LED Safety DayLights™ are designed as forward facing signal lamps to enhance the visibility of a vehicle during daylight hours.

In 2008*, 366 people lost their lives on New Zealand roads and another 15,849 people were injured. The social cost to New Zealand of these tragic accidents is calculated at NZ$3.8 Billion and this figure does not include the damage to vehicles and property.

*(2009 figures stand at 384 fatalities)

Using data from studies carried out overseas the fitment of dedicated LED Safety DayLights™ would save New Zealanders from the trauma of between 3% and 11% of road fatalities and between 4% and 15% of injuries sustained by road users. These estimates exclude pedestrians who are equally at danger when accidently overlooking an oncoming vehicle.

(Figures based on a review of Daytime Running Lights, RACU, NRMA 2003)

Dedicated LED Safety DayLights™ are signal lamps specifically designed for daytime use and are some 300% brighter in the direction of the oncoming vehicle than dipped beam headlamps.

Over 25% of all fatal road crashes in New Zealand are head-on crashes.
Many of these involve multiple deaths.
