Sylvania LED for Car Tail Light

Sylvania Special LED Design

Standard tail light system with red and amber lenses.

1.Creates new styling opportunities for lit and unlit condition, including high-tech, clear lens, no color, no lamp inside appearance
2. Different optical solutions possible via different reflector designs
3. Dual Intensity operation: Brake / turn functions plus running light

4. Faster rise time - approximately 140 times faster than incandescent sources: creates an additional 24 feet of stopping distance at 65 mph
5. Draws only 15% of the energy required to power an incandescent bulb: 4.3W compared to 27W
