapor arc ukuphuma kwe-arc, bese kudluliselwa eHalide arc lamp ngemuva kokushisa kwemvula ngemuva kokushisa. Ngemuva kokukhanya kufinyelela izinga lokushisa elijwayelekile lesibani, amandla okugcina ukukhipha i-arc aphansi kakhulu (cishe ama-35w), ngakho-ke ama-40% amandla kagesi angagcinwa.
