LED bar use in traffic should be avoided
After the xenon lights, LED lights have revolutionized the functionality in the field of car lighting. The advanced technology once applied only to luxury cars because of its high costs has now been used on the roads, making many divers feel confused and unsafe. It is called LED bars.
Current situation of LED bar use
A taxi driver for more than 10 years, Do Van Hung is no stranger to the scene of truck drivers and long-distance passenger cars racing to install LED bars on their vehicles. For him to stay safe each time coming across these cars, the best way is to slow down and stay close to his own part of the road, otherwise may easily face temporary blindness.
Due to low price and simple installation, many drivers consider LED bars to improve lighting. Others see it as decoration or even retaliation when they are illuminated by another vehicle

Car owners tempting to install sets of LED bars or LED beams is becoming a problem, said engineer Le Van Tach, a former Toyota technician. Using these lights excessively in traffic is an act of lacking knowledge, especially when it causes danger to the opposite vehicles.
“When designing, all car manufacturers have calculated their specifications very carefully. Any interference will affect the whole system,” Tach said. “That is not to mention that if the installer is not skilled, there is a potential risk of fire at the joints or overloading the electrical system on the vehicle.
LED bar lights not for traffic
Unlike car headlights that focus on the road surface, LED bar lights are designed for illuminating on a large area, said engineer Vu Van Trung, who owns Trung Vu Auto shop in Hanoi’s Ha Dong district.
“These lights are commonly used on off-road vehicles and are only used on off-road routes,” he said.
The lights are suitable for driving at night in areas like in the forest, across swamps or stream beds, where there are no paths and the headlights are not enough to light up the entire space around, he said. In such case, LED bars with bright light will help drivers find the safest and most optimal way to get through

LED bar lights are also useful for lighting up the space for camping in open vast areas. With low power consumption, strong light and wide light diffusion, they help provide enough light for activities. With the same concept, they are also used for sports fields or discos.
However, given the strong intensity and wide diffusing ability, LED bars used in traffic are extremely dangerous. The light of the LED bar is not oriented and does not illuminate the road, so cars using this lighting while in the city or highway for the reason of lighting are just excuses, Trung said.
