BMW's Laser Headlights go on production

The 2015 BMW i8 will initially offer 'angel-eyes' laser lights as high beam option, beams that could reach even farther and have ultra-precise beam patterns. Additional models will soon have laser lights. The advantages of monochromatic lasers; emit less heat, are produced in one wavelength and provide an intense & high-contrast lighting. They are also power-savers, needing less power than conventional light diodes. The laser diodes are also miniaturized assemblies, ten times smaller than regular diodes. needing less volume and weighs much lighter. With this production option, BMW overtakes the tantalizing Audi's laser lighting concepts.
