Osram Opto Semiconductors used its advanced illumination technology on the 'Mighty F-350 Tonka' concept vehicle, one of the featured vehicles at the 2002 Chicago Auto Show in February. The Mighty F-350 Tonka is the first Ford truck to be fully equipped with Osram OS high-flux Power TOPLED products throughout the vehicle's interior and exterior: low beam headlamps, fog lamps, running board lamps, signal lamps including the rear combination lamps (RCL), center high mount stop lamps (CHMSL) and back-up lamps.
Developed in 1998, Power TOPLED is exceptionally compact, and the first high-brightness surface mountable LED to be applied to automotive exterior lighting. LED technology provides multiple advantages over incandescent lighting, ranging from reduced power, improved reliability, more compact packaging and more flexible optical designs. LEDs are more efficient than incandescent lighting, reducing power consumption by 50%.
