Audi
Matrix LED technology splits up the LED high-beam headlights into
numerous individual, small diodes working in conjunction with lenses or
reflectors connected in series. Managed by a responsive control unit,
they are activated and deactivated or dimmed individually according to
the situation. This means they always supply high-precision illumination
and achieve the maximum possible light yield without needing a pivoting
mechanism.
In the new Audi A8, each headlight comprises 25 high-beam
light-emitting diodes, arranged in groups of five per reflector. When
the light switch is set to "automatic" and the high-beam headlights are
on, the system is activated from 30 km/h (18.64 mph) on highways and
from 60 km/h (37.28 mph) on city streets. The Audi Matrix LED headlights
produce a quality of light with a special crystalline sheen. By day,
too, they have a very attractive and distinctive look, which is
reinforced by the new appearance of the daytime running lights.
