As you drive the streets and highways you are struck by the harmonious integration of styling and functionality by the tail lights of the latest automobiles.
Rear lights are designed to serve two functions: to light up so that other drivers can see the car in front of them as well as to let the drivers know when the car is braking.
Although, the use of LEDs in rear lights is not new, the integration of LEDs in unique patterns creates a whole new category of rear lights.
While the focus on design is obvious, there is innovative technology lurking within the latest LED tail lights.
Once reserved for BMWs and Mercedes Benzes, rear lights with LED technology are starting to appear on cars across the range.
Even the aftermarket has started to embrace this technology of car lighting.
The ability of LEDs to withstand shocks, vibrations, extreme temperatures, and lower power consumption when compared to incandescent lighting make it a perfect solution for automotive tail lights.
Automotive LED lighting has been on the leading edge of progress when it comes to efficient energy design.
LED rear lights drastically reduce energy consumption anywhere from 30% to 90% when compared to incandescent lighting.
Also, LED's last much longer.
With more emphasis being put on green house gas emissions, automobiles that use less energy are becoming more popular.
LED bulbs are much smaller than incandescent bulbs and thus allow for additional power savings.
The thing about LED tail lights is that they look indisputably special when lit up.
It's almost like they come from another world with their sharper, more aggressive appearance.
