LED’s provide a number of improved safety advantages when used in cars and automobiles. These light emitting diodes generate very low heat output, which means they can be placed in smaller areas without concern for automobile heat and fire damage. The LED also will also be visible since they turned on faster than the standard incandescent bulb. If LED’s are used in the turn indicator taillights of cars, the faster turn on can provide following automobile drivers with earlier warning of an impending traffic change. Savings in reduce accidents and collateral damage can be significant.
Automobiles travelling at highway speeds can have as much as 18 to 22 feet of extra travelling time for taillights using light emitting diodes because they turn on faster than normal light bulbs. While this extra warning does not seem like much, it could mean the difference between avoiding an accident and the subsequent damage!
The LED car light uses less energy, burns cooler and is smaller making them easier to place in various locations in automobiles. The savings are numerous for automobile manufacturers and consumers. LED lights use less energy, reducing power consumption, require lighter gauge wire and reduced out put from the cars alternator. As the diodes require less energy, reduced electrical power consumption improves gasoline ratings for automobiles and saves money for consumers.
LED bulbs may cause some newer vehicles to indicate a bulb is burnt out (because of their low power consumption). Some cars indicate this by increasing the flash rate of the turn signals, some do not flash at all. This can be remedied with load resistors wired across the turn signal bulbs to simulate a filament bulb load. We have these available
