Can LED lights be installed without lenses?

LED lights cannot be installed without lenses. Without lenses, the light scattering will be severe, which actually reduces the visibility of the LED. Therefore, lenses must be installed when installing LED lights. LED bulbs have good light-focusing properties, and the light-blocking plates inside the lenses are used to switch between high and low beams. Automotive headlight lenses are divided into two types: single-beam lenses, which only have a low beam and use halogen or xenon bulbs; and dual-beam lenses, which use internal light-blocking plates to switch between high and low beams. When the light-blocking plate is closed, it is the low beam, and when it is open, it is the high beam. If the bulb inside the lens remains unchanged, there will be no change in the light output. Without lenses, the light-focusing capability of LED bulbs cannot be fully utilized due to the absence of light-blocking plates, leading to light scattering. Therefore, LEDs and lenses must be installed together. If LED headlights must be installed without lenses, high-performance LED bulbs and modified high/low beam reflector bowls are usually required to prevent light scattering from affecting visibility.
