What are the characteristics of an automotive tailgate led light bar?

1. Efficiency/lumens per watt: compared with standard incandescent lamps, automotive tailgate led light bars can produce more light output per unit of electrical energy consumed. But compared with halogen lamps, the actual light output advantage of automotive tailgate led light bars is not obvious. The latest automotive tailgate led light bars have excellent lumens per watt, but some values are obtained under optimized conditions, usually not under the highest output conditions. Generally speaking, when the current of the automotive tailgate led light bar increases, the light output does not increase linearly. Therefore, even if the automotive tailgate led light bar outputs x lumens at 0.5A current, it will not output 2x lumens at 1.0A current.

2. Response speed: take brake lights and turn signal tubes as examples. Assuming that the vehicle speed is 125 kilometers per hour, that is, 35 meters per second, the hot start time of incandescent lamps is about 250 milliseconds, and the fast response automotive tailgate led light bar can be about 8 meters earlier. A brake warning is issued at a distance of 5, thereby effectively avoiding a collision with the car. The same is true for indicator lights.

3. Directionality: another key feature is the way the automotive tailgate led light bar emits light. Unlike incandescent lamps, automotive tailgate led light bars emit light through only one surface, which is good for headlights and aeronautical chart light applications but may not be suitable for other lighting applications for cabin lights.



What are the advantages and disadvantages of an automotive tailgate led light bar?

Advantages: 1. Long life span, generally up to tens of thousands of hours or even 100,000 hours. Some people believe that if automotive tailgate led light bars are used for automotive lighting in the future, the entire life cycle of the car will not need to be replaced. 2. High efficiency and low energy consumption. The automotive tailgate led light bar light source can directly produce the red, amber, and other colors required by the car lights, without color filtering, no loss, and the power utilization rate is as high as 80%. 3. With high light quality, it is an environmentally friendly product with basically no radiation and a "green" light source. 4. The automotive tailgate-led light bar structure is simple.

Disadvantages: 1. High cost. The high price makes it impossible for ordinary cars to install automotive tailgate led light bars and cannot be promoted in the market. 2. There is no industry standard, and the product quality is uneven; 3. The lighting design is a bit difficult; 4. The maintenance performance is poor; 5. The point light source makes the appearance of the lamp have a certain gap with the light bulb we are used to accepting the challenge.
