Day driving lights are showing off or safety needs

The LED daytime running lights have become the configuration of many cars in recent years. Whether the joint venture is autonomous or low-end or luxurious, the comments on this configuration have been mixed for a time. There are many opinions, and today we talked to everyone. . The daytime running light is a light that is more easily recognized when the vehicle is traveling during the day and is mounted on the front of the vehicle body. This light is not a light, nor does it enable the driver to see the road, but to let others know that there is a car coming in. It belongs to the category of signal lights.

Some comments about daytime driving lights:

Driver: My daytime driving lights are always on and my heart is always upset. Isn't that wasting electricity to waste energy?

Passer-by A: What lights are open during the daytime?

Passerby B: Big Brother, your headlights are off!

Passer-by C: How was that person's car so bright? Did my eyes shine? Really annoying!

Daytime driving lights are signal lights

The daytime running light must meet the basic brightness requirements, but it should not be too bright so as not to interfere with others. The daytime running light is different from ordinary low-beam lights. It is specially designed for daytime driving lights. It uses the daytime running light of LED technology, and the energy-saving effect is further improved. The energy consumption is only 10% of ordinary low-beam lights. When the car engine is started, the daytime driving lights are automatically turned on, and the brightness is continuously increased to attract the attention of other motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians on the road. It should be noted that when the night falls and the driver manually turns on the dipped beam, the daytime light will automatically go out. Some drivers think they have a daytime running light. In order to save energy, they don't turn on other lights. It is very bad to do this, because at night, driving lights in addition to the daytime will not only cause bad influence to others, but also a danger to themselves. Although the daytime running light is bright, its actual lighting effect Very weak, almost no effect of lighting the road for the driver in the car. Therefore, drivers with this device are reminded to turn off the daytime driving lights in time when driving at night.

The greatest role of the daytime running lights is to provide vehicle visibility. In Northern and North American countries, such as Sweden and Canada, because of the longer winter season and frequent snowing, the traffic department stipulates that lights must be turned on during the day. According to statistics, 60% of accidents are caused by unclear sights. A survey conducted by the German traffic control department showed that if you turn on the lights during the day, 3% of traffic accidents will be avoided; and the Dutch Ministry of Transport will perform in some cities in the country. The result of the pilot project was that the headlights were turned on during the day and the chance of serious traffic accidents dropped by 5% to 12%. From this point of view, the provision of driving lights during the day is actually an emphasis on driving safety and embodies respect for life. The widespread use of daytime driving lights stems from a standard of automotive lighting that is mandatory by the European Union. In order to improve driving safety, on September 24, 2008, the European Commission announced to the outside world that all new passenger vehicles and minivans in the European Union have been in effect since February 7, 2011, and have been new since August 7, 2012. All kinds of trucks and buses in the factory must be equipped with daytime running lights (DRL).

Judging from the EU countries that have begun to explore the response to this provision, the use of daytime driving lights has indeed played an active and effective role in improving road safety and reducing traffic accidents. Vehicles such as cars, vans and buses have been significantly improved in visibility after daytime running lights have been installed, thereby increasing the safety of driving. For the production, sales and use of large vehicles in China, traffic safety is a major concern.

It is also expected that the daytime driving lights will no longer be a face-up high-end configuration, but will truly become a must-have for improving safety.
