New approaches for automotive interior lighting

摘要

If you are fortunate enough to own or to have test-driven some of today's European luxury automobiles, you may have noticed what is now called "comfort lighting" in the vehicle. A departure from what used to just be called interior lighting, it involves illuminating the "people space" with mood-setting colors and intensity from different in-vehicle locations, such as from footwells or consoles. Comfort lighting can be beautiful and provide a soothing ambiance for vehicle occupants. It may be in addition to conventional interior lighting, or completely replace the "dome light" approach.
