LED Technology Vs. Halogen Lights



LED technology vs. Halogen Lights

The LED tail lights offer the following advantages over halogen lights:
- Response time is 1,000 times shorter
- Better illumination
- Improved active safety thanks to earlier warning of vehicles travelling behind
- More robust design copes better with vibrations
- Considerably longer service life (> 10,000 hours)
- Reduced energy consumption
- Compact design

The technology and design of the lights actively help to improve road safety. While the response time of lights with conventional bulbs is approx. 100 ms, the response time of LED lights is only approx. 0.1 ms. This difference is equivalent to a distance of almost 3 meters when travelling at 100 km/h (60 mph). The improved illuminating power of the LEDs also reinforces the safety effect.
