Is LED daytime running lights really safe?

LED daytime running lights have become the configuration of many cars in recent years. Whether it is joint venture, autonomy, low-end or luxury, people's comments on this configuration are also mixed, and opinions vary, I will talk to you today. Daytime running lights are lamps that are more easily recognized when the vehicle is driving during the day and are installed in the front of the vehicle body. This light is not a light, nor is it for the driver to see the road, but to let others know that a car is coming, which belongs to the scope of the signal lamp. Some comments on daytime running lights: Drivers: my daytime running lights are always on, and my heart is always uncomfortable. Isn't this a waste of energy? Passerby A: What kind of lights do Nima turn on during the day? Sao Qi is exposed and stinks! Passerby B: Big Brother, your lights are not turned off! Passerby C: How is the man's car so bright? My eyes are all spent? What a nuisance! Daytime running lights belong to signal lights. Daytime running lights should meet the basic brightness requirements, but they should not be too bright to avoid interfering with others. Daytime running lights are different from ordinary dipped lights. They are specially designed for daytime running lighting. The energy saving effect of daytime running lights using LED technology is further improved, and the energy consumption is only 10% of that of ordinary dipped lights. When the car engine is started, the daytime running lights are automatically turned on, and the brightness is continuously increased to attract the attention of other motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians on the road. It should be noted that when the night comes and the driver manually turns on the dipped headlight, the daytime running light will automatically go out. Some drivers think they have daytime running lights, and in order to save electricity, they no longer turn on other lights. This is very bad, because only turning on daytime running lights at night will not only have a bad influence on others, but also do harm to oneself, although the daytime running lights are very bright outside. however, its actual lighting effect is very weak, and it can hardly illuminate the road for the driver in the car. Therefore, the driver with this device is prompted to turn off the daytime running lights in time when driving at night. The main function of daytime running lights is to provide the identification of vehicles. In northern Europe and North America countries, such as Sweden and Canada, because the winter is longer and it often snows, the Transportation Department stipulates that the lights must be turned on during the day. According to statistics, of traffic accidents are caused by unclear sight. A survey conducted by the German traffic control department shows that if you turn on the lights during the day, you can avoid 3 traffic accidents; The result of the pilot conducted by the Dutch ministry of communications in some cities in China is that the probability of serious traffic accidents has dropped by 5 to 12 when driving during the day. From this point of view, the provision of driving lights during the day is actually an emphasis on driving safety, reflecting respect for life. The wide application of daytime running lights stems from a standard for automobile lights imposed by the European Union. In order to improve driving safety, on September 24, 2008, the European Commission announced to the outside world that since February 7, 2011, all new passenger cars and minivans in the EU will be manufactured, as well as all kinds of trucks and buses that have been newly manufactured since August 7, 2012, daytime running lights must be installed ( Daytimernninglight (DRL). Judging from the EU countries that have begun to explore and respond to this regulation, the use of daytime running lights has indeed played a positive and effective role in improving road safety and reducing traffic accidents. Cars, trucks, buses and other vehicles have significantly improved their visibility after installing daytime running lights, thus increasing the safety of driving. For China, a big country in the production, sale and use of vehicles, driving safety is the primary concern. The author also expects that daytime running lights will no longer be a face-to-face high-end configuration, but will truly become a necessary lamp to improve safety.
