Tips from OSRAM Automotive for safe driving in fog​

Adjust your speed, drive defensively and keep your distance. Whenever visibility is poor you need to react quickly to unexpected situations, so it’s important to reduce your speed, drive defensively and keep sufficient distance from the vehicle in front. As a rule of thumb, if visibility is 50 meters or less, then the minimum distance to the vehicle in front should correspond to your speed in kilometers per hour – in other words, 50 km/h for 50 meters, 40 km/h for 40 meters, and so on.

Using fog lights: Fog lights are extremely useful in thick fog or snow because they illuminate the road better and improve visibility. However, they must not dazzle other road users, so they should only be used when visibility is poor due to weather conditions, otherwise you may be fined. And as soon as visibility is less than 50 meters the speed limit drops to 50 kilometers an hour or less. Only then should you also switch on your rear fog lights.

LEDsBIKE® RACE: LED technology from ams OSRAM now also for bicycles​

Mobility is the main reason why more and more people are choosing to go on camping holidays. It’s hardly surprising then that motorhomes are more likely than not to have bikes attached to the back. With the new LEDsBIKE® RACE sets, comprising front and rear lights, holidaymakers can find their way safely back from the nearest town to their parking lot at night. The sets are available in three versions, with the most powerful model delivering up to 100 lux for shining light as far as 100 meters ahead. The lights are approved in accordance with German traffic regulations and can be easily mounted on any type of bicycle thanks to the rubber strap and flexible 360° bracket. No tools are needed. The lights have an exceptionally long battery life of up to 14 hours.

Light means safety: the new LEDguardian® ROAD FLARE Signal V16 IoT​

Vehicles can break down at the most inopportune times, and holiday trips are no exception. If your vehicle breaks down, the first thing you should do is to make sure it can be seen, for your own safety and the safety of other road users – especially at night. OSRAM Automotive has developed the LEDguardian® ROAD FLARE Signal V16 IoT precisely for this purpose. The 360 degree flashing orange hazard warning light can be seen from far away, even in daylight. Its ten long-life high-power LEDs draw attention to the vehicle and breakdown vehicle and alert other road users to the hazard. The light is waterproof, dustproof and shockproof and is equipped with a magnet for attaching to the vehicle. This helpful security device is of particular interest to holidaymakers in Spain. Not only is it approved for use on the roads there, it is also connected to the Spanish DGT 3.0 system, a government platform that connects road users in real time. The device signals the position of the vehicle without the driver having to leave the vehicle.

You have stowed all your equipment, taken down the awning and are ready to go, but your motorhome refuses to start. OSRAM Automotive has the answer: the OSRAM BATTERYstart 400. This quick-charge lithium starter can be used to start 12V vehicles with up to 8-liter petrol engines or up to 4-liter diesel engines.
