Stanley Electric have developed a granular surface-emitting rear lamp they say improves visibility and boosts safety for following vehicles.
This lamp simplifies the conventional design, replacing dozens of LEDs with a single high-lumen, replaceable LED module. Light diffuses evenly through a custom-designed light guide, and presents with a granular sparkle effect for greater visibility. As a sustainable product, it also reduces the number of components, helping to lower costs and minimize environmental impact.
To enhance safety, they have developed a rear lamp they say makes it easier for nearby drivers and pedestrians to detect the movements of motorcycles, helping to reduce the risk of collisions.
The lamp uses dual-layer structure with precision optical cuts on both sides of the inner lenses. When illuminated, it creates a sparkling granular glow. As the viewer moves, the shimmering light points shift slightly, as seen in this video, making the lamp more noticeable.
In Stanley tests, motorcycles equipped with this lamp were detected approximately 2 seconds earlierby drivers of following vehicles, compared to conventional surface-emitting rear lamps. This earlier detection could allow for smoother deceleration, reducing the need for sudden braking and lowering the risk of rear-end collisions.
Conventional wide rear lamps required numerous LEDs to ensure even lighting. In contrast, this lamp uses a high-lumen LED module paired with a light guide rod, transmitting light efficiently across the lamp. Special optical cuts on the back of the rod enable both uniform light distribution and high brightness all the way to the edges.
Compared to previous Stanley models, which achieved uniform illumination up to 10 mm in height, the newly developed lamp achieves consistent light diffusion up to 30 mm in height. This advancement allows for flexible application across a wider range of lamp designs and sizes, from slim motorcycle lamps to larger automobile rear lamps.
