Integrated Puddle Light Power Steps

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Technical Overview

Power steps with integrated puddle lights combine the functional mechanism with a dedicated LED lighting system built directly into the step platform. The lighting is typically a low-power, wide-dispersion LED array positioned to illuminate the ground directly beneath the step, enhancing safety and visual appeal during nighttime entry/exit. The lighting circuit is controlled by the main ECU, synchronizing deployment with light activation, often featuring a gradual fade-in/fade-out profile to match luxury vehicle ambient lighting systems.

The LED modules are sealed and recessed into the step platform, protecting them from physical damage and water ingress while maintaining a sleek, integrated aesthetic.

Introduction

Puddle light integration transforms the functional step into an elegant, safety-enhancing accessory. By brightly illuminating the ground surface, the steps improve visibility of potential hazards (puddles, curbs, debris) and add a premium, welcoming feature to the vehicle's exterior. This is a highly sought-after feature in the luxury and modern SUV segments.

Bohai Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. uses high-quality LED components and precise manufacturing techniques to ensure the lighting is durable, well-sealed, and seamlessly incorporated into the step's design, functioning as an extension of the vehicle's own lighting systems.

Applications

Luxury SUV Enhancements: Essential accessory for vehicles like the Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and high-end Range Rover variants.
Nighttime Safety Priority: Ideal for owners who frequently use their vehicles in poorly lit environments or rural areas.
Aesthetic Upgrades: Providing a signature visual element upon door opening, highly valued by the aftermarket customization sector.
Dealership Accessories: A preferred, high-value add-on that significantly enhances the perceived luxury and safety of a new vehicle.

Common Questions

Q: Does the lighting system consume a lot of battery power?
A: No. We use modern, high-efficiency LEDs that draw very little power (typically <5W per side). The lights are only active for short periods while the doors are open, making the impact on battery health negligible.

Q: What happens if a light module fails or is damaged?
A: The system is modular. The recessed LED module is typically replaceable independently of the step mechanism, allowing for cost-effective servicing without replacing the entire platform or motor assembly.

Q: Is the light color adjustable to match the vehicle's interior ambient lighting?
A: The standard color is pure white. However, we offer options for different color temperatures or even RGB modules on a customized basis to match specific vehicle ambient lighting systems (e.g., blue, amber, or configurable colors).

Core Features

Enhanced Ground Safety: Bright illumination directly under the step surface eliminates shadows and highlights obstacles, minimizing trip and fall hazards.
Integrated Wiring Protection: All electrical wires for the lighting are routed internally through the step platform or linkage arms, protecting them from road debris and abrasion.
Luxury Lighting Profile: The gradual fade-in and fade-out functionality creates a high-end, smooth lighting transition that matches luxury vehicle standards.
Durability: The recessed, sealed design ensures the LED modules are protected from high-pressure water washing, impact, and road debris.

Manufacturing & Customization

The production process includes a Water Ingress Test for the sealed LED modules. The entire step assembly undergoes an Illumination Uniformity Test to ensure the light distribution on the ground is consistent and wide.

Customization Opportunities: Focused on lighting features and aesthetics:

Dynamic/Sequential Lighting: Developing firmware and hardware that allows the light to sweep or sequence upon deployment for a modern, high-tech visual effect.
Logo Projection: Integrating a small, waterproof projector into the step or motor housing to project a client's logo onto the ground (similar to luxury welcome lighting).
Illuminated Brand Plaque: Incorporating a small, backlit brand plaque into the visible end cap of the retracted step.

Material Selection

The LED housing uses UV-Stable, Clear Polycarbonate Lenses for durability and optimal light transmission.

The step platform includes Precision-Machined Channels within the aluminum extrusion for seamless, recessed mounting of the light strip.

Internal wiring utilizes High-Temperature Silicone Sleeving for protection within the linkage structure, guarding against abrasion from movement.
