Volvo Car Group has become the first car manufacturer to introduce SunLike LEDs, supplied by Seoul Semiconductor, to its production vehicles with the Polestar 3 and the Volvo EX90. The new lighting addition is designed to enhance the connection with nature, both day and night, and enables a more natural colour expression beyond what’s achievable with LEDs used today in the automotive industry.
The SunLike LEDs complement the panoramic roof and open cabin, and deliver low light reflection and a high colour index that expresses natural colours just as they are seen in nature. “By utilising the spectrum of light emitted from the SunLike LEDs, the progressive materials and interior design of the Volvo EX90 stand out more clearly and without colour distortion,” says Dan Fidgett, Head of Colour & Materials.
The lights are central to Volvo’s Scandanavian design language, and all non-decorative lights in the Volvo EX90 interior come with SunLike LEDs as standard. “The wellbeing of our customers is always a main focus for interior design at Volvo Cars. Bringing in SunLike LEDs to the interior of the Volvo EX90 is another illustration of our ambition to bring in innovative technology to deliver a renewed premium in-car experience for our customers,” says Dan Fidgett.
SunLike lights are already used to bring natural light to interior spaces in residential spaces, hospitals, schools, museums and horticultural applications. In addition to magnifying the aesthetics of the progressive interior, SunLike lights also provide natural comfort to all occupants of the Volvo EX90. The suppression of blue-light in combination with non-flickering light emitting from cabin luminaires can help reduce eyestrain and headaches associated with such exposure.
