NEW Hella LED Daytime Running Lamps

31 October 07

Hella remain at the forefront of lighting technology once again with the release of new LED daytime running lamps. So what’s the big deal ...?

The benefits of LED lighting have been openly embraced by the transport industry. LED lighting replaces conventional bulbs, and deliver much greater dependability, are more durable, have a much longer life, and require significantly less power to produce light. At the end of the day LEDs make financial sense for operators.

The new daytime running lamps have the distinction of being one of the first LED products to be approved as daytime running lamps in the world.

On top of the standard benefits of LED, these lamps are multi-voltage and supplied with a well-thought out wiring loom.

Built-in relays allow ease of fitment & integration with the vehicle. For example the lamps will automatically activate when the vehicle key is turned on, and conversely deactivate when the park lights are on.

In general, daytime running lamps are the way-forward for safety conscious operators. European statistics have shown a 25% reduction of vehicle accidents through the use of these lamps. In turn, these type of statistics have seen Switzerland make their use a legal requirement.

Better, more durable, safer, more economical: Hella delivers again!

This year the event is held with the support of the National Road Carriers Assn, Radio Hauraki, Gough Power Systems, Southpac Trucks & TWL.

In 2007 the event had a fantastic turnout with over 100 cars & a staggering 154 trucks. Racing ‘Legend’ Greg Murphy was there doing hotlaps for people who bid for the rides. Truck drivers also took many of the children for laps.

This year it will be even bigger with over 300 trucks expected. Former NZ Landspeed record-holder ‘Racing’ Ray Williams will be this years ‘hotlaps’ driver & resident celebrity.

This year the beginning of the event will involve trucks meeting at the Goughs Wiri site and forming a convoy under police escort to Pukekohe Raceway.
