Ring Aurora Daylight Running Lights (DRL)

Make Yourself Seen

Car lighting has two main purposes; to see and to be seen.

New for Autumn 2008 is the Aurora Day Light Running Lamp (DRL) from Ring Automotive.

The Aurora LED lights, are E marked to reg 87 which is specific to daytime running and uses 5 x 1.5 watt ultra bright LED bulbs.

Recently LED style lighting has become popular due to many vehicles currently on the road having built in LED lights, in particular the ‘Audi Style’ lighting.

The new unit is designed for retrofitting to give any vehicle an unmistakable modern look, that is sure to get your car noticed.

While drivers could use their headlamps for daylight running standard halogen bulbs will increase vehicle’s energy consumption.
LEDs have negligible energy consumption and compared to halogen bulbs have a superior long service life.

According to the SWOV the Institute for Road Safety Research in depth crash studies have shown that not having seen the other road user plays a role in 50% of daytime crashes.

Furthermore as a Day Light Running Lamp the Aurora will greatly contrast the car from it surroundings making it more visible helping reduce accidents.

With day light running compulsory in some European countries and not in others, the European Union is standardising DRL legislation for the positive benefit of reducing road casualties.

January 2011 will see the coming into force of European legislation that states all cars manufactured after that date will require E approved daylight running lights.

Motorists that fit Ring Automotive Aurora DRLs will have the pioneering technology required for 2011, now.
