Im letzten Jahrzehnt, Die Außenbeleuchtung von Serienfahrzeugen hat sich von einer einzigen Funktion – der Sichtbarkeit bei Nacht – auf eine Reihe unterschiedlicher Arbeitsplätze ausgeweitet. Zwei davon, die Pfützenlampe im Tür-Ausgangsbereich und die Logo-Lampe an der Karosserie, haben sich von der Differenzierung im Luxussegment hin zu elektrischen Plattformen der mittleren bis oberen Preisklasse entwickelt. KEPO verfügt über Serienprogramme in beiden Produktlinien.
Puddle Lamp: The Seat-Height Blind Spot on Tall Vehicles
The Puddle Lamp addresses a simple physical fact: drivers of tall vehicles — SUVs, MPVs, pickups — cannot see the ground beside the door from seat height. After dark, after rain, in unfamiliar lots, where the next step lands is something the driver cannot predict but the vehicle can illuminate.
The component is typically mounted under the side mirror or the lower door. It ships as standard or factory option across several European luxury brands and full-size American SUVs.
From an OEM perspective, the Puddle Lamp belongs to the “low-BOM / high-perception” differentiation category — modest unit cost, but triggered on every entry. It is one of the few small-lamp components that consistently enters the driver’s daily experience.
Logo Lamp: A Visual Channel for Vehicle Locating and Brand Identity
The Logo Lamp projects a brand mark or owner-customized icon onto the body or the ground beside it. Its product context belongs to a longer OEM investment thread: vehicle locating and identification.
Automakers have iterated through several generations in this thread — early hazard-flash and key-fob signals, then sequential welcome lamps and flowing turn indicators, and now projection-based Logo Lamps. The Logo Lamp’s position in this sequence is visual, quiet, customizable — no sound, no whole-vehicle lighting choreography, single-point recognition.
The component is typically mounted under the door or on the external mirror. Owner-defined patterns are a more recent addition to the category.
Where KEPO Stands in Both Lines
KEPO has series-production programs in both Puddle Lamp and Logo Lamp. Our view on these two product lines: they are not decorative parts. They are daily-experience parts — triggered on every trip — which means reliability, Konsistenz, and stable vehicle-level integration matter as core indicators.
