BMW, the leading producer of high-class luxury cars, have now come up with very new and innovative production cars with laser headlights. But they won’t be the sole carmaker to bring this innovative and unique change in the domain of auto lights.
In this fall season, BMW has made plans to release their newest and unique i8 plug-in hybrid sports car that has incorporated the very new laser technology. However, the basic or starting editions of BMW i8 is equipped with energy-efficient and high intensity LED Headlamps. There is also an optional “laser boost feature” that would give you an opportunity to raise the light beam up to 1,800 feet.
BMW in one of their statement mentioned that the light beams released from these laser headlights are extremely bright and can be compared to daylight that seems pleasant to the human eye.
Audi has also started their experiment in this laser technology. They are aiming to manufacture such a headlight that will be illuminating three times brighter light than the LED or Light emitting Diodes.
BMW manufacturers also stated that they are thankful to the latest laser technology, which has helped in increasing the energy efficiency at least by further thirty percent if compared to the "power-saving LED light".
Audi is planning to use their most innovative "matrix LED headlight technology" on their very recent R18 E-Tron Quattro racecar this June. The company has already demonstrated its laser technology in the "sports Quattro". But they are yet to reveal that when they will you this technology in the production vehicles.
BMW and Audi's headlights use lasers for very long distances and LEDs for "short-range" lighting.
This laser technology has another advantage. It permits the headlamp units be a little smaller than the regular ones. To be particular, "BMW’s Laser diodes" are ten times smaller than the "conventional LED diodes". These not only help to save the amount of space required to install a headlamp, but they are also much lighter than the other headlamps.
Will These Bright Laser Lights Make The Oncoming Traffic Blind?[/b]
Audi and BMW, both the car manufacturers had to answer few obvious questions that came up with the use of this latest technology in headlights. The first question was whether the laser Projects the light directly from the headlight unit? The answer was they were not.
Audi did not feel like commenting on the question when they were asked how safe the technology as a headlamp was.
BMW said that all its headlights has three blue laser illuminations that have been positioned at the "rear of the assembly" that projects the light on the mirrors, which is located in the front portion of the unit. This mirrors than focuses the laser illumination on lens that contains yellow Phosphorus. This Phosphorus transforms the light beams and makes exceptionally white and bright light that is more intense and sharp than the conventional LEDs.
This white light is then fired backward on a reflector that bounces diffused white light from the headlamp that does not give pain or harm eyes.
