Currently, in the automotive industry in optical systems, semiconductor lighting elements have increasingly been used. LED lamps for cars - this has already become a popular and pretty fashionable trend. Such devices are the best choice, they produce more light per watt of energy and, unlike traditional lamps, operate almost without heating.
LEDs are an ideal solution to update the appearance of optics, they improve visibility and, most importantly, security. LED lamps for cars have a long service life, which is associated with high resistance to vibration loads. Often, manufacturers install a semiconductor element in a waterproof housing. LEDs significantly improve the characteristics of the triggering of the brake lights, which is associated with a higher speed of achieving the working glow than incandescent lamps. This provides a better response for drivers.
LED lamps for cars are classified according to their purpose:
- parking lights for headlights;
- taillights and brake lights;
- devices for interior lighting;
- fog lights ;
- daylight lights.
A feature of LED lamps for the front position lamps is their proximity to the main headlights, and therefore, they are exposed to high temperatures, which can reach one hundred degrees Celsius. Accordingly, the crystals of the semiconductor elements heat up and quickly fail. Some manufacturers have protected their lamps with current stabilizers, which reduce the rated current in the elements with increasing temperature and thereby increase the life of such products.
To ensure a good glow of the rear position lights and brake lights, two-pin base lamps are most often used. They are 14 semiconductor multi-chip elements (14HP series), in another version (3x1W series) - three single-watt LEDs that operate in a pulsed mode. There are also models of base lamps with one contact, but they are extremely rare.
Interior lighting is provided by LED lamps for auto fiston type. Their length is from 31 to 41 mm. These devices are divided into three types: the first is installed in the lampshade connector, it is identical to regular lamps; the second type is also inserted into the lampshade connector, but has much larger dimensions; the third is a rectangular LED matrix (they have a different number of LEDs).
LED foglights are not very popular, because they are significantly inferior to xenon and halogen lamps.
Car enthusiasts have gained immense popularity of LED lamps for H4 cars. Such devices differ in strong bright white light, they make the car more visible on the road, regardless of weather conditions and time of day. This increases the safety of your machine. It is important to use lamps of type H4 for marker lighting in conditions of heavy fog or limited visibility.
High brightness and light temperature, reliability and durability - these are the main qualities that characterize LED lamps for cars. Reviews of motorists about these devices indicate the simplicity of their use, long life and a large selection of glow colors.
