BMW Laser Light Headlights

By definition, laser lighting is radically different from sunlight, and also from the various types of artificial lighting in common use today. For a start, laser lighting is monochromatic, which means that the light waves all have the same length. And it is also what is known as a “coherent” light source, which means that its waves have a constant phase difference. As a result, laser lighting can produce a near-parallel beam with an intensity a thousand times greater than that of conventional LEDs. In vehicle headlights, these characteristics can be used to implement entirely new functions. Also, the high inherent efficiency of laser lighting means that laser headlights have less than half the energy consumption of LED headlights. Simply put, laser headlights save fuel.

The intensity of laser light poses no possible risks to humans, animals or wildlife when used in car lighting. Amongst other things, this is because the light is not emitted directly, but is first converted into a form that is suitable for use in road traffic. The resulting light is very bright and white. It is also very pleasant to the eye and has a very low energy consumption.

What people do not realise, is that high beam of BMW laser lights turns on most of the time in unlit motorway driving, even if there were cars in front and coming opposite.
Amazing beam beautifully lights up over quarter of a mile ahead of you cleverly missing only areas where there are other cars, thus avoiding blinding any of them.
This happens even if there are perhaps 8-10 other cars coming and going in field of lighting.
If too many cars in the field, it turns off and changes to an excellent dipped light.

Me: hi I need my lights changed.
Service assistant : sure. Oh you have the laser light. So that will be $7000.

BMW and technology do belong together this brand is just insane.👌👌👌👌👍👍 Best German brand ever.

Ah yes, let's give drivers permanent eye damage.

Laser light or adaptive light? Are they same?

For us American drivers, just wanted to tell you to not get your hopes up...
This video didnt mention that current US regulations have made laser headlights ILLEGAL in all 50 states.
So if you're not satisfied here in the states with simply blinding other motorists temporarily with your outrageous and unnecessary LED headlamps, youll have to move over to the UK if you feel like permanently blinding motorists with some laser beam headlights at the moment.

Is this fully functional in the US? I know the US are much stricter with their Matrix headlights functions.

I wanted to say "oh man that's gonna cost a lots of money" but then I realized those who drive BMWs, they are not like me, well I need to check my wallet 8 times before replace something on my car. That's why I don't drive bmw

It’s good for the driver but bad for oncoming cars as the distance lights get dipped, oncoming drivers are partially blind by that time.

[DutchManticore]

One light unit costs €3800 to replace. I damaged one unfortunately, and that was excluding labor

[ack]

Yeah they are more energy efficient, but they are a bit too bright, too piercing.

[coomr]

These lights turn off to oncoming cars when it's too late.

All this super powerful lights are a problem if IS too much It Causes the same amount of accidents as deficient lights.

[kinjat]

compared to merc they ain’t bright enough, dunno why but for some reason it just doesnt provide that level of brightness, tried in 840i, M550D and 540i same behavior, E63 out performed all

[nino_kO]

Just remember Audi made a patent for laser, matrix lights, everyone else just copied from them

[warden]

WTF. Now we are gonna be even more blinded?

[THEFINALHAZARD]

Oh that’s a dumb idea. For other drivers cause aren’t you supposed to NOT look into a laser?!?

[talkandplay]

£1500 option! But BMW throw in HBA too..how nice..charging £1500 for HBA when every other manufacturer has HBA as standard..BMW have no shame.

[go]

Completely unnecessary- LED is plenty bright

[jmik]

Last independent video I saw testing with a light meter showed the laser light was no better than LED lighting. Just saying. The matrix LED set up looks
