2 | Lighting technology LIGHT MEANS LIFE Why the right light is so important to us Tired or awake, dynamic or slow, in a cheerful or dreary mood – our physical constitution and emotional moods are determined to a great extent by light. Not being able to “refuel on light” often leads to sluggishness and bad moods, which is especially noticeable in the shorter winter days. However, it isn’t only our body that depend on receiving light. One glance at a road reveals that nothing can move and/or drive without the right light. After all, in addition to guaranteeing one’s own safety by creating a clear field of vision, the protection of other road users is also key. The strengths of virtually maintenance-free LEDs are in their very high service life. What's more, the luminosity and energy requirements are so efficient that despite a higher purchase price, there are cost benefits in the long run, especially for large vehicle fleets. Masterfully efficient, LEDs generate optimum light yield with other positive effects, especially for trucks. After all, by conserving energy reserves the service life of the vehicle battery can be extended, while lower CO2 emissions contribute to a better climate. In all weather conditions and of course in the dark night – hazards can be detected in time and a great degree of safety is ensured with modern vehicle lighting. In addition, various lighting systems also offer exciting possibilities to create a memorable and brand-specific look. Current developments clearly show that modern LED technology is influencing the spirit of the times. In so doing, it isn't just a matter of classic front lighting with main, auxiliary, high-beam, daytime driving lights and rear lights; LEDs are also excellent as signal lights and side marker lighting, so that many areas of application can be found for trucks and other commercial vehicles.
