Light is not just light: how Spotlight The way the road is illuminated is regulated differently by region. For example, in the United States dimmed headlights one Automobiles continue to illuminate both lanes in the distance. In contrast, the focus in the EU is more on the Illumination your own lane and minimizing glare for other road users. Hella now introduces a headlight that global requirements covers.
In order to ensure the specified light distribution, different optical systems have to be developed and manufactured for vehicle headlights depending on the area of application. Taking into account right-hand and left-hand traffic, up to twelve technically different headlights may be required for a worldwide vehicle model.

With the new world of spotlights from Hella for a global presence Premium manufacturer this variety of variants becomes superfluous. In this case, the light is adjusted using software-controlled SSL 100 light modules. The digital control can activate each pixel individually. The entire light distribution can reflect the respective regional regulations. For example, the identical headlamp illuminates a traffic circle in right-hand or left-hand traffic and prevents oncoming traffic from being dazzled.
Realize light functions through softwae
Hella is working consistently on the Digitization of light and in perspective, the entire range of LED headlights from 100 light pixels to high-resolution SSL | Digitally cover HD technologies with tens of thousands of light pixels. “With our new headlight models, we have a technical basis to implement all light functions using software and to adapt them flexibly to regional requirements.

This also includes additional functions like that glare-free high beam or projected orientation lines on the road, ”says Dr. Michael Kleinkes, responsible for global lighting technology development at Hella. "This enables us to further accelerate our development process and reduce the expenses required for development, production and logistics of regional spotlights."
With the SSL 100 module, Hella has the intelligent lighting control now fully implemented for the first time for a global automobile manufacturer. Series production of the headlights will begin in the middle of the year at the Mexican plant in Irapuato and at the end of the year at the plant in Jiaxing, China.
