THREE-BEAM HEADLIGHT EVALUATION

A FIRST-ORDER EVALUATION OF THREE-BEAM, VEHICLE FORWARD LIGHTING SYSTEMS IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS REPORT. THREE DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS WERE EVALUATED. THE HIGH-BEAM MODE, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN THE THREE SYSTEMS, HAS VARIOUS COMBINATIONS OF HIGH-BEAM AND MIDBEAM FILAMENTS. THE THREE CONFIGURATIONS ARE 2-3-2, 2-3-3, AND 2-3-4. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT PRESENT AIMING REQUIREMENTS ARE SATISFACTORY FOR THE THREE-BEAM SYSTEMS. /MODIFIED AUTHOR ABSTRACT/
