LED Lights Are Transforming Auto Industry Design

Automotive lighting is undergoing a quiet revolution, leading to new vehicle designs and providing enhanced

nighttime safety.

Headlights and taillights can now be constructed in different shapes and patterns that, much like a car’s tail fins in the 1960s, immediately identify a particular make

and model.

And mostly in other countries, manufacturers are developing new ways to use light to make nighttime driving safer. By , a vehicle’s headlights

can be more than just a set of low and high beams, and instead continuously alter their light patterns to exactly fit the immediate road

conditions.

The increased use of LED lamps that is allowing manufacturers to fine-tune this technology. Given an LED’s smaller size, cars can pack more bulbs into each headlight, each of which can then be turned on and off to create unique light patterns based on

road conditions and the amount of oncoming traffic. This ensures that other drivers are never blinded by oncoming headlights, while the driver of the vehicle using the system

receives an optimal view of the road.

Audi, the luxury division of Volkswagen, has been a leader in lighting technology. Its high-performance R8 includes an optional laser high beam. And five of its sedan and sport utility vehicle models can be

bought with an LED-based high-beam matrix headlight.

The system is so good at not shining light on vehicles traveling ahead of it that the high beam can remain on and adjust itself,

even if eight cars are in front.

We’re looking at ways to amend the lighting standard to allow systems to provide even better lighting,” said Gordon Trowbridge, a spokesman for the

agency. “It’s a frustrating and time-consuming process. We have an obligation that the U.S. government not act rashly.
