“PerkinElmer’s ACULED is a distinctive product that combines the power, color and size qualities we needed to create the concept car’s distinctive signature circuit-board design,” said Carlo Quiñónez, lighting designer for Visopia. “The ACULED’s precise white-point selection and an infinite palette of color lighting have enabled us to create the perfect balance of ambience and functional lighting.”
Ronny Bagdadi, another partner at Visopia added that the ACULED’s compact size contributes to greater design freedom, allowing for integration of lighting functions into the overall front-end design. "We believe that the innovative features and performance benefits of the ACULED will ultimately differentiate Scion’s new FUSE model from other vehicles," said Bagdadi.

Saab Aero X
The Saab Aero X concept car, unveiled earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show, uses LED lighting throughout the vehicle, with the front headlamps integrated in the radiator grill to enhance the aircraft look.
Only two high-power Ostar LEDs were used for the high-beam, with a further device required for the dipped-beam function. The 13.5 x 33 mm Ostar LEDs, in this case containing 5 chips, provide 350 lm at 700 mA. The small size of the devices gives enormous design freedom and the LEDs can be recessed in surfaces and integrated into design elements.
Osram Golden Dragon LEDs in red and yellow provided the indicator and tail lights.
