LEDs in automotive front lighting enable energy savings, new light designs and applications such as matrix beam and laser high-beam. Supporting the progress in automotive lighting Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) launched high-power LED driversspecifically designed for automotive front lights. The drivers are available within the new LITIX Power Flex series and the LITIX Power series. They address flexible DC/DC driver solutions supporting LED systems of up to 50 W and even above. Application setups can vary: many medium-power LEDs with string voltages of up to 55 V or few LEDs with high currents of up to 3 A and more.

Automated lighting manufacturer High End Systems announced that they have created the world’s first TMI/CRI Correction Filter for White LED automated luminaires. TM-30 is a new quality metric that was recently adopted by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) to supplement and eventually replace the old CRI (CIE) Metric for measuring fidelity of a light source. Designed to offer the lighting community another option, the new correction filter will allow users of High End’s SolaRange fixtures greater flexibility in TM-30/CRI levels and fixture output.

Optronics' new LED stop, tail, turn lamps use a newly developed patent-pending Light Guide engineering solution, similar to fiber optics, to achieve a high-style automotive look.

With its new Night Breaker Laser halogen lamps, its redesigned halogen Ultra Life and new Xenarc Ultra Life series Osram is showcasing several new products for the replacement parts market at this year's Automechanika fair. “These products underline our pioneering role as a leading manufacturer in the automotive lighting sector and show that we are continuing to invest in the important replacement parts market and in traditional technologies”, said Terje Noevig, Head of Automotive Aftermarket at Osram, emphasizing the significance of the innovative lamps that will be on display at Automechanika from September 13 to 17 (booth D15, Hall 3.0). 

The Lubbock Police Department based in the state of Texas in U.S. published a guidance list to installing aftermarket automotive lights on their Facebook fanpage, reported 790 KFYO News Talk.

Whether in ice hockey or in automotive lighting – quality, performance and passion always help to achieve the desired goal. That is also why OSRAM is the official lighting partner of the EHC RedBull Munich ice hockey club. With the support of our partners at Subaru, the club tested the blue-white light of OSRAM COOL BLUE INTENSE in a quite different arena:

Advanced lighting, front and back: Osram is represented in the BMW M4 Concept Iconic Lights not only with laser light in the headlights but also, and for the first time, with OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) in the tail lights. These area light sources enable the lights to be made in any shape, opening up completely new design options. “The show car is an important milestone for our OLED strategy. As a leading supplier Osram wants to have a presence on the road with a series OLED product from 2016 onward”, said Marc Lünnemann, the man responsible at Osram for OLED business.
