Based on recent development of white LEDs, it becomes feasible to design automotive headlamps using LED light sources. While these LEDs are reaching high lumen output, the uniqueness of headlamp applications has not yet been sufficiently addressed. This paper discusses the optical features of an automotive headlamp, its optical design principles, light intensity distribution and concentration requirements, and safety and customer pleasing needs. Comparing LEDs to traditional tungsten halogen bulb filament, LED light sources for headlamp applications are being analyzed. The paper identifies that etendue concerns for automotive headlamps when using white LED light sources. It provides a guideline for considerations of LED development when implementing into automotive headlamp applications.
