![]() Last thing I want is a rule similar to sun film ban- we need a rule that governs the desired outcome, not the means.Īnd, we're not even talking about aftermarket fitments. To summarise, before it gets out of hand, government agencies need to publish rules governing the lights, matching with best use of latest technologies. Even the LEDs on Vento appears to be harmless. The least disturbing one I've seen is the one on Endeavour. Mercedes Benz, in general, seem to have "cool white" light compared to BMW lights. It is definitely a higher colour temperature, normally referred as cool while, may be 6000K and it is HID, I guess. The most disturbing headlight, by far is the one on Suzuki Baleno, and to a lesser extent Ciaz. It is purely because of the reason # 1 above- more light per watt.Īmongst the vehicles with LED/HID on Indian roads, some are more disturbing than others. Then the question is why LEDs seem to light the road ahead. I tend to think there could be rules that are getting violated. This needs to be regulated by government, if not done already. Anything above, due to dispersion, creates blinding effect to onlookers and is a hazard. This is the reason to have 3500K-4000K colour temperature (yellowish) for headlights. High wavelength light disperse less, hence gives more visibility to driver.Government should refine/update the rules to limit the light emitted, than limit the wattage. So, a 60W LED would be way more brighter than a regular halogen. LEDs, by default produce more light per watt.Does "cool white" really helping even the one who is driving the car?. ![]() Is there a regulation on colour temperature allowed? If so, don't think it is being followed by manufacturers.Doing some google made me realise that across the globe people are complaining about the same. I do know LEDs and HID are different, however, they both, in general seem to emit bluish light. I tried attributing the same to my dwindling eyesight, however, based on conversation with folks, this seem to be a real issue. I am absolutely blinded with LED/HID headlights in certain cars. The reason for the thread is my own experience in night driving.
