Although we never pay attention to the car’s light fixtures, except perhaps in a situation where one of our headlight bulbs burns out. Lighting devices are very important for our safety and the safety of other road users in many situations.
Benefits of lighting devices
The main role of lighting devices is to emit light in the necessary situations in an appropriate manner with appropriate legal standards.
Where we all use light when using our car:
- Illuminate the road ahead to see at night where we are driving and avoid potential obstacles
- We use the light of car headlights during the day. In some countries of the world to make vehicles easier to spot on the road in bends with dense vegetation
- Use our rear stop lamps to let the drivers behind us slow down
- We use the direction indicators to let other drivers know that we want to turn. And the direction in which we are turning
- Also, a light inside the car cabin to make it easier to see the things we need to find
- Light the instrument panel to see all the necessary information about the condition of the car
- All four turn signals are on – as a notification of a car breakdown and the like.
- Extra light – for special driving conditions such as fog and others
The correctness of lighting devices
There are three main factors that affect the correctness of headlights. The first is the quality of the headlights themselves. The second is their adjustment, and the third is the correctness of their installation on the car.
For good road lighting and visibility of the end of the road and detection of potential pedestrians, it is necessary to adjust the headlights. In addition to avoid glare at others on the road, the headlights need to be adjusted properly.
The headlights can be adjusted manually or automatically (for cars with a higher level of equipment). It is also very important that the headlights are clean and that the bulbs that are installed give a sufficient amount of light that is prescribed by law.
When choosing headlights, preference should be given to high-quality goods produced only by reliable manufacturers. Halogen lamps are good because tungsten evaporates in a minimal amount, and that, as everyone knows, contributes to increasing light efficiency.
