More light on the road, reduced glare, improved sealing, de-icing and a five-year warranty….All combined in the industry’s only 4 x 6 headlight that meets proposed NHTSA five star guidelines… You might know of the National Highway Traffic Safety Association’s 5-star safety ratings for crash tests. Well, now they’ve decided that it’s better to avoid a crash than to survive one… so NHTSA is proposing an overall vehicle safety rating system—and one key aspect is headlights. A five-star safety rating for headlights is tough to achieve. So tough that conventional reflector headlights won’t be capable of meeting the standard. But this is the first four by six LED headlight in the world that WILL comply: the all-new J. W. Speaker Model 8800 Evolution 2. We took the groundbreaking design of the Evolution 1 and added new optics. They create a precise beam pattern that delivers 30 percent more light down the road.
And because our solid projector optics allow us to control the light so well, there’s a lot less glare for oncoming traffic. So the driver behind the light can see better; the driver coming at the light can see better. Those are the things that help prevent crashes—and put the 8800 Evolution 2 at that highest 5-star safety level. So we designed a better headlight. One that reached a level of safety most headlights can’t touch. Then we kept going. We made it virtually leakproof—whether its hit with a pressure washer or completely underwater. And then… we heated it. Gave it the ability to melt ice and snow.
It’s an option heavy truck drivers can look forward to for safer, more continuous operation in hostile weather. It’s unique, “Intelligent” heating that reacts to temperature. Drivers will have a little—or a lot of—heat when they need it; the heater shuts off when they don’t. Safety is at the heart of this light. Its long life and durability assures continuous operation.
Even the color of our lights results in safer driving. The bright white color of the LEDs is the same as the noon sun—prompting your brain to be more alert. The yellow color of halogen headlights simulates dusk—the time when you’d begin to wind down and get ready to sleep. These aren’t “consumer-grade” headlights. the J. W. Speaker Model 8800 Evolution 2 is made for professional drivers. The ones who need to be on the road 24/7. Nighttime drivers will benefit from the 5-star safety compliance. First off, they’ll have the most amount of time to react to whatever happens in front of them. And then there’s oncoming traffic. Less of a threat because approaching drivers won’t be blinded by glare, and they’ll be more aware of what is coming at them—thanks to the stand-out bright white color of the LED’s. To keep cold-weather drivers moving, we went on to develop optional Intelligent Heating. When there’s a potential for snow and ice buildup, the heater will automatically kick in and provide a little heat or a lot of heat to keep headlights clear. So now you see what we’re talking about.
This four by six inch headlight holds enormous potential to make the roads safer—and keep drivers out of danger. Finally, the stars have aligned..
