Standardized LEDs to slash the cost of automotive signal lamps

By combining standardized light sources and LED technology the Osram expects to fundamentally change the automotive signal lamp sector, enabling a uniform platform with four different light sources to cover all the important signal applications in vehicles. This will allow simple replacements, reduce complexity and overall costs for car manufacturers and it will lead to faster development processes thanks to adapted standards, the company anticipates. The UN/ECE (R128) standardized lamps will be available in four types for different signal applications in yellow (LY5), white (LW5, L1) and red (LR5).
