Ring, the automotive lighting and auto electrics supplier, has a state of the art lighting laboratory located at its headquarters in Leeds, UK, and while testing a range of bulbs in the industry has found worrying results, including bulbs that are not road legal. The laboratory team does not only test Ring and OSRAM’s own products, but also products from other automotive lighting companies to see how the quality compares and if it meets the legal standards. Recently, the company has found some worrying trends that there are bulbs being sold in the UK that are not compliant with current legislation and are therefore, not road legal.
Forvia Hella presented its sustainable headlamp concept at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Reducing the carbon footprint of a conventional headlamp by up to 70 per cent across its life cycle, the headlamp also weighs 60 per cent less, at 2kg, compared with the average headlamp’s 5kg. The concepts integrated into the concept include the use of fewer components, with the ability to replace individual parts of the headlamp, and the use of sustainable materials, such as bio-based plastics and recycled materials.
