Object of the week: LED front lamp
All KYBURZ tricycles are equipped with an LED lamp at the front. The shape on the outside is drawn by KYBURZ. The inner workings, i.e. the light source and the lenses, were developed and certified by the manufacturer Jute in Taiwan.
The cooperation with Jute has existed for many years (during a visit to Taiwan, Martin Kyburz, Fabian Hächler and our Taiwanese partner Louis Ko are still wearing red CLASSIC shirts).
In 2020 alone, KYBURZ has ordered over 3500 LED lamps, which are being manufactured especially for us. Compared to the previously used halogen lamps, LED lamps consume less electricity, last longer, but are more expensive.
Would you like an example?
A DXS (consumption 6 kWh/100 km) needs 0.528 kWh of electricity to get from Freienstein to Tannenstrasse and back.
With this electricity, a halogen lamp shines for about 15 hours. The new LED front lamp even shines for 24 hours with the same amount of electricity. The light is similar to daylight, and therefore our eyes perceive this light as brighter than the light of an incandescent bulb.
