For doing the test, SEAT team chose Dark Sky Alqueva reserve in Portugal. The sky there is dark enough to see the Orion. The head of Lighting and Signaling Development at SEAT, Carlos Elvira believes that the fourth generation of their designed lights have acceptable range and width. By engaging LED technology now safety and comfort are at their maximal mode.by the way, it was a great challenge for SEAT too as the lights are just narrow strips.
The SEAT engineering team spend 2,500 hours of work on the lights to get their Ideal answer from it and also 800 hours to test the new technology. Carlos Elvira says:
For us, testing in extreme climates is essential; in hot areas to test the operation of the electronics and in the cold to confirm the distribution of light on accumulations of ice
One LED diode can respond 150 milliseconds faster than an incandescent bulb. This fact can be a positive point specially at high speeds. That means at the 120 km/h speed when you’re for ahead vehicle push the brake pedal, by turning the braking light on, you can react to it five meters earlier. Also, inside the car there are some alarm lights on the top of the dashboard. Magnolia Paredes, head of Electronic Lighting Development at SEAT reveals the intention of company for such an Idea.
Light signals are combined with acoustic signals to warn, for example, that a door is not properly closed or that a vehicle is approaching from behind as you prepare to get out of the car
They light work is not finished here. The LEON has more to do with lights. They used it as a safety function as an increasable light by increasing acceleration or when traveling with children on the locked door by touching them by children is sends the red light as a signal of attempt for opening the locked door.
