Power consumption efficiency on LED headlamp of motorcycle

Abstract

The use of LEDs as light sources has replaced many conventional lamps. One of the industries that utilize LED is automotive industry. LEDs are claimed to be more efficient and durable. On vehicles with LED as light sources are used for increasing the level of lighting and expand the radiation pattern. For efficiency, the radiation pattern of LED can be controlled based on the direction of the vehicle. In this research, LED lights are controlled based on vehicle direction. The main purpose of this research is the reduction of power consumption to support green technology application. The sensor on steer of the vehicle is used triggering to the main controller unit to make decisions in adjusting the LED intensity. The control algorithm based fuzzy logic was implemented on Altera DE-0 Nano FPGA. In this preliminary research, the power efficiency is up to 35% when compared with the condition without control.
