LED TECHNOLOGY THAT FASCINATES

ULO rear lights: LED technology of the highest level trough original equipment competence of the odelo Group

LED nowadays is not to be simply forgotten about and is used in almost every new vehicle model. Due to their technical composition they have especially strong performance, energy efficiency, and above all durability. However, it is seen again and again: rear lights where individual LEDs flicker or completely fail. Also, when these are promoted as quality and high value, the promises can often not be kept. Not so with the odelo Group, one of the earliest specialist for vehicle illumination with years of original equipment competence, knows what reliable LED technology is all about.

Due to their high life expectancy LED rear lights are designed so that the replacement of individual components is not intended. Therefore, as a rule of thumb: should some LEDs fail, the whole rear light should be replaced. That costs time and money. The good news is this situation could be avoided. As a chosen series producer of rear lights and signal lights, odelo exclusively uses special high-value and longlife components that extensively fulfill the high requirements for the sophisticated vehicle illumination technology. So, it can be ensured that the quality standards, in accordance with the requirements of the automotive industry, can be fulfilled for the long-term.

Decisive quality: the optimal fine-tuning of all parts

LEDs produced in premium quality are still far from premium quality LED-Vehicle lights. That’s because LED technology is much more complex than conventional bulb technology and the amount of electrical components is considerably larger. In order to develop a light so it can reliably last and function for the life span of a vehicle, all parts like LEDs, circuit boards, wires or contact points must be precisely coordinated and perfectly integrated into the whole electronics. The malfunctioning of LEDs is often cause by other parts without the LED being defective at all. Improper soldering of capacitors, resistors or transistors on the circuit boards can lead to contact between the part and circuit board not being produced neatly and therefore solder points could break during use, which means the electrical circuit is then no longer closed. Critical for reliable quality are the necessary knowledge regarding the right choice of reliable parts and the Know-How of the developer and designer for an error-free configuration of the electronics and software.

LED-Technologie, die fasziniert)

This competence bundles the odelo Group together through highly qualified engineers, own-produced electronic components and chosen certified suppliers with procured parts. Because materials, be they also so highly-valued, can be incompatible in connection to other electronic components and can cause problems while operating the vehicle. In order to eliminate these problems odelo tests and validates all products including their integration into the electronics and continuously puts them to the test.

odelo quality products without risk also in the Independent Aftermarket: LED-lights from ULO

This original equipment quality is also offered to the light producers through their own brand ULO in the independent aftermarket. ULO customers benefit from years of experience of the odelo Group: reliable products, produced with the most modern assembly procedures and the technology know-how from large series production.
