Over 20 years lighting the way forward
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
- The #Seat #leon has been the LIGHTing benchmark in the compact segment for more than two decades
- From halogen headlamps to LEDs, the #leon has always incorporated the latest technology in a constant updating process
- The range of its low beam has increased from 50 to 70 metres throughout its history
- The LIGHTing in the new #leon includes significant safety features
Since its creation in 1999, the #Seat #leon has always excelled in LIGHTing. Each of its four generations has been ahead of its time, incorporating the most cutting-edge technology of the moment in a process of constant updating. “The #leon has always been a benchmark, not only in #Seat, but in the compact segment as well. It has always incorporated the most efficient and powerful #LIGHT sources to guarantee the safest night-time driving” explains Magnolia Paredes, head of Electronic Development and Validation in SEAT’s Lighting Department. She has been with the company for 20 years, practically the same number of years that the #leon has been LIGHTing the way.
The pioneering LIGHT. Equipped with powerful halogen headlamps, the first generation signalled a turning point. “It was the first with a plastic outer lens, which made it possible to work without restrictions in terms of shape, experimenting with the illuminating surface. With the first #leon, the headlamps took centre stage as an essential part of the car’s design” says Magnolia. But it also incorporated the latest technology. For example, the angle of the fog LIGHTs, which were standard, could be adjusted by means of a control to achieve the greatest possible range without dazzling other drivers.
Automating LIGHT. Xenon lamps were introduced in the second generation. This technology offered greater luminosity (850 lumens compared to 500 lumens for halogen), 35% lower consumption and a longer life. “In addition, its whiter colour, with a colour temperature of 4,000 Kelvin, made it possible to reduce eye fatigue on long night-time journeys” explains Magnolia.
Between 2005 and 2012, the Technical Centre introduced innovations to the model, such as the automatic LIGHTs on function, taking the burden off the driver of the risk of forgetting to turn on the LIGHTs when entering a tunnel or car park. In addition, daytime driving LIGHTs were introduced for the first time, another major safety improvement, as well as #led rear LIGHTs.
