Comparison of the Photometric Requirements for Dipped Beam as a Replacement for Daytime Running Lights

Abstract

The use of dipped beam during the day is a substitute for the use of daytime running lights. In order to answer the question whether in photometric terms the dipped beam can replace the daytime running lights, a detailed photometric analysis had to be carried out. The article presents a comparison between two types of lights in the range of the required values of luminosity and the angular ranges of visibility to be replaced by dipped beam.
