1 Answers
At night, vehicles driving straight through an intersection should alternately use high and low beams. The following is relevant information about automotive lighting: 1. Basic introduction: Automotive lights are various traffic lights installed on vehicles to ensure safe driving, divided into two categories: illumination lights and signal lights. From 1905 to 1912, to address road illumination ahead, acetylene headlamps with a spotlight design began to be installed, accompanied by a kerosene lamp serving as the rear license plate light. By 1945-1947, the minimum required assortment of external lighting fixtures had been finalized. Qualified automotive lights must comply with corresponding photometric, colorimetric, and basic environmental testing standards. 2. Development trends: Unconventional headlamp designs that align with the streamlined body shape will continue to evolve, and high-power gas discharge lamps may become the new generation of headlamp light sources. Research is ongoing to improve high-mounted brake lights and high-contrast combination rear lights.
