Optronics Updates GloLight Gen II LED Lamps
Optronics International, America’s largest offshore vehicle lighting manufacturer, has announced that its newest generation of GloLight LED stop, tail, turn lamps will be more advanced, while costing significantly less than the original GloLight products introduced in 2012.
The company notes that it was able to drive material and manufacturing cost out of its new product by rethinking its internal design. Industrial designers at Optronics reduced the size of the lamp’s printed circuit board by 50 percent by reengineering it to incorporate LEDs on both its front and back surfaces.
LEDs on one side directly form the lamp’s illuminated central array, while LEDs on the opposite side use special reflective optics that further enhance the smooth, glowing outer band that gives GloLight lamps their signature look.
“Even though they glow more smoothly now, the most obvious difference between the original GloLight and our new GloLight Gen II lamp is the cost reduction,” Brett Johnson, president and CEO of Optronics International, said.
“This new product exemplifies our commitment to both continuous product improvement and price competitiveness,” Johnson added.
The GloLight Gen II lamps meet all FMVSS 108 and SAE photometric requirements for visibility and safety. The lamp’s electronics use solid-state, surface-mount device (SMD) construction that protects them against moisture, shock and vibration.
All GloLight Gen II lamps use highly durable polycarbonate lenses and housings that are sonically sealed.
