eXchangeable Light Engine
LED lighting for all
Integration of LED lighting in all vehicle classes
From being a basic function to support nighttime driving, traditional automotive lighting has evolved into a key distinguishing feature for automotive design. The driving force behind this development is the digitalization of light and the widespread use of LED technology, which exponentially increases the possibilities for new functionalities and performance. LEDs not only provide significant efficiency benefits and new design options, but also higher light quality for better visibility and comfort.
Through "LEDification," the technology is increasingly penetrating all car segments and regions. One disadvantage, however, is the high price of LEDs, particularly at a time when OEMs are facing great cost pressures. Innovative LED solutions have therefore mostly been limited to premium vehicles. To extend the tremendous advantages of the technology to entry level cars as well, cost-effective and standardized modules are in demand.
With the eXchangeable Light Engine, OSRAM Continental answers this challenge by making LED lighting available for all vehicle classes.
Flexibility
through modular design
Thanks to highly-efficient development cycles and a scalable approach with three performance variants, the eXchangeable Light Engine is a particularly advanced product in terms of luminous flux, size and performance. In addition, the innovative modular design approach allows the solution to be used in different headlamp types โ either in 2-, 3- or 4-reflector variants. The compact size contributes to even more flexibility.
