The switch from halogen to LED technology has never been easier: ams OSRAM (SIX: AMS) presents the NIGHT BREAKER® LED SMART ECE H11, the first fully ECE R37 homologated LED retrofit lamp. This innovative product makes it easy to upgrade and is approved for 12V vehicles in all ECE contracting states¹, which include the EU, UK and Switzerland. This replacement for H11 halogen lamps is approved in all these countries for all lighting functions.

Following the introduction in October 2020 of the NIGHT BREAKER® LED, Germany's first street-legal² LED retrofit lamp, and the practical plug-and-play NIGHT BREAKER® LED1 SPEED H7 in December 2024, OSRAM Automotive is once again launching a groundbreaking retrofit solution. ECE R37 homologation of the new NIGHT BREAKER® LED SMART ECE H11, indicated by the E1 marking, eliminates the need to match headlamp approval numbers, carry official approval documents or apply stickers.

The NIGHT BREAKER® LED SMART ECE H11 is approved as a direct replacement for H11 halogen lamps. It delivers a modern bright white light with a color temperature of up to 6000 Kelvin. Its impressive light output ensures optimum visibility for the driver, while the glare³ seen by other road users is up to 50 percent less than the legally permissible maximum values. Compared to standard halogen lamps, these LED retrofit lamps consume up to 60 percent less energy and last up to six times longer thanks to LED technology and the specially developed vibration-resistant design⁴. These characteristics make the NIGHT BREAKER® LED SMART ECE H11 a cost-effective and eco-friendly retrofit solution.
