Market Launch of FlatLight Technology as Daytime Running Light
The international automotive supplier FORVIA HELLA is taking efficiency, design freedom, and cost optimization in automotive lighting technology to a new level with the first market launch of FlatLight technology as a daytime running light. The innovative light guide concept of the FlatLight | µMX technology is based on so-called micro-optics: these are optical lenses smaller than a grain of salt. These optics, which are only a few micrometers in size, enable completely new, distinctive, and at the same time highly efficient light signatures. As a result, the required installation space is reduced by around 80 percent due to the low module depth and multifunctionality: while conventional daytime running lights require a depth of around 40 mm, the FlatLight technology manages with just five millimeters. In addition, FlatLight is about 40 percent more energy-efficient and 80 percent lighter than comparable systems on the market. 2025-10-08 Market Launch of FlatLight Technology as Daytime Running Light | FORVIA HELLA
