CheckoutCar dashboard lighting
Thanks to the dashboard, the driver monitors the car's technical
performance during the trip. Nowadays, the dashboard of vehicles has changed
significantly due to modern electronic devices. Car interior instrument lights also apply to the
lighting of the instrument panel to ensure ease of reading technical data.
When is it necessary to replace the dashboard backlight?
Many car owners replace traditional light bulbs with more modern ones
to improve the quality of displaying technical indicators. It allows you to
refine the car interior's appearance and enhance the displayed indicators'
quality.
Some cars use traditional light bulbs, the lighting quality of which
could be much better than LED backlighting. In this case, it is necessary to
replace the backlight to improve the quality of the displayed indicators. Or
the car owner is tired of the old lighting and plans to update it to more
preferable colors.
Advantages of LED dashboard lighting
LED lighting has several advantages compared to traditional instrument
panel lighting, namely:
●
Low energy
consumption;
●
A long period
of use;
●
Ensuring
uniform illumination;
●
Little
heating of the light bulbs, which does not transfer heat around;
●
Better
lighting of the instrument panel;
●
Such light does
not tire the driver's eyes, reducing visual strain;
●
The
appearance of the dashboard changes dramatically.
LED lighting for car interior instruments provides an opportunity not
only to improve the quality of instrument lighting but also to apply an individual
approach to color solutions, thereby modernizing part of the car interior.
What are the best light bulbs to use for the dashboard?
Most drivers prefer LED bulbs due to their high quality and uniform
illumination. LED lamps are small in size, so they can be installed anywhere on
the instrument panel to illuminate the instruments and various control buttons.
LEDs are easily soldered, and optimal and uniform illumination is achieved even
with a small number.
LED lighting of the instrument panel can be made in two versions:
●
Separate
diodes – This installation provides high-quality lighting because you use the
number of light bulbs that you need; in addition, you can alternate the colors
of the diodes for beauty;
●
Use an LED
strip, which allows you to change the overall color scheme of the dashboard –
such an installation is easier and faster, but the individuality of the design
is lost, and if one light bulb fails, the entire strip will need to be
replaced.
You can create single-color and combined lighting using LEDs by
installing diodes of different colors. Because diodes have low power
consumption, the car engine can be quickly started even when the LED lighting
is turned on.
Recommendations for choosing LED light bulbs
When purchasing LED light bulbs, paying attention to their color and
the degree of brightness is recommended. The backlighting of the instrument
panel should be such that the meter readings are displayed. But remember that
too bright lighting (especially at night) can tire the driver's eyes faster,
negatively affecting driving quality.
Also, purchase diodes from the same batch because shades of the same
color from different sets may vary slightly. And after the installation is
complete, it can be noticeable and annoying.
A wide variety of LED backlights for the instrument panel in a car can
be found on the All Automotive Accessories website, where you can choose any
backlight. The entire range is of high quality.
