Frequently Asked Questions

What automotive certifications are required?

Automotive LED applications require AEC-Q101 qualification for LEDs. The complete lighting system must meet EMC standards (CISPR 25), environmental testing (IP rating), and OEM-specific requirements. Lite-On AEC-Q101 qualified LEDs meet these requirements.

Verify AEC-Q101 certification for all LED components. Plan for EMC testing and environmental validation.

How is thermal management handled?

Thermal management uses metal-core PCBs, thermal interface materials, and adequate heat sinking. Junction temperature must be kept below 125°C for long lifetime. The solution includes thermal simulation and design guidelines.

Follow thermal design guidelines. use thermal simulation for verification. contact FAE for design review.

What is the typical development timeline?

Development timeline includes: Concept and specification (2-4 weeks), Design and simulation (4-6 weeks), Prototype build and test (4-6 weeks), Validation and qualification (8-12 weeks). Total timeline is 18-28 weeks for production release.

Plan 6-9 months for complete automotive lighting development. Start with evaluation kits for faster prototyping.

Can the solution be customized for specific vehicles?

Yes, the solution can be customized for specific vehicle requirements including: Color temperature adjustment, Beam pattern optimization, Form factor adaptation, Control interface customization. Custom development requires NRE and minimum volume commitments.

Use standard solution as baseline. define customization requirements early. contact sales for NRE and MOQ discussion.

What support does BeiLuo provide for automotive projects?

BeiLuo provides comprehensive automotive support: (1) Application engineering for design optimization, (2) Thermal and optical simulation, (3) Failure analysis and root cause investigation, (4) PPAP documentation support, (5) Production part approval and quality support.

Engage BeiLuo FAE early in automotive projects. Leverage full support for qualification and production.

What is the pricing structure for volume production?

Pricing is volume-dependent with tiers at 1K, 5K, 10K, 50K, and 100K+ quantities. LED components is 60-70% of BOM cost. Volume pricing can achieve 30-40% reduction from sample pricing. Contact sales for specific quotation.

Plan for volume pricing at production volumes. Consider annual scheduling agreements for best pricing.
