This new tool enables designers and engineers to quickly and easily select LEDs by function, color, regulatory requirements, luminosity and the number of LEDs required. “As demand for LEDs in exterior signal and forward lighting increases, we saw the need for a portable tool that enables simplified calculations for function-specific LED selection,” said Mike Godwin, Director, Visible LEDs, for Osram Opto Semiconductors, Inc. “The Automotive Signal LED Selector is a mobile extension of Osram’s extensive know-how in automotive LED selection offering access to the latest advances in LED technology.”
Applications in the tool include CHMSL (Center High Mounted Stop Lamps), Daytime Running Lights , Front Fog/Park/Position/Turn lights, High/Low Beams, Rear Fog/Park/Position/Stop/Turn lights, Reverse, and Side Marker/Turn indicators.
“Utilization of this new application tool in communication with an Osram sales and application engineer will enable the most suitable LED selection for emerging LED automotive lighting design concepts,” added Godwin.
