From the very first DuraLED^® designed in 1996 and field trialled in 1998, HELLA New Zealand's radical pursuit to create a range of ‘Fit and Forget’, highly visible LED Marker and Signal Lamps, permanently lowered the cost of ownership for our fleets and made our roads safer. ‘Fit & Forget’ by Design is a HELLA no compromise philosophy and commitment to design for long-term durability and safety.

Where Environmental Choice meets Economic Sense

In a world where the conservation of precious resources and the development of renewable energy sources are given prominence by scientists and decision makers, energy efficient LED lighting has a substantial role to play towards lowering the global carbon footprint without sacrificing functionality or compromising safety.

In addition to the conservation of energy, LED products can be designed to be
long term durable. Much of this durability however depends on the component
and material choices of the designer /manufacturer.

Due to global price pressures there is significant motivation for manufacturers
to cut cost, using materials that fade or embrittle over time, using sealing
systems than can fail over time or electronic components which are stressed to close to their limits. The HELLA designers of the DuraLED^® range of products have made no such trade-offs. The DuraLED^® range has been designed in all aspects, components, sealing systems and material choices to ensure a very long useful economic life.
