Premium automotive lighting, care and equipment
Your guide to road readiness
Whether you’re a first-time car owner or an experienced driver, you never know what’s waiting for you around the next corner. That’s why it helps to be prepared for anything, every time you take the wheel.
This helpful guide covers our top road safety tips, as well as a selection of premium automotive lighting, care and equipment products that are essential additions to your road survival kit.
Ready to repair
Breakdown kit essentials
If your car is still equipped with a spare wheel, you should always have a jack and wrench with you. However, especially in the event of a second puncture, it helps to have a repair kit on hand.
The OSRAM TYREseal Kit, which includes a bottle of quick sealant, a tyre compressor, and a storage bag, will allow you keep driving for up to 200 km before replacing the tyre or having it professionally repaired.
No driving survival kit is complete without a battery starter. The BATTERYstart 400 comes with a power bank to charge electronic devices, and a bright LED working light.
Ready to own the night
Night driving safety tips
Tiredness slows your reaction time. If you’re driving long stretches late at night, be sure to take regular breaks and have a caffeinated drink.
Glare from your headlights can impair other driver’s visibility. Make sure you switch your lights on before it gets dark and never shine your high beams at oncoming traffic.
If you need to pull over at night, do it safely with the LEDguardian ROAD FLARE Signal V161. With its 360 degree yellow-orange warning light function, it’s visible from a long distance and draws the attention of other road users by actively flashing.
Ready to hit the road
Pre-trip vehicle inspection
Checking for burnt out lamps is a standard part of any pre-trip inspection. However, head lights fade over time so it’s important to test their brightness before a journey and replace weak lamps too.
Keeping a complete set of spare lamps in the car saves you a trip to the garage. When changing head lights, always replace both lamps to ensure even light distribution, and upgrade to a brighter lamp if you can.
Whether you’re doing a routine inspection or roadside repairs at night, the versatile LEDinspect POCKET 200 and LEDguardian SAVER LIGHT PLUS allow you to see those hard-to-reach places clearly.
Additional tips
- Driving with small children? Keep them entertained with travel games so they don’t distract you from the road.
- Add a few doses of your prescription medications to your first-aid kit.
- Protect yourself and your passengers against air pollution and allergens with a portable air purifier.
- Aftermarket aspherical mirrors are available for many car models. They reduce blind spots, helping you avoid cyclists and pedestrians.
