Comparison of Automotive Tail Lights
In this experiment four types of lights were testing. They were an LED fixture, a Neon Gas Chamber, an Acrylic Rod Fixture, and a Standard 12 V Fixture. Our objective was to find a tail light with the highest light intensity, lowest current, lowest voltage, lowest power, and the highest visibility. To determine these factors we used an Extech Light Meter, Volt/AMP Meter, and a human scale for visibility. After comparing the different factors we concluded that the LED was the best choice for a tail light. The LED Fixture had the highest light intensity, highest visibility, the lowest current, and the lowest power usage. However, it did require more voltage than the Neon Chamber.
