LED rear combination lamps: styling, robustness, life, packaging, installation, and opportunities for intelligent signal lighting

Abstract

The automotive industry is rapidly increasing the adoption of LED technology in all vehicle lighting applications. In the near future, LED solutions are expected to capture significant market share for exterior signal lighting. This paper will investigate why LED signal lighting is important to automotive OEMs and consumers, and will exhibit how the latest product development from Lumileds Lighting can enable the ultimate RCL application: a single LED instead of a conventional light bulb.
