More light, more safety
With this new technology a laser module for each beacon generates a cone of light with twice the range of LED headlights.
Each module includes four high-power diode laser with a diameter of only 300 micrometers, which generate a blue laser light beam with a wavelength of 450 nanometers.
A phosphor converter transforms this white light beam suitable for circular, with a color temperature of 5500 Kelvin, the ideal conditions for the human eye, allowing the driver to recognize contrasts more easily and helps prevent fatigue.
The laser light, which is activated above the 37.5 miles per hour (60 km / h), complements the LED light beam in the Audi R8 LMX, and significantly improves visibility and safety . A sensor based on images from a camera detects other road users and actively adjusts the light pattern.
