Drivers who are looking for improved visibility now have a choice of powerful, road-legal LED auxiliary driving lights from Philips. 


These lights combine superior length and width of illumination with rugged design. Precision engineered by leading automotive lighting supplier Lumileds, the Philips Ultinon Drive 7000 and 5100 series of auxiliary driving lights provide enhanced brightness for cars and trucks, both on and off-road. 

On the road, the Philips Ultinon Drive UD7050L projects a stylish white beam of intense LED light 480 metres ahead of the vehicle, which enables drivers to spot hazards sooner and react faster. With its ECE R149 homologation, this high-performance light bar is 100% road-legal in the European Union. Reduced glare helps keep other road-users safe too. An off-road boost feature increases output from 4000 to 5300 lumens and delivers a beam length which is extended to 520 metres and which illuminates the terrain ahead in sharp detail. A de-icing features also dispatches any build-up of snow and ice that could potentially impair the beam pattern and reduce visibility. 

The Philips Ultinon 5100 series harnesses brilliant LED light in light bars and round lights that deliver long-range visibility together with the flexibility of a position-light function. The light bars’ beam length of up to 500 meters from 4000 lumens of light output ensures a clear view of the road for greater confidence and precision behind the wheel. For even greater intensity over shorter distances, the 5001R round light produces 8000 lumens. When used as a position light, the Philips Ultinon Drive 5100 series gives drivers the choice between intense amber and cool white, to express their personal style. ECE R148 and R149 approval means these powerful Philips LED driving lights are authorised for public roads across the EU. 

The entire Philips Ultinon Drive range is tough, offering IK07 impact resistance, a sturdy one-piece body, and an unbreakable polycarbonate lens.  every light in the 7000 and 5100 series is IP68 and 69K-rated for protection from dust and water ingress. Even high-pressure power washers used for cleaning cars and trucks won’t damage the lights. They also benefit from stainless-steel mounting brackets that can withstand ice, snow, and salt. However, although they are tough enough for overland adventures or urban jungles, the Philips Ultinon Drive lights are gentle on the eyes. 

Philips Ultinon Drive 7000 and 5100 series of LED driving lights are available from stockists nationwide.
