LED - Daytime Running Lights
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS UK LAW
Daytime running lights (sometimes referred to as DRLs or daylight running lamps) are low-wattage bulbs that are fitted to a car to improve visibility during daylight hours. The new daytime running lights law means that all new cars and small vans built in the EU after 7th February 2011± are to be fitted with the lights.
WHY IS THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS LAW BEING INTRODUCED?
The answer is simple - these lights improve road safety during daylight hours. The lighting makes cars more visible to pedestrians crossing the road, and to other motorists. In fact, studies carried out by the European Commission and the Department for Transport have both found that daytime running lights can reduce accidents and casualties during daytime hours.
WHY FIT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS?
Although the daytime running lights law does not require existing car owners to fit DRLs, many drivers are choosing to add them. Apart from the road safety benefits, the lights look stylish - because they're
associated with new, high-tech models, lots of people are using them as a quick and easy way to upgrade their motors. As more vehicles appear on the road with DRLs on, older vehicles will be at a disadvantage in terms of visibility. So it's expected that drivers with older vehicles will choose to add DRLs or will drive with sidelights or dipped headlights on. The problem with driving with headlights on is that it increases fuel consumption - DRLs are a better option, as they are made up of LED lights that consume less
power. Some even have a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours.
