LED Technology

An LED (light-emitting diode) is a light-emitting semi-conductor which has a much longer service life and uses less power than conventional bulbs. The advantages of LED technology over conventional bulbs are their lower energy consumption, faster response time, more compact design and a longer service life (the entire life of the car). We install LEDs in the rear lights as well as in the turn indicators in the exterior mirror housings, for example. Thanks to their fast response time, other road users see light-emitting diodes more quickly. If a driver sees the brake lights of the car ahead sooner, this can help to reduce his stopping distance by around 5.5 metres at a speed of 60 mph. The high functional reliability and service life of LEDs increase safety thanks to the fact that rear lights and brake lights are less likely to fail.
