Advanced Lighting Technologies Seeing Light in the Vehicular Lighting Market Around 4.5 Billion Units to be Sold by 2010 Acc



Poor highway lighting, inefficient signal lighting and inadequate infrastructure are time and again, the major causes of traffic mishaps. Poor vehicular lighting compounds these problems further. Seeing and being seen, therefore, constitutes the most critical issue for enhancing the on-road safety. Considering the criticality of the factor, automakers devised high-performance lighting modules that emit uniform light beams, ensuring proper visibility, both to see and to be seen. High Intensity Discharge beams, Electronically controlled swiveling front lighting systems and non-blurring intelligent headlamps debuted the market as a result of their endeavor, to mark the dawn of 'electronic eyes' for vehicles on road.
