According to the Federal Highway Administration, roughly 25% of traffic accident fatalities and 50% of injuries are attributed to accidents at intersections. Many of these accidents involve a turning vehicle.
Drivers and pedestrians often don’t notice all the hazards when driving through or crossing near intersections, including vehicles signaling their intention to turn. This leads to accidents.
Switchback LED lighting can improve the visibility of cars when turning. This article explains what these LED lights are and how they work. It also describes the different types of switchback bulbs and the benefits of installing them in a vehicle.
Switchback LED lights can change color because they have two sets of LEDs with two different colors, white and amber. There are switchback lights that blink between the two colors and those made up of rows of LEDs that change color sequentially, among others.
Presently, switchback LEDs are used as replacements for traditional turn signal bulbs which use incandescent technology. These LED lights are brighter than the incandescent ones, improving the visibility of turning signals at road junctions.
