The front headlights of cars have always been favored by car manufacturers as selling points due to their safety applicability and aesthetic appeal, continuously evolving from halogen lamps to xenon lamps. However, the market for energy-saving and environmentally friendly LED headlights has been lukewarm. Audi was the first to use LED daytime running lights on the A4, marking the beginning of the LED headlight era. Since then, many manufacturers have started to follow suit by adopting LED daytime running lights, and the European Union has even begun to legislate that all models for sale must be equipped with LED daytime running lights for driving safety. However, all manufacturers have only stopped at the step of LED daytime running lights; apart from a few high-end models that have LED headlights, other mid-range and low-end cars still use halogen or xenon lamps. So, what is the future of automotive LED headlights?
The application of LED headlights in automotive systems has the following six major advantages.
Belongs to the national low-carbon, energy-saving, and environmental protection industry, in line with national industrial support policies, and is an extension of the LED industry;
High color saturation, making the output light clearer and softer, in line with the characteristics of automotive headlight applications;
Long lifespan, durable, strong shock resistance, can exceed 100,000 hours, which is several times that of halogen and xenon lamps;
High efficiency, with less additional loss. Compared to the complex heat dissipation systems of traditional lamps, it can be seen that the thermal loss of LED lamps is much smaller, with a conversion efficiency reaching over 85%, and no heavy metal mercury pollution, making it particularly suitable for future automotive designs that emphasize energy saving;
Fast response speed, unlike traditional incandescent lights, HID lamps require a longer drive ignition delay, allowing for a more real-time reflection of vehicle and road conditions, giving drivers more time to make judgments and reducing automotive safety accidents;
Small size and light weight, allowing for more compact and exquisite lighting fixtures, saving more space for the design of other vehicle models.
