Sep. 11, 2018

Every time when I was behind someone else's car, I was swayed by CHEVROLET Tail Lamp, only the infinite hatred of the car. Through observation, I found that all the taillights of the car are red. As long as there is a traffic jam, look at the past from the back, and the color is red, just the difference between bright and not bright.

Why are the car taillights all red?

In the normal field of view, red is the farthest wave in the spectrum. It can be seen from a long distance, and the penetrating power is very strong. It can be clearly seen in foggy and rainy days. The red width and brake lights use red. The characteristics of the wavelength of light used to inform other vehicles of your current location.

Also, because red is a warning color, from a psychological point of view, there will be a feeling of sudden jump out, and an alert is given to the mind.

At the same time, the international use of red as a warning.

In fact, the taillights we often say are a broad statement.

The taillights of the car include: turn signals, brake lights, position lights, rear fog lights, reversing lights, and parking lights. Among them, some models combine brake lights and position lights, and the bulbs are double-wired. The rear fog lights and the reversing lights are distributed like this: left fog lights, right reversing lights, that is, single fog light single reversing lights. The turn signal and brake light are symmetrical, one on each side.

The lampshade consists of red, yellow and white. The parking light, brake light and position light red light cover emit red light, the fog light white light cover emits yellow light, and the reverse light yellow light cover emits yellow light.

If the outer casing of the brake light is red, a white LED light can be used, which will be brighter.
