Bulb, licence plate light - 12866CP PHILIPS

A special device - a rear license plate light, must illuminate the registration number, which is located at the back of the vehicle. The degree of illumination must be sufficient so that the information can be seen at night at a distance of at least 20 meters. For this reason, it is important to select high quality and bright lamps in the room lighting.

The functionality of the PHILIPS brand Bulb, licence plate light

If you have installed insufficiently bright light source, it will be problematic to make out the number. It is also not recommended to install overly powerful bulbs on the license plate: this will attract a lot of unnecessary attention to you and distract other road users. If the license plate light is very bright, it can light up the registration numbers of the car, which threatens the car owner with a fine.

To prevent this from happening, the choice of an energy source must be approached responsibly. The lamp for illuminating the license plate for different cars may have unequal power, since it depends on the design features of not only the car, but also the backlight.
