Lumileds
Luxeon 3D LED ‘21 Automotive Lighting Technology Physical Demonstrator
Design by Sikko Valk & Marco van Overbeeke
Structural development: Sikko Valk
Automotive / Product Design
-
Developed in collaboration with the Lumileds’ application team, to showcase Luxeon 3D LED technology functioning potential & application possibilities, when used as Daytime Running Light (DRL) or Position light.
Showcased on among other; the VISION ‘22 automotive event for professionals:
A partial car nose section showing a base 'grille’ structure, with enveloping, double-bending and torquing Luxeon 3D LED path-curvature, covered by a black, translucent front nose panel, providing a camouflaging clean look in off-state.
The design of 3D LED strip-path(s) is such that it shows a number of key characteristics of the mechanical flexibility, e.g.: the maximum bend radius, flex-& bend-abilities in x-y-z-directions, seamless continuity & optical homogeneity of connected segments, to name a few, in addition to core features such as:
Extremely compact form enables integration into previously inaccessible areas of the car body.
Smart optical design and universally bendable light source can adapt to a wide variety of 3D shapes while maintaining a consistent appearance from any angle.
Segmented animation provides a simple solution for dynamic lighting scenarios.
Easy handling and assembly due to integrated thermal, mechanical, and
optical design.
For more information regarding this specific technology or application, please refer to the Lumileds team, website or topic related leaflets.
