Retrofl ective LED headlamp technology A new LED headlamp with advanced retrofl ective LED technology engineered to emit a wider, brighter beam for increased visibility and safety, has been introduced by Optronics International. The Opti-Brite LED Headlamps also have a centralized LED cluster that enhances the lamp’s appearance. Optronics (www.optronicsinc. com) is a manufacturer and supplier of heavy duty LED vehicle lighting. The new headlamps have a centralized lens element that houses rear-facing LEDs and a supplemental LED lamp array. The rear-oriented LEDs interact with precision engineered metallic parabolic refl ectors to create a beam pattern that “is ultra bright, with broad, smooth photometric characteristics that approximate the color temperature of natural sunlight, improving visibility and reducing eye fatigue,” company offi cials say. The design is called retrofl ective because the LEDs producing the headlamp beam face backward, while the advanced refl ector geometry does all the work of projecting the beam forward. UPGRADES The headlamps are designed to allow users to easily upgrade their headlamps from standard halogen and HID sealed beam to a higher performing, longerlasting LED light source. Engineered to accommodate both 12V and 24V electrical systems, the lamps use standard H4 three-blade connectors. It takes minutes to convert any vehicle with compatible headlamps to the new LED technology, say the company offi - cials. The lamps have an expected service life of 30,000 hours. Like all LED products from Optronics, the new lamps come with its nohassle, one-diode lifetime warranty protection that will replace the lamp if even one diode fails.
