Auxiliary Lights for Cars Applications in Safety Upgrade Kits

Car headlights installed at the factory barely provide the minimum required level of lighting under difficult conditions such as a dark country road, heavy rain, mist or an off-road trail. This is where auxiliary lights come into the picture when safety upgrade kits are developed. Properly installed auxiliary lights enhance peripheral vision, reduce eye strain and provide the driver with an adequate time to react.

We Danyang Yeya Opto-Electronic Company Limited, specialize in the production of multi-function LED lights that are very useful for safety related upgrades. Here are the four key functions of auxiliary lights in car safety kits.

1. LED Driving Lights for Extended Down-Road Vision

Standard low beam headlights usually provide 50-70 meters of light range which is minimal for the driver to safely react when driving at a highway speed. High beams, on the other hand, would offer a longer range but the driver has to make a trade-off for peripheral lighting which would be quite poor. LED driving lights which are often produced as auxiliary light additions enhance the road visibility to 200-300 meters far away with a focused light pattern.

These lights are mounted either on the grille, the bumper or on the roof rack and are wired to the high beams, or alternatively on an independent switch. The driving lights from Danyang Yeya consist of high lumen LED chips and precise optics to render a clear, distant spot beam. The light is designed not to cause the approaching vehicles glare, but give utmost visible distance. This modification is particularly useful for drivers residing in rural areas or in mountainous regions where encountering a wild animal or obstacles on the road may be quite frequent.

2. Fog Lights for Adverse Weather Conditions

 Fog, rain and snow would cause normal headlight beam to diffuse on water molecules resulting in a glare and a wall of white light to the driver. To counteract the impact, a specific, wide flat beam with a sharp cut-off at the horizon is engineered. This light shines down towards the road and sides and gives visibility of lane markings, but instead of reflecting in the moisture, it guides it past those obstacles.

We at Danyang Yeya provide fog lights that use specific optics along with amber or yellow tint on the lens, making them cut through mist more effectively. They are designed to prevent ingress of moisture and have polycarbonate lens that resists impact and does not turn yellow over time from sunlight exposure (UV protection). The incorporation of this product to your car safety kit would make driving easier during poor conditions.

3. Cornering Lights for Intersection and Parking Lot Safety

There is often an underriding hazard to be noticed, a dark spot is formed when the driver is turning at low speed in urban conditions. Standard headlights beam forward only, the vicinity to the right and to the left will be left out. This risk can be eliminated with the cornering lights which may be switched on either with turn signals or with the steering wheel angle sensors.

Danyang Yeya offers low-profile LED cornering lights that can be mounted on corners of the bumper or in the side mirrors. Their beam pattern is wide and spread, to cover area from front wheels to the right or left of the vehicle. They significantly improve safety for the pedestrians, bollards or other low-rise objects when you are driving slowly in a parking lot, narrow alley or an intersection, helping to save a trip to the repair shop. It's amazing how simple addition of this feature into a car safety kit may help you to avoid this problem.

4. Daytime Running Lights for Conspicuity and Compliance

A proven increase of 5 to 10 percent in preventing multi-vehicle accidents in the daytime is shown when DRLs are used. Many new models have them already factory-installed but a vehicle that does not will benefit from the addition of DRLs in its safety kit. The vehicle would have increased visibility for the drivers of other vehicles as well as pedestrians and cyclists.

We offer both narrow beam LED light strips and multi-row light bars which may be integrated into the grille or air intakes of a vehicle, also into the lower part of the bumper. These are programmed to dim when headlights are turned on in order to avoid interference at night. A white color temperature of 5,000 to 6,000 K will ensure that the DRLs are coherent with modern OEM appearance, while providing the benefits that only the ability to be noticed early would give you. It is very simple and efficient addition both for family car and fleet vehicles.

Summary

The functions of auxiliary lights are 4-fold; driving lights will increase the visibility for both distant and highway driving, fog lights provide a clear sight under bad weather conditions, cornering lights enhance visibility during a turn at low speeds, and daytime running lights make the vehicle much more visible at all times of day. We Danyang Yeya Opto-Electronic Company Limited have been developing and producing auxiliary lights with a concept of first-class quality, stringent quality control and support of OEM/ODM customization for cars, SUVs, etc. Contact us for inquiry regarding your safety upgrades.
