FORVIA HELLA launches first RGB LED rear combination lamp with full-color light animations in China

Global automotive supplier FORVIA HELLA has brought an RGB LED rear combination lamp with full-color light animations into series production in China for the first time. It boasts a variety of new light-based functionalities and thus addresses the increasing demand for new opportunities for brand differentiation and personalization.

The RGB LED rear combination lamp is used in the new luxury C-class sedan Z10 of LYNK & CO, a brand of the car manufacturer Geely Auto Group (collectively referred to as “Geely”). The electric vehicle has been available in the Chinese market since 5 September 2024.

The RGB LED rear combination lamp that FORVIA HELLA has developed for LYNK & CO can generate a total of 256 different color variants from the three basic shades of red, green and blue, thus creating not only dynamic but also multi-colored lighting animations. In addition to welcome/goodbye scenarios, this also includes colored animations after locking the vehicle, during the charging process or as a burglar alarm. The legally prescribed light functions, such as tail light and brake light, position light and indicator light, are thus not only realized in purely functional terms. Specially developed 3D optical elements in the light enable a particularly striking light signature and unmistakable aesthetics for the rear of the vehicle.
