Osram-Continental officially launched their XLE (eXchangeable Light Engine) last week at an online seminar.
The XLE can be used for all vehicle classes thanks to an architecture that is modular, scalable architecture in terms of luminous flux, size and performance; its highly efficient thermal design allows for optimal system integration with reduced mass, bulk, and parts count.
| Model № | XLE 650 | XLE 900 | XLE 1100 |
| Number of LEDs | 1 × 2 | 1 × 3 | 1 × 3 |
| Flux at 50°C | 650 Lm | 900 Lm | 1,100 Lm |
Osram-Continental say the intent of the new product is to extend the tremendous advantages of LED headlamps to entry-level cars. They aren’t, however, saying much about the potential implications for the eLE range of the two companies’ (Osram and Continental) dissolution-in-progress of their joint venture.
