102 Engineering Partner LED spotlights take up a lot of installation space and development time: Compact LED reflector module solution relieves development and reduces time-to-market Can be integrated into different vehicle concepts and mobility solutions regardless of manufacturer By Dr. Aline Schmitt, Marketing/Public Relations Officer at ARRK Engineering GmbH Seeing and being seen is still the be-all and end-all of road safety. Reflector or projection headlights, among other things, ensure this. Although the latter generally have more functionalities, they are not suitable for every mobility concept. They require more installation space and a more complex control system, which has a noticeable impact on the development time and cost factor. LED-based reflector technologies with their focus on lighting performance are therefore still a popular alternative This is all the more the case as LEDs are far superior to older, cost-effective technologies such as halogen or HID lamps due to their high energy efficiency and durability. Now that many headlight manufacturers have specialised in the more lucrative projection technology, customers from the mobility industry are forced to develop cheaper or smaller front lighting systems themselves, which in turn drives up development time and costs. A new LED reflector module, the prototype of which ARRK Engineering GmbH and ARRK SPG Prototyping presented for the first time at ISAL 2023, provides a remedy. The module solution requires little installation space and can be integrated Many cars are better served with simpler but functional LED reflectors.
