As well as new technology looking to the future, lighting specialist OSRAM was also happy to look to the past at Automechanika, demonstrating the benefits of its LEDriving HL Vintage range. This is a unique product that can offer the benefits of the renowned series of LEDriving retrofit lamps with a look and feel that is well suited to classic and vintage cars. 

Many drivers believe that their classic cars can only accommodate older lighting technology lighting, however, LEDriving HL Vintage lamps can increase brightness by up to 300%, compared to the minimum requirements of ECE R112. These retrofit lamps provide not only optimal visibility but also optimised light distribution, while exhibiting impeccable performance, even when integrated into older electrical circuits.

Featuring the latest LED technology and a compact design, the retrofit lamps guarantee high compatibility and easy installation in vehicles equipped with corresponding halogen lamp types. Drivers benefit from LED technology without concerns about elevated temperatures, harmful UV emissions, or compromising the aesthetic integrity of their classic automobiles. At the same time, these retrofit LEDs have reduced power consumption and significantly extended life spans when compared to conventional halogen lamps.

The lights have been design to produce a colour which better reflects the light which would come from the original bulb, while offering all the benefits of better LED visibility and long life. The design also means no damaging, or further aging of old headlights. 

The OSRAM LEDriving HL Vintage is available now for H1, R2/H4/H19 and H7/H18 off-road only. These lamps are now available from OSRAM stockists.
