LED adaptive lights, the future of truck lighting

LED lighting is the future. All the large companies in the automotive sector are allocating resources to the research and development of adaptive lights, a concept that will also revolutionize the driving of trucks, transport, industrial and mixed vehicles, and also passenger cars in general. Adaptive lights could be defined as LED headlights that turn on and increase their light intensity depending on outside conditions and the point at which the driver is looking. The system makes it possible both to increase safety and to reduce operating costs and energy consumption.

One of the manufacturers that has worked hardest on adaptive lighting instruments is the German giant Opel. The German manufacturer has just presented the third generation of this technology that adapts to situations and eye tracking, after two years of work and research. The system with which Opel works consists of a camera equipped with peripheral infrared sensors and central photodiodes that "scan" the driver's eyes with a frequency greater than fifty times per second just when the sensors detect the arrival of dusk or night. . The sensors transmit the information to the headlamps that react instantly and move depending on where the driver is looking, both vertically and horizontally. IVECO is also working hard to incorporate a system similar to its famous commercial and transport vehicles.

Opel's instrumentation is so sophisticated that it even allows correcting the light beam of the headlights to move erratically following the movement of the eyes, which sometimes look at one point or another unconsciously and without taking into account the place where they should be concentrating their attention. The director of Lighting Technology at Opel, Ingolf Schneider, explains that the brand has developed "a sophisticated delay algorithm that guarantees a suitably fluid movement for the light beam." The system, which has already begun to be tested experimentally in some vehicles, allows  up to 10 different lighting functions (for  pedestrian areas, urban driving, secondary roads or highways), depending on the conditions of the road and weather.

This technology  will soon begin to be applied to the lighting of trucks and road freight vehicles, in which that the appearance of LED technology has also brought about a revolution. The proof is that the Recambiosdelcamion.com catalog of lighting elements, headlights and taillights incorporates numerous references with LED technology. Like for example the round Led rear light from the SIM brand (now on sale with a 6% discount) 

It is also on sale for a limited time (although it is halogen lighting) at Recambiosdelcamion.com the pack of two long-range headlights with  H3 bulb  and 17.50 light points (candles), which can be purchased while stocks last with a 20% discount with 24V bulbs free
