HELLA auxiliary lamps: A decisive security advantage for your customers

There's auxiliary lamps, and then there’s auxiliary lamps. The following criteria must be considered in order to make the right choice:

1. Light output and brightness:
   The light output is crucial for visibility and safety. Depending on the intended use, the lamps should be bright enough to improve visibility at night or in poor weather conditions. The so-called reference number (Ref.) is also important in this context. It describes the maximum light intensity of a lamp.
2. Light distribution and pattern:
   The pattern of the light beam influences how effectively the road or terrain is illuminated. Wide and even light distributions are important for road use, while spotlight or floodlight patterns may be preferable for off-road vehicles.
3. Quality:
   The lamps have to withstand the rigours of on-road or off-road use. Rugged designs with dust, water and impact protection are crucial, especially for construction site or off-road vehicles that are often used in extreme conditions.
4. Energy efficiency:
   Efficient auxiliary lamps can reduce the load on the vehicle battery while delivering optimum performance. LED technology is the perfect choice for energy-efficient lighting.
5. Mounting options:
   The mounting options vary depending on the vehicle type and personal preferences. Some auxiliary lamps can be mounted at various points on the vehicle, e.g. on the bumper, on the roof rack or on the front apron.
6. ECE approval:
   If the auxiliary lamps are to be used on public roads, it is important that the corresponding ECE approvals have been obtained in order to fulfil the legal requirements.
7. Additional features:
   Additional features can improve the performance and functionality of auxiliary lamps and increase customer satisfaction.
