Optronics International has redesigned its Fusion LED combination stop, tail, turn and backup lamp, making it 25% smaller and including new, optimized, circuitry that hosts both red and white LEDs on a single board, and a patent-pending optical design.
The Fusion lamps now employ a more advanced circuit board configuration and LED light projection technology that has a patent pending. An optical bridge helps project red LED light from the red area of the lens to the clear area of the lens during the braking function. The design enables the lamps to use fewer diodes, reduces heat load and lowers the overall lamp cost.
The new Fusion LED combination stop, tail, turn and backup lamps are expected to be available in the second quarter of 2016. The lamps meet all FMVSS 108 photometric requirements for visibility and safety. Lenses and housings are made of tough polycarbonate material that is sonically welded. The lamps employ a solid-state, surface-mount device (SMD) design that protects their electronics against moisture, shock and vibration. All Fusion lamps come with a one-diode lifetime warranty protection that will replace the lamp if even one diode fails.
