this is made possible by the reflectors Volkswagen has developed

YAHAM lighting applications and market specialists have a proven track record of working with companies around the globe to help develop industry firsts such as the world’s first LED backlit television, the first ever functional LED camera phone flash and the first complete LED vehicle headlamps. Now, with the broadest portfolio of LEDs for illumination applications, YAHAM lighting is supporting innovative illumination solutions that save energy, save money, are long lasting, and often provide never before possible lighting for people to enjoy.

YAHAM's LED technology contributes to the energy efficiency of Volkswagen’s L1 concept car presented at the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA). The vehicle, which according to Volkswagen can go into production in 2013, has headlights that are equipped with new OSRAM Joule JFL2 LED systems and matching reflectors. The LED modules take care of the dipped and main beam functions and consume far less energy than conventional headlamps. Joule JFL2 LED modules will be introduced in production in early 2010 and can then be included in new vehicle models easily and across multiple platforms.

One key to the unparalleled energy-efficiency of Volkswagen’s L1 are YAHAM’s highly efficient Joule JFL2 LED modules, which are used in the front headlights. What is special about them is that the dimmable LED light sources are responsible for the important dipped and main beam functions. Each of the only five centimetre high headlights requires a total of three modules. Two provide the ECEcompliant (Economic Commission for Europe) main light and one the high beam. Apart from the high performance diodes, this is made possible by the reflectors Volkswagen has developed, which shed an ideal light on the road and are therefore the perfect complement to the JFL2 LED modules.
