LED lamps for cars: classification, purpose

Now in the automotive industry in optical systems, semiconductor lighting elements are increasingly being used. LED lamps for cars - it has already become a popular and rather fashionable trend. Such devices are the best choice, they produce more light per watt of energy and, unlike traditional lamps, work practically without heating.

LEDs are an ideal solution that allows you to update the appearance of the optics, they improve visibility and, most importantly, safety. LED lamps for cars have a long service life, which is associated with high resistance to vibration loads. Often manufacturers install a semiconductor element in a waterproof enclosure. LEDs significantly improve the characteristics of the brake lights, which is associated with a faster rate of achievement of the working glow than that of incandescent lamps. This provides a better response of drivers.

LED lamps for cars are classified according to their purpose:

• Parking lights for headlights;
• Rear position lights and brake lights;
• Devices for interior lighting;
• fog lights;
• Daytime running lights.

A feature of LED lamps for front position lamps is their proximity to the main headlights, and therefore they are exposed to a high temperature, which can reach one hundred degrees Celsius. Accordingly, crystals of semiconductor elements are heated and quickly fail. Some manufacturers have protected their lamps with current stabilizers, which reduce the rated current in the cells when the temperature rises and thereby increase the service life of such products.

To ensure a good glow of the rear position lights and stop lamps, two-contact base lamps are most often used. They are 14 semiconductor multicrystal elements (series 14HP), in another version (series 3x1W) - three single-watt LEDs that operate in a pulsed mode. There are also models of socle lamps with one contact, but they are extremely rare.

Interior lighting is provided by LED lamps for auto fiston type. Their length is from 31 to 41 mm. Separate these devices into three types: the first is installed in the plafond connector, it is identical to the standard lamps; The second view is also inserted into the plafond connector, but it has much larger dimensions; The third is a rectangular LED matrix (they have different number of LEDs).

LED fog lights are not very popular, because they are much inferior to xenon and halogen lamps.

At avtolyubiteley have won huge popularity light-emitting diode lamps for auto Н4. Such instruments differ in strong bright white light, they make the car more visible on the road, regardless of weather conditions and time of day. This increases the safety of your machine. It is important to use lamps type H4 for overall lighting in conditions of strong fog or reduced visibility.

High brightness and temperature of light, reliability and durability - these are the main qualities that characterize LED lamps for cars. Testimonials of motorists about these devices testify to the simplicity of their use, the long service life and the large choice of the color of the glow.
