FlatLight: Ultra‑slim, affordable homogeneity
Our award-winning FlatLight technology delivers highly homogeneous rear-light signatures with ultra-slim 5 mm modules, integrating tail, brake, and indicator functions in a single optical element . Micro-optics smaller than a grain of salt enable premium surface illumination and flexible styling while significantly reducing installation space; rear applications achieve up to 80 percent lower energy consumption compared with conventional LED tail lights. In series since 2024, FlatLight simplifies lamp architecture and supports complex welcome and farewell scenarios. The FlatLight family includes different variants, as well as the premium Digital FlatLight.
Essential EdgeLight: Sculptural, cover‑free 3D edge light
Essential EdgeLight transforms signal lighting into a sculptural, precise and three‑dimensional signature – engineered as a cover‑free exterior element that needs no separate end cap, as the robust light guide acts as the outer lens. With Essential EdgeLight optics, multiple signal functions can be implemented in just a single chamber. Horizontal, vertical, or combined orientations – and lengths up to roughly 1.7 meters – enable extensive, wrap‑around signatures with sharp, premium presence. “Essential” stands for a considerable reduction in components – supporting more sustainable product designs, reducing complexity, and enabling modern, sculptural signal lighting.
