LED
	New dimensions in function and design

The use and ongoing development of LED technology is a further major field of Hella's research work. LEDs have decisive advantages over conventional bulbs: low energy consumption, long service live, and quick reaction time. They offer more freedom for the design of combination rear lamps and new possibilites for the accessories sector.
Example BMW: LED light guide thechnology is being used on the front-end area in the position light to emphasize the contour of the BMW 5-series. In the combination taillamp, LEDs and specially developed prism lenses gurarantee an unmistakamble apearance. The BMW 7-series has a total of 74 LEDs in the taillamp that are raranged three-dimensionally. The LED taillamp is continued alog the lid of the luggage compartment as a slim red light strip. The rear fog lamp which uses a halogen bulb has been interated into the litht strip.
