	New Dimensions in Function and Design

LED Technology
Innovative LED technology is not only setting new design and technology standards in the commercial transport industry – the use of LEDs in original passenger vehicle lighting equipment is on the increase. As a result of their efficiency and versatile design possibilities, LEDs are highly sought after by European car manufacturers and account for an increasing proportion of vehicle lighting in the automotive industry, particularly in the area of rear and signal lighting.

Hella is a leading innovator in the field of LED lighting and has been successfully utilising LEDs in commercial signal lighting equipment for more than 10 years.

In addition to their exceptional light output and colour, LEDs offer a number of decisive advantages compared to conventional globe technology:

• Versatile design possibilities and configuration options
• Low energy consumption – LEDs reduce electrical power consumption by more than 80% allowing for less strain on both alternator and battery
• High operating reliability
• Impervious to vibration and shock – ideal for use under the most severe conditions
• Long service life (> 10,000 hours)
• Fast response times for greater safety
• 100% dust- and waterproof (resistant to high pressure washing)
• Suitable for retrofitting

CELIS® Fibre Optic Lighting Technology
CELIS® (Central Lighting Systems) light guide technology is a revolutionary lighting concept previously reserved for original equipment in current BMW 5-Series and 7-Series passenger cars.

Hella offers exclusive BMW upgrade headlamps and rear combination lamps as well as auxiliary driving lamps utilising CELIS® light guides, allowing motorists to upgrade their vehicles to the latest in innovative lighting technology.

CELIS® light guides are made from flexible fibreglass and feature unique prism optics for a uniform light distribution. These flexible light guides are fed by powerful LEDs for exceptional light output and colour. The combined use of LED and CELIS® light guide technology allows for new and versatile design possibilities in both original equipment and aftermarket accessories.
