The influence of car interior lighting on driving safety

pseven 
With the increasing number of functions, buttons and switches, car interior lighting is starting to play an increasingly important role in driving safety at night. The times when only a few traditional light bulbs were installed in the car, helping to find seat belts or illuminating the interior of the glove compartment, are long gone. The interior of a mid-range car manufactured today has up to several dozen light sources, most often LEDs. A blinding flash of light often causes not only discomfort, but also potential danger for the driver. The latest research covers the impact of vehicle interior lighting on the sense of security, the ability to concentrate, as well as the perception of space and distance. Scientists are asking whether the way the dashboard instrumentation is lit can have a greater impact on the driver`s emotional state and achievements?

This isn`t really surprising. The brighter the light inside, the more your pupils constrict and your ability to see outdoors in the dark decreases. The latest cars still have a potentiometer that can be... [Read more]

Here, it wasn`t about the light you turn on or off, but about the glow of the dashboard lighting, button illumination, and display illumination. Older cars also had sliders that could be used to adjust... [Read more]

I`ll write like this. I have blue neon lights under the seats in my car, and I drive much better when they are on. It`s all a matter of getting used to it [Read more]
