LED automotive lighting, imperfect implimentation?

[Mr305WorldWide]

Hey boss...unless the LED's were specifically designed to have high CRI, many of them do not, regardless of the color temperature. It's possible that the xenons and halogens have BETTER CRI than most LED'S...

When you pay 30K+ for a car, they're not going to use cheap LED chips.

But you're right. Xenons and halogens have great CRI but LED's have been improving greatly with their CRIs. Many LED streetlights mimic exactly the color temp of Xenons.

As I mentioned before, while color temps may help general visibility, they're not indicative of High CRI.

Do you happen to have the spec or make of the car/headlight LED you're referencing? We can look it up together.

Nah youre not going to be able to find the exact chip of the led used. But i'm going to assume it has good CRI.

You can't be afraid to learn. Why are you assuming that the exact chip cannot be found? Do you work in the automotive industry and know something that I don't?

That kind of info is very specific and not readily available by the automaker. You'd most likely have to break a perfectly good headlight to find any info stamped on bulb if there's any info at all. Then you'd have to narrow it down to chip manufacturer.

So it all hinges on cost and convenience of information?

Yes pretty much. And availability of info. 😆

It helps to meet and know people lol.

lol true. Looking forward to traveling alot more next year and visiting some manufacturers.
