Audi Offers LED Headlights For Its Flagship A8

Audi has designed LED headlights out there as an optional extra on one more car, the fresh new A8. LED headlights are also available on the Audi R8 sportscar.

Audi states that that the complete LED headlights offer the A8 an "unmistakable look even in daylight, and a lot more so after the fall of darkness. lot easier on the eyes and reduces fatigue. "

The LED lamps are "zero-maintenance" and intended for the lifetime of the car. They will also have very low power usage. The low beams, for instance, use up only 40 watts per unit, a bit less in comparison with the current highly efficient xenon plus headlights.

The low beams consist of 10 small lens modules offering through the headlight in a eye-catching arc called as the "wing" due to its shape. Just underneath this is one more arc of 22 white and 22 yellow LED bulbs for the daytime running lights (DRLs) and the corner lights. All these appear to the viewers as homogeneous, ongoing strip of light.

Positioned over the "wing" are the high beams, in whose light is produced by 2 highly effective four-cell LED lights and a surface reflector-free system. An aid function changes in between the low beams and the high beams. Additional high-output LEDs generate the highway light and the cornering light. A independent fan and heat sink control the heat range of each headlight unit and avoid condensation.

With the exception of the reversing light, the tail lights are completely equipped with LED technology, with each side that contains 72 LEDs. The Audi used SMD LED lights, which can be packed closely along with high accuracy, in many places because of the minimal amount of space out there.

The tail lights, which take only 9 watts per unit, form a trapezoidal contour that sees as an even, homogeneous strip. Its top section is a light guide-a plastic tube-and the lower segment is a distinct, reflective freeform surface. It is wider than the upper section to optically lower the center of gravity of the A8's tail end. The turn signal is positioned on the upper segment of the tail light and forms a wide, horizontal stripe.

The five-portion brake light is positioned within the trapezoid. When the new A8 decelerates strongly, the brake light flashes quickly to alert the traffic behind it. The hazard warning lights are triggered when the car comes to a stop. A number of of the LEDs in the brake light can be controlled in such as way as to function as the back fog light.

The A8 also has an optional background lighting package. LEDs will light up the center console, tunnel, door pockets and door sill trim. Drivers can select from three interior LED colors (Polar, Ruby, and Ivory), and can also adjust the brightness through the Audi Multimedia Interface (MMI).
