When light creates a new sensation

What happens when you combine your vehicle interior with our in-depth understanding of the art of light? A completely new sensation. One in which light communicates with the people in the vehicle and speaks to their senses. Affecting their mood. Their energy, calmness and joy. Making them safer. Improving their well-being. Our light is the best passenger.

Light guides

Gain valuable interior space

feno flat light guides are as thin as a ruler. With a thickness of only 2 mm they require very little installation space. They are laser-structured for absolutely homogeneous distribution of light over surfaces of any size. And they can be thermoformed to follow any contour. All this gives rise to completely new lighting concepts for vehicle interiors.

Only 2 mm high and technologically light years ahead.

feno’s flat light guides are the basis for completely new lighting concepts in the vehicle.

The vehicle interior becomes a freely configurable ambiance and information space – with no compromises on installation height.

Interactive prototyping: With our flat light guides you can significantly reduce time to market.

Freedom for designers

Take advantage of the wide variety of new possible shapes, formats and applications. You can seamlessly link feno flat light guides to vehicle functions, and integrate them in comfort, safety and information systems. Move the boundaries.

Adaptable thanks to thermoforming

Ultra-thin materials, individually shapeable. Vehicle interior design has never been more fun.

Flexible choice of materials
CALE control unit

feno makes vehicles talk

When light speaks, cars communicate and interact with other road users. This is precisely why we developed CALE™ (CAN LightingEcu). This control unit for lighting applications uses the CAN protocol to address intelligent LEDs individually and uses multi messages to create universal lighting scenes. Using subnetworks, CALE™ addresses more than 30,000 LED positions in the entire CAN network at high speed.

Matrix displays will play an increasingly important role in exterior lighting in the future. We can quickly provide other road users with information using light signals or full LED panels. And we can give vehicles their own individual styling.

Essay

Light can breathe new life into cars

“There will be massive changes in interior automotive lighting in the years ahead, giving the car a completely new value,” says Lars Raith, CEO of wontec, a consulting and service company for the automotive industry. In this personal essay he describes how OEMs will emotionalize their brand experience with applications derived from light art.
