LED Headlamps for the Renault Egeus Concept Car: A Lighting System Combining Compactness, Efficiency and Cutting-Edge Styling

FRANKFURT, Germany, September 13 -- Egeus, Renault's SUV concept-car, boasts an all-wheel drive system and an elegant, dynamic silhouette worthy of a top-end coupé. The sober design of the front-end features impressive boomerangshaped headlights developed by Valeo.

This compact lighting system is based on high-performance light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with Low and High Beam, Progressive Bending Light, Daytime Running Light and turn indicators.

All lighting functions are realized with high-performance LEDs that are semiconductors converting electrical energy directly into light. With their small size, powerful light emission, extreme reliability, low energy requirement, and record lifespan, LEDs are the technology of the future for automotive lighting.

With a light colour close to that of daylight, this technology increases visual comfort and road visibility.

Directional lighting using pre-oriented light sources

The electronic LED control unit adapts the quantity of light and orientation of the beam according to the driving conditions.

On a winding road, the direction of the beam is electronically managed by a specific function, while on the motorway, the diodes are activated and controlled automatically to provide optimal range without dazzle at all times.
