Simplifying design, improving reliability, reducing components<\/p>\n

Automakers are increasingly adopting LEDs as a preferred solution for internal indicator lights, running lights, tail lights, and other applications in which incandescent bulbs were previously used. The reasoning behind this switch is fivefold: LEDs can lower warranty costs, they draw less average current, they do not have an initial turn-on surge current, they allow for component reduction, and offer a more reliable and longer working life. By switching to LEDs, automakers can enjoy improved efficiency, reliability, and power consumption savings.<\/p>\n

The use of LEDs also allows for important changes in electrical design. Since there is no large initial in-rush when an LED is turned on, it becomes much easier to use a reed switch to turn indicator lights on and off. With incandescent bulbs, an additional resistor was often required to reduce the in-rush current and prolong the life of the switching device. Since LEDs use less power, switching via reed switch becomes much simpler and more feasible.<\/p>\n

Standex-Meder reed switches are already present in many automotive applications, including gear shift and brake pedal position sensing, speed sensors, washer fluid, coolant, and brake fluid level sensors and a wide range of other safety feature applications. It is therefore no surprise that reed switches also offer a variety of benefits when used in automotive LED lighting applications.<\/p>\n
