Daytime running lights STU 1810 mini

Product detailed description

Daytime running lights STU 1810 mini
Miniature LED approved daytime running lights. The lights are characterised above all by their very small dimensions, which makes it easy to fit them into various prepared holes in the front of cars. Dimensions W 100 x H 25 x D 35 mm. The lights are equipped with electronics that ensure automatic switching on when the ignition is switched on and switching off when the vehicle's dipped beams are switched on. Approved according to ECE/UN No 48 under number E11 - 005619

Technical data:

- power consumption 2 x 5 W
- supply voltage 12/24 V
- 18 high-brightness Piranha LEDs in each light
- durability for the lifetime of the vehicle
- robust waterproof design
- very spectacular white light with 6000K temperature (like xenon)
- the lights have a built-in automatic light module

Use of daytime running lights:

In connection with the new legislative conditions regulating the operation of motor vehicles and mandating all-day lighting, replacement lighting for vehicles designed exclusively for daytime lighting in low visibility is very topical. The design and positioning of daytime running lights is determined by ECE/OSN Type Approval Regulation No 48, which is prescribed by Decree No 341/2002 Coll. and their use is governed by Act No 361/2000 Coll. on Road Traffic, as amended by Act No 411/2005 Coll. Daytime running lights are characterised by a strongly diffused light flux which does not form a cone as in the case of conventional headlamps. The diffuse nature of the light does not dazzle oncoming drivers or illuminate the roadway, but sufficiently ensures the essential condition for safe traffic 'to be seen'. The main benefit of these additional lights is energy saving, as they do not illuminate the vehicle's marker, dipped-beam or tail lights. Savings will also be made by extending the life of the bulbs or lamps, which will be felt especially by drivers of vehicles with xenon headlamps, whose lamps have a longer life than conventional bulbs, but are significantly more expensive to replace. The fitting of daytime running lamps is not a conversion of the vehicle or a change in the technical data and therefore their fitting to the vehicle is not subject to any additional approval or registration.

Basic rules for retrofitting daytime running lights:

- two pieces (one pair) of lights per vehicle
- they shall be placed horizontally between 250 mm and 1500 mm high on the front of the vehicle
- the distance of the lamps from the side contour is max. 400 mm and the distance between the lamps is min. 600 mm (for vehicles with a width of less than 1300 mm, a 400 mm distance between the lamps is permitted)
- the lights must come on automatically when the ignition is switched on (engine started) and go out when the ignition is switched off
- the daytime running lights must go off automatically when the position lights are switched on
