The first edition Lighting Report provides a comprehensive market overview
including exterior and interior lighting applications, the regulatory
environment along with market drivers, data and forecasts. It also covers
in-depth technological developments and includes a comprehensive section on
key supplier profiles along with a company index.
Report Background
Automotive lighting was a relatively stable technology for many years. Now the
sector is being driven by safety and energy efficiency issues. A wealth of new
developments currently in the early or middle stages of implementation is set
to transform the automotive lighting sector over the next few years. The
change will come after a period of relative stability that saw the
introduction of only occasional new technologies, such as halogen bulbs,
complex reflectors and high-intensity discharge lamps.
However, recent years have seen the development of Advanced Front-lighting
Systems (AFS), Curve Adaptive Lighting (CAL), intelligent lighting systems and
the increasing use of light-emitting diodes (LED). While driven by safety and
efficiency requirements, these new technologies provide opportunities for
increased design freedom.
