MOTORSPORT

From the beginning the motorsport market has been quick to adopt Lazer products, with some of the biggest names in racing using the lights from an early stage. In the first year of production, the Lazer products had been nominated for three awards within the field of international motorsport, including ‘Most Innovative New Motorsport product 2012’.

 

Since then more and more teams and drivers, for whom there can be no compromise in performance or reliability, have made the transition to Lazer. The clearest example of this being our high profile partnerships with leaders in both WRC (M-Sport) and World Endurance (Toyota Motorsport) series. Success isn't just limited to the world of motorsport howevever, with Lazer lighting solutions prevelant amongst protagonists of gruelling off-road events such as the Dakar Rally or King of the Hammers, a testiment to the build quality and robustness of every product that leaves our premises.

 

Success on the track has helped give the brand credibility, which has translated through to confidence for the road buyer who chooses to fit the same products to their vehicles. Recognising the suitability of our products within the 4x4, Pick-Up, and Commercial Vehicle sectors, we are now approved suppliers to OE manufacturers across each of these sectors. Still we will not rest on our laurels and development work continues on both new lighting products as technoclogy advances and innovation dictates, but so to solutions that facilitate the integration of high performance driving lights onto all multitude of vehicles, meaning Lazer becomes known as much for its mounting solutions as its superior lighting.

With continued product development a priority, and an expanding worldwide distribution network, Lazer Lamps is very much a company with big plans for the future, so watch this space!

LED TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED

Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology offers more than double the efficiency of the previous leading light technology, High Intensity Discharge (HID). Such advanced technology can be described as one of the most exciting and fast moving to hit automotive lighting. The efficiency gains can be harnessed to reduce power consumption of the lamp, or to deliver much greater light output for a similar power consumption.

Put into numbers, LED currently achieves approximately 100 lumens/Watt when driven at high drive currents, whereas Halogen lights run at around 10 – 12 lumens/Watt, with HID (High Intensity Discharge) operating at around 50 lumens/Watt.

There is a clear distinction between lumens and lux when using as a unit of light measurement.  Lumens can be defined as the measurement of how bright a bulb or a light source is. Whether you are 1 meter away or 100 meters away from a light source it is still emitting the same amount of lumens. On the other hand, lux is the measure of the intensity of the light hitting a surface at a given distance. Our recommendation is that you review the product photometric diagram and consider the spread of light that you want. Overall, lux is a good measurement for determining and comparing the brightness of a beam.

Selecting the right LED is important, and although this starts with choosing an LED capable of achieving the high performance requirements of an automotive headlight, the next step is choosing the right “bin”. LED manufacturers categorise their batches of the same LED in to those which are tested at the end of the production line to give high light output, versus those which have a relatively low light output. There can be a variation of light output (and component price) within the same product group of up to 30% from the low output bin to the high output bin devices.

A powerful LED with a high output bin, provides a solid foundation to achieve higher levels of illumination, but there are a number of other factors driving both the performance and the cost of the unit. Consider the materials used in the product: the cooler you can keep the LEDs, the more efficient they’ll be and therefore the more light you’ll get on the road. For example, Lazer products use ceramic coated metal substrate circuit boards with high thermal conductivity and a thick copper layer to help spread the heat away from the LED and to the lamp body as quickly as possible.

The “LED Driver” is also a crucial component inside the unit, this is the device which manages the drive current through the LED, ensuring an even and stable light output regardless of input voltage. The performance of the driver also influences the efficiency of the unit, and contributes towards the performance of the product to reduce EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatability) radiation.

The capacitors used within the product also contribute towards cost of manufacture and longevity of the product, where cheaper electrolytic capacitors might run for 1000 – 2000 hours, while ceramic capacitors can have a run time of tens of thousands of hours.

ELECTRICAL & WIRING

All Lazer lamps are sold with a pre-wired female connector attached to the male connector of the lamp harness, to allow easy wiring in to your vehicle's system. To further facilitate the integration of the lights into your vehicles electrical wiring system, Lazer has developed a comprehensive range of harness kits suited to all the lighting products in our range. Unless otherwise specified, wiring kits are for use with our ECE approved ST / Triple-R / Linear lamps.

 

INSTALLATION

All ST/T/Triple-R Lazer products are shipped with a Centre Mounting Kit (1114k) as standard. The Centre Mounting Kit is a robust fixture which allows for flexibility in the mounting of Lazer lights above or below a mounting point, with freedom to angle lights up/down and left/right. All Linear products come supplied with stainless steel Side Brackets complementing the sleek, low profile design of the lights themselves.

Additional mounting options are available, including a wider range of stainless steel Side Bracket Kits (also included with larger off-road light bars), universal-fit Roof Mounting Kits to Tube Clamps, to bespoke Motorsport-inspired, quick fit & release bonnet mounting frames.
