The first car to use LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes) in the design was the 1992 Cadillac Seville, which used these LED’s in the stoplights. Since then, they have slowly made their way into taillights, marker lights, and interior dome lights as well. In the past few years Automotive companies such as Honda, Mazda, Ford, and Volvo have started to design the individuality of their newer models with a greater focus on LED technology. The beautiful thing about LED’s are that they can be manufactured in any size, shape, and color, making them perfect for the customization needed to stand out in the automotive industry. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, LED’s can run from 35,000 to 50,000 hours, which is a huge step up from the current Incandescent bulbs which only run from 750 to 2,000 hours. Another amazing piece of data is that 80% of the energy given off from incandescent bulbs is heat, not light. It only makes sense to switch to LED’s wherever you can.
Alongside the passenger car industry, LED’s have taken the truck industry by storm. Truckers and trucking companies have embraced this technology to save them the time, money, and frustration of having to constantly replace burned out incandescent lights, as well as brighten their rigs up to make the roads safer for themselves and the driver’s around them. More and more of these trucks are being decked out with LED’s, and it is becoming increasingly easier to find these types of lights to replace the older technology. The trucking industry has a very strict set of guidelines of what must be on a truck, and where it must be located, just like a passenger car. Manufacturers of LED lights have taken these into careful consideration to make sure that each light they produce satisfies these requirements so that they can easily be purchased and used to replace old bulbs without any hassle.
The red LED lights, and amber LED lights that are used on trucks all over the world have such a wide variety of designs. Due to the massive demand for this newer technology, companies such as Global Parts, Inc. are selling these lights at very competitive prices, and stock massive quantities to meet the growing demand. Each type of LED truck light can be classified by the shape, size, and the amount of diodes used. Round LED lights that are only 4 inches in diameter can have as many as 50 diodes! These LED lights will last longer than most parts on a truck will without ever needing to be replaced, they will save energy on your truck, and the best part, is that the high quality materials they are made with gives them a high class look that demands attention.
