A Brief History of Headlight Bulb Design
« on: May 03, 2017, 08:58:05 AM »
Kriss Motorcycle Products produced this brief history of headlight design. The company has since been sold and its original site hacked. This link is from an archive.org link in Reply #3 that rbm retrieved. LED lighting technology continues to advance.

I wept because I had no radials until I met a man who had no splines.

What is the subject of your teaching—vehicular lighting, marketing or something else?

I work for an automotive software and service lane solution company based out of Toronto. Once a month I fly to our headquarters in Markham to teach our suite of solutions, processes and best practices to the new hire Process Consultants (most based in the States).

I use the Audi video to demonstrate the evolution of technology in our industry.
