Bright idea for 2 in 1 Daytime Running Lamps

Research figures from the EU suggest that motorists could help prevent around 2,000 road deaths each year with the use of Daytime Running Lamps. Studies have shown, that not seeing other road users plays a role in 50% of daytime accidents.

Dedicated Daytime Running Lights are special lamps which are automatically switched on when the engine is started.  From January 2011 all new passenger and light commercial vehicles will have to have Daytime Running Lamps fitted.

Motorists don’t have to wait till next year, they can get the modern look now with Ring Automotive’s range of Daytime Running Lamps.

New to the range is the dual function Lyra LED Day and Night Lamp. The Lyra lamp is E marked to reg 87 which is specific to daytime running lamps, so it will illuminate when the engine is started.

When used as a daytime running lamp, the Lyra will greatly contrast the vehicle from its surroundings making it more visible to other road users including cyclists and pedestrians, helping reduce accidents.

However, when it gets dark and the main vehicle lights are turned on, the Lyra lamp will switch its light output to an E marked reg 7 night time styling lamp providing 24 hours operation.

The slim compact design enables the lamps to be fitted discreetly to most cars. With a fitting kit and simple to follow instruction the lamps can generally be fitted within an hour depending on the vehicle.

Each lamp unit contains 18 ice white LEDs for maximum light output from minimal energy consumption.

The Lyra lamps offer additional safety when driving combined with a contemporary style when driving at any hour of the day.

The Lyra has a suggested retail price of £59.99
