LED lighting expert Jussinmaki conducts an extensive annual lighting test, with the aim of helping customers buying decision making process through reviewing the Markets Leading Auxiliary LED Light Bars & Round Lamps. As we delve into the results of their 2024 test, we are proud to see Lazer leading the way in performance and quality throughout the categories.

In the competitive arena of professional motorsport, the pursuit of peak performance and reliability is a constant. Teams and drivers are always on the lookout for innovative technology that can make a difference and provide them with a competitive edge. Whether it’s night rallying or endurance track racing, high-quality lighting plays a crucial role in this, as being able to navigate faster, more safely, and with better visibility is indispensable for any team aiming for the top. From Lazers founding in 2010, our lights have distinguished themselves in this regard, offering teams the very best in LED lighting technology.

In an exciting development for one of the UK’s fastest growing companies, Lazer Lamps Ltd becomes an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) owned business. In a clear signal of confidence to the future success of the business, company founder Ben Russell-Smith remains as Managing Director of the company, but passes ownership of the company to the EOT. With employees more involved and engaged with the future success of the business, the company will continue to reach its maximum potential on the global stage, with world class products and service.

When you buy a Lazer Lamps' product, you buy a product designed and made in the UK. A product assembled from parts carefully sourced from 'local' suppliers wherever possible. Suppliers that match our high standards and expectations, while sharing a common goal to minimise our impact on the planet. At the same time, through increasing our in-house production and downstream processes, we're taking more ownership for the quality of our products and their environmental footprint.

Lighting specifications sometimes aren’t worth the paper they’re written on; the lack of third-party validation means some brands/producers claim what they want, bending the figures to suit their own narrative. Nowhere is this more true than when it comes to lumen figures. In this article, we explain raw and actual/effective lumens, the difference between both, and the concept of 'Driver's FOV Flux' which we have applied in our calculations of effective lumens now published for our core product ranges.

With such a wide range of high performance LED driving lights in our repertoire it is no surprise that the variety of vehicles they are fitted to is equally as wide. Our low-profile Linear range in particular is well-suited to being fitted to vehicles where space is a premium, such as Snowmobiles, ATVs, Quads and even Motorbikes. But we do also have customers who have successfully fitted ST Evolution, Triple-R and Utility Series lights to these and benefitted from the huge increase in illumination. Which is a big benefit away from urban areas, off road, or off-piste.

Originally developed by Bosch in the 1980s, CAN (Control Area Network) is a robust system which enables high-speed communications and signals between different systems on a vehicle without the need for complex wiring. An increasing number of manufacturers utilise CAN Bus for managing systems such as lighting, heating, instrumentation, suspension, braking and engine control with separate ECUs which can be linked with a single pair of wires, thus drastically cutting down the total amount of wiring required within a vehicle.

Fitting auxiliary lights to a rally car has been around almost since the very first cars started racing. In bad weather, low light conditions and night stages, rally drivers need better visibility of the road ahead and a clear view of the track. The first auxiliary rally car lights were simply additional headlights mounted across the front of the grille or over the bonnet. Look back to rally cars of the 70s and 80s and the traditional bonnet mounted lights became iconic, to the extent that the Lancia Stratos looks positively naked without the four extra rally lights mounted to the front edge of the bonnet. The major downside of this was that it just made the existing field of view brighter, it did not extend or widen the visibility

LED technology is moving fast, not only becoming more efficient, but more reliable as well. As a market leader and innovator, we’re constantly looking to upgrade products and launch new ones, optimising lighting performance for different applications depending on: the intensity of light, visibility at the sides of the road, and up/down spread. Considering our different products, and new and upgraded products available since this Autumn (Triple-R Gen2), take a closer look at the differences in light distribution of each.

From the very highest levels of both professional track and rally motorsport, there’s growing recognition of the superior lighting performance, design, reliability, and functionality of Lazer Lamps’ products, that brings tangible competitive advantage. With the recent launch of lightweight Glass & Carbon-fibre composite Bonnet and Corner Rally Lamp pods, we’ve furthered our appeal and relevance to the rally sector. In this piece, we’ll guide you through the options for achieving the perfect rally lighting setup.
