Lighting Technology

Advanced lighting technologies, such as Xenon or High Intensity Discharge lights, often are incorrectly related to the issue of "glare."

News coverage often inaccurately reports the source for increased glare and, as a result, there is confusion about the benefits of new lighting technologies. In fact, today’s advanced lighting technologies offer significant improvements in performance such as increased night drive visibility and improved roadway safety.
