Rosco Engineers New Eye-Max LED Down Lit Crossview Mirror For Low Light Conditions

November 05th, 2020

Rosco, a leading manufacturer of automotive vision safety solutions to the commercial vehicles market, has added a revolutionary new product to the Eye-Max crossview mirror line.

Rosco has integrated two existing products, the Eye-Max mirror and Bright-Vision® lighting, to create the Eye-Max® LED down lit crossview mirror. Bright-Vision®, an LED lighting system developed by Rosco in 2007 to enhance views in mirrors and cameras during low light vehicle operations. In such conditions, reflections in any mirror are difficult to see; an object or pedestrian in front of the vehicle may be almost impossible to see.

The Eye-Max® LED was engineered to improve visibility for drivers at night. The new mirror system utilizes 4 under-mounted LED lights to illuminate objects and pedestrians immediately in front of the vehicle making them visible to the driver. Like the standard Eye-Max LP mirror, the LED mirror is compliant with the New York State safety law calling for crossview mirrors. The law currently states that all trucks registered in the state of New York with a maximum gross weight of 26,000 pounds or more are to be equipped with a crossview mirror when driving in New York cities with at least one million residents.
