Lighting redefined: where technology meets vision

Today’s automotive lighting is no longer just illumination—it’s an intelligent ecosystem. By integrating cutting-edge optics, adaptive electronics, and smart sensors, FORVIA HELLA transforms light into a dynamic language.

Optical systems

FORVIA HELLA’s optical systems integrate micro-optics and advanced light-guide technologies to achieve ultra-slim designs, energy efficiency, and superior light homogeneity.

Electronics hardware

High-performance LED and thermal management ensure the reliable operation of lighting systems. Innovations like the SSL | HD use micro-LED clusters (up to 25,000 pixels) for precision light control, enabling functions like glare-free high beams and road-sign highlighting.

Electronics software

Smart algorithms enable adaptive lighting and seamless integration with vehicle networks. Software optimize light distribution in real time, adjusting for road conditions, traffic, and driver inputs while enabling customizable animations.

Sensors & interactions

LiDAR, cameras, and radar are fused with lighting to enhance safety and autonomy. Inside the vehicle, the transparent Light Tile Technology displays the outside environment, while exterior signals project dynamic signs like pedestrian warnings onto the road. And our sensor-protective radomes ensure signal clarity without compromising design.
