LoginCarmakers are running with lighting as a key factor for the future car interior. Today we
have different functional lamps for reading and bright illumination of the car interior, supplemented by displays and ambient lighting of the floor, cabin
space, interior components, and on surfaces of textiles and smart decor trims.
Interior lighting has a high perception, acceptance, and demand by customers in all car segments. It will become more and more complex and multifunctional with an increasing number of new light elements and functions in night and day design, driven by affordable and package-minimized LED technology, consumer interest and trends, and the perception of the car interior as living space. The future interior lighting follows the megatrends of increasing connectivity and digitalization for infotainment and enhanced interaction with the environment, individualization and personal lighting solution.
