I've always believed that nothing can be overdone, almost enough.
Take the change of lights, many people have shown me how bright their headlights are, and when they turn on the lights at night, every street is lit, and they have only one criterion for judging the quality of the vehicle lights: be sure to ask the opposite side of the flash to open their eyes.
I wonder, why should this be?
In addition to some models that are really particularly low in price and excessively compressed costs on headlights, most of the family cars with a price of more than 80,000 are currently available, and the brightness of the headlights can meet the needs of night travel.
Lenses and LED light groups have almost become the standard for ordinary family cars.
Even so, the first thing some people buy is to change the headlights, change it brighter, the light position is higher, and the cost of changing the headlights is often thousands.
It is true that brighter headlights work better at night, one is to shine farther, the other is to shine brighter.
But everyone is only a participant in road safety, you will definitely have someone driving over on the other side, safety is always relative, take care of their own lighting right of way, but rob away the opposite line of sight, will inevitably reduce their own safety factor.
Because you don't know if the owner on the other side can still see the road clearly, whether he will come directly at you. It is most important to leave a certain vision for the other party.
Many people require a color temperature of 6000k or even higher in order to pursue a brighter color temperature.
6000k can already make the opposite side dazzling, it is true that the visual stimulation is stronger, but the same reflection effect is very poor, the weather is good at night, but if it rains, snows, haze at night, the lighting effect is very poor.
Therefore, many models of fog lights are yellow lights, on the one hand, the cost of yellow lights is indeed low, but from the positioning of fog lights, yellow lights should be used, so that there can be strong penetration in the environment with low visibility.
If even fog lights are used as white high-brightness lights, then the role of fog lights is greatly reduced.
The lighting system should be designed according to the situation, the new car has been divided into functional areas, for example, there are always bright daytime running lights, which can remind the opposite car during the day, the near and far lights have lenses, and the focus of the light is high at the same time, and it does not need too high power to be used.
In addition, fog lights are mostly yellow lights, which are guaranteed to be used in bad weather, and strong penetration can make up for the problem of weak reflection of near and far lights.
Some companies will indeed pursue the effect of lighting, but most of the company's own design is also measured, will not design too bright lights, mainly taking into account the driving needs of the other party to the car, if too bright will inevitably affect the opposite vision, and then affect their own driving safety.
Experienced, safety-conscious old drivers often choose headlights with reasonable brightness to ensure spotlight and a certain brightness, while retaining yellow fog lights, and paying attention to the use of far and near lights when driving.
In the absence of street lights, use high beams to illuminate the farthest road to leave a sufficient distance for emergency avoidance, and choose low beams to protect each other when there is a pair of oncoming vehicles.
Taking a step back, if the opposite side is also a very bright high beam, its own driving safety factor will also be reduced.
