“Vehicle displays are becoming more pervasive and sophisticated, which calls for an increasingly precise combination of brightness and LED hiding to deliver the best image quality for drivers,” said Scott Thorley, vice president of product and program management at BrightView. “Our portfolio is engineered to help make the process easier for vehicle developers, combining capabilities for enhanced brightness and uniformity with efficiency and cost-effectiveness using super thin, ultra-light display films.”

BrightView’s mini-LED display films are engineered with cutting edge micro lens array (MLA) technology that consist of microscale lenses used to manage and shape light. As opposed to conventional diffusers that rely on light scattering, MLAs use refraction and total internal reflection to manage optics and provide better light uniformity and local dimming performance. BrightView’s MLA offerings are bolstered by the company’s roll-to-roll manufacturing process which produces larger, “pillar-to-pillar” displays to meet high-volume production needs for vehicles.

The new Brightline Mako and Minnow fixtures are well suited for a variety of applications, including broadcast studios, production studios, and large and mid-sized presentation rooms.  The profile spotlight LEDs offer noise-free, fanless conduction cooling and are available in tunable Variable White and RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) versions. The Mako spotlight uses interchangeable, prime lenses and is designed for longer throws within large rooms or studios. The Minnow covers a shorter throw and is ideal as a key and accent light. Brightline Minnows have a compact zoom lens, enabling precise and continual adjustment to create the desired beam size. 

“This new family of fixtures provide lighting designers with a new tool set that fits hand in glove with the rest of our product line,” said Kathy Katz, Co-Founder, Brightline. “The Mako and Minnow can be used as variable white spots, as well as color changing effects.”

Setting the Mako and Minnow apart from competitive products is the fact that the fixtures are conduction cooled. With conduction cooling, heat is transferred from the COB (Chip On Board) LED to the heat sink and then to the mass of the fixture. “We build all of our product lines around fanless designs,” added Katz. “When a fixture has no moving parts, its continual use is extended dramatically, which is the case with many of our studio fixtures that continue to operate after 20-plus years of daily use.”

The Mako and Minnow series feature a variable white LED (3200K-6000K) and 95+ CRI tunable white chip. Tunable white applications enable the user to independently control color temperature. The Mako and Minnow RGBW models provide full color spectrum performance and feature a 4-in-1 LED RGBW for the brightest output and boldest color rendering.

“Our new profile spotlights give lighting directors additional tools to satisfy the scenic demands of today’s innovative set designs found in small and large studios,” explained Katz. “The ability to control the size, shape and intensity of the beam of light presents lighting directors with a wealth of innovative options. We’re thrilled to offer our customers four new fixtures to help them fulfill their creative vision.”

Both lights are available for immediate shipping.

Like the H7-LED lamp, the H4-LED is brighter, lasts longer and produces a more attractive light than the halogen lamps fitted to older vehicles when they were manufactured.

Tests conducted under the supervision of TÜV Süd show that the Night Breaker H4-LED produces 230% more light than the minimum required under the ECE R112 standard for halogen headlamps, and with 50% less glare. This means that cars fitted with the Night Breaker can see and be seen better.

In addition, the Night Breaker H4-LED lasts up to five times longer than a standard halogen lamp. This reduces the frequency of visits to the service center for lamp replacement, as well as saving on the cost of replacing failed lamps.

The central element of the design is in the middle of the radiator grille: the radome, a translucent cover for radar systems, adorns the new Peugeot brand logo. “The radome is not only an important eye-catcher, but is also becoming increasingly important in the future with a view to autonomous driving. After all, it protects the sensors, which are essential for autonomous driving, from environmental influences and ensures their functionality,” says Dr. Frank Huber, Managing Director-Lighting Division, HELLA.

In the Peugeot 308, the radome conceals the automatic cruise control ACC with Stop & Go function including lane departure warning. The hook-shaped LED daytime running lights additionally emphasize the brand’s typical appearance at the front of the vehicle. The striking light is in the rear lighting with LED tail lights displaying the typical three claws. The implementation with EdgeLight technology creates a spatial 3D effect, which ensures a high recognizability of the vehicle on the road.

Due to the growing demand for electric vehicles, the interest in high-efficiency LED products for a light headlamp and less batteries consumption is increasing. Accordingly, the thermal dissipation performance of the headlamp has become an important task in order to improve the efficiency and lifetime against the temperature increase.

Seoul Semiconductor’s WICOP TE for headlamps has deviated from the previous method of attaching the LED package to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and can attach the package directly on the heatsink, designed to quickly discharge the heat generated in the headlamp.
