"Driving ahead” was the theme of the Osram stand at Automechanika with the company showcasing its latest automotive lighting developments and highlighting the business opportunities these can present.

Some of the innovations attracting interest included, LED replacement lamps for high beam, low beam and fog lights, a new product line in LED work lights and additional headlights, complete LED retrofit headlights for the VW Golf VII and updates for the Night Breaker performance lamps.
 
Also being shown were the latest upgrades for car lights in the Night Breaker range. Osram says these bulbs take vehicle lighting into new territory, particularly with regard to luminous intensity and the range of the light beam. There have been technical upgrades of the Night Breaker Laser and Xenarc Night Breaker Laser performance lamps. The brightness of these high-output lamps means that the road ahead is much better illuminated so drivers have more time to see and avoid dangerous situations, obstacles and other road users. With up to 200 percent more brightness than the legal minimum requirements (ECE R98/R99), the Xenarc Night Breaker Laser is the top performer in the Osram xenon portfolio.

In manufacturing the new generation of Night Breaker Laser, the halogen version of the performance lamp, Osram uses the innovative technique of laser coating removal. The unique design with the laser-engraved product name provides better protection against counterfeits. The Night Breaker Laser with 150 percent more brightness than the legal minimum to ECE R98/R99 is available in H1, H3, H4, H7, H8, H11, HB3 and HB4 versions.

A newcomer to the market was also on display, the first uncoated performance lamp, the Night Breaker Silver. The lamp shines up to 100 percent more light on the road than the legal minimum requirement to ECE R112/R37 and the light beam has a range of up to 130 meters for much better visibility. Night Breaker Silver is available in H1, H4, H7 and H11 versions. Its attractive price makes it the perfect entry level model.
