Mercedes-Benz Multi-Beam LED Headlights

2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS Facelift Reveals Multi-Beam LED Headlights

“In high-beam operation, the multi-beam LEDs can cast a light range as far as 485 metres down the road - a 20 percent improvement over previous systems.”

It’s very smart as well, check out the video below.

Now that’s a thrower. What LED does it use? XM-L2? Can we dedome it for better throw? :stuck_out_tongue:

That requires about 59 thousand lux.

Led headlights are old hat. Laser headlights is where the money is here

Laser headlights still generate light from a block of phosphors, so I don't see an advantage if that's all it does. What does make it special is when it's combined with sensors that are used to aim the light away from rain drops so that there's less glare. Even so, I wouldn't expect that technology in mainstream cars for at least a couple decades.

I’d be happy if they could control the PWM - gives me a headache at night.

PWM on some Cadillac led tail lights are annoying.
I also have a Dell LED laptop that uses low frequency PWM to control brightness. very annoying.

Oh, thanks for the video. Really cool.

If you're responding to me, there would have to be a pulse to avoid hitting the rain drops. The benefit from not seeing the rain drop should greater than whatever problem the pulse might cause for you. I believe that system operates each headlight independently, so the pulsing of an individual headlight on the road surface shouldn't be noticeable unless both lights happen to pulse off at the same time. Even so, rain normally hinders vision so much that I think there would still be a big net improvement of comfort with driving in the rain.

Impressive technology applied, very good lighting that provides :open_mouth:

Thanks for sharing

It will never happen but they should sell this as a retrofit for every car

I will do a review for yall when I get it………………………………………IN MY DREAMS!!! :stuck_out_tongue:
