Are you a frequent night traveler? If yes, then you very well know about the challenges that come across while driving at night. Factors like poor lighting, low visibility and headlights from other vehicles add to the dangers of night driving.
Under low light conditions, even the best of car headlights fail to provide appropriate guidance. Would you like to see beyond your high beam lights at night? Or struggle to get a clear view through the dust and light fog behind the wheel and there's nowhere to pull off? Worry not, we have an easy way to do it; equip your car with a night vision and safeguard yourself. We bring to you several methods to achieve this. Let's take a look.
1. Add High-Intensity Discharge Lamps to your Car
One of the most basic ways to improve your night vision is to equip your car with HID lamps, which is a part of the gas-discharge arc lamps. They are known to produce light with the help of an electric arc between two electrodes and through plasma or ionized gas. HID lamps are well-known for efficiently turning electricity into light. The following reasons make these lamps a good choice for night driving assistance.
- HID lamps can be of great help for night driving, as they produce light which is cool blue, white or yellow. As compared to conventional headlights, they are capable of projecting light farther down the road, and covering more area.
- These lamps aid in improving your night driving safety by assisting you in perceiving a longer road distance and also detecting any hazard and pedestrians in low lighting.
- HID lamps have overcome many shortcomings of traditional lamps, and thus they can be rated as more useful for night driving. Adding HID lamps to the car can be advantageous for old drivers too, as it improves visibility and increases their response time to potential problems.
2. Get in-Built Night Vision System
While driving in the night, poor visibility and bad lighting can make it difficult for drivers to know the exact road conditions. This is where an in-built night vision system comes to your rescue. It makes use of low-lighting imaging, thermal imaging or near-infrared illumination to improve your perception of the road at night. Below are some of its features:
- An in-built night vision system is already in-built into the vehicle by manufacturer. It makes use of infrared sensor to detect the living objects, captures images and then displays them on the dashboard of the car.
- It extends your perception of the road beyond the reach of the headlights. In-built night vision systems can help you to see somewhere between 150-300 meters on the road.
- The down-side of such systems is that they are currently available only in a handful of luxury vehicles like Mercedes Benz S Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A6, etc. which cannot be afforded by all.
