EBM-PABST AND DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS COLLABORATION LEADS TO INNOVATIVE FAN IN LED HEADLAMPS FOR HELLA
Advanced LED chips with increased light output, can now be used for automotive headlamps. Because of their long service life and compact size, LED lamps have become an attractive alternative to gas discharge lamps. Big advantages are the high endurance and new design possibilities. In addition, their high efficiency saves energy and and thus fuel. However, since the active chip surface is rather small, it requires adequate cooling. Fans optimized to the special needs of automotive headlamps deliver the required air flow for active cooling. In all this, high reliability and long life are indispensible for all headlamp components.
