Hella has been known as one of the leaders in providing durable and reliable headlamps for vehicles today. And on that note, Hella has announced that they will be providing Mercedes Benz the first continuously adjustable head lamps.
Car buyers can catch a glimpse of these new headlamps as it comes out with the new 2010 Mercedes E-Class models. The new system adjusts a vehicle’s headlamps to traffic conditions and provides drivers with the best possible road illumination without blinding oncoming vehicles.
The “intelligent high-beam assistant” automatically switches to high-beam when the road ahead is clear. As soon as vehicles are detected within 2,600 feet, the equipment adjusts the range of the headlamps within milliseconds. High- to low-beam adjustments are activated once the driver reaches 35 miles per hour.
The usual range of the low-beam is 213 feet, however, the new system can provide the driver with light up to the high-beam level, increasing the range of the headlamps to 984 feet, or the length of two- and three-quarters football fields. In the new E-Class, Mercedes offers the new lighting system in an option group that includes Bi-Xenon headlamps, the Intelligent Light System and LED daytime running lights.
