What Are the Standards for Automotive Lighting Brightness?
1 Answers
Standard requires that the brightness of low beams should not be less than 1000 lumens, and high beams should not be less than 1450 lumens. Additional information about automotive lighting is as follows: 1. Headlights: The primary purpose of headlights is to illuminate the road and objects ahead to ensure driving safety. They can also use the alternation between high and low beams as a signal for overtaking at night. Headlights are installed on both sides of the front of the vehicle, with either 2 or 4 units per car. The bulb power ranges from 45~60W for high beams to 25~55W for low beams. 2. Fog lights: Fog lights are installed near the headlights or slightly lower. They are used in low visibility conditions such as fog, snow, heavy rain, or dust to illuminate the road and signal to oncoming vehicles. The light is mostly yellow because yellow light has a longer wavelength, providing better penetration through fog. The bulb power is typically 35W.
