Federal-Mogul’s high-efficiency LED interior dome lamp is designed to be operated with a wave of the hand, providing for improved durability and reduced energy use while eliminating the design constraints of mechanical switches. The lamp integrates a capacitive sensor into the vehicle’s overhead console to eliminate the driver’s search for the correct mechanical switch in increasingly crowded consoles and instrument panels; the field sensitivity range can be set to function from 0 mm to 80 mm.
The system can be programmed to provide additional functions and personalization options such as changes to the light’s intensity and color. The lamp has a low power requirement of 0.5 watts and a lens heat of about 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
