with Lucas

For more than 150 years, Lucas has set the standard for automotive lighting.

Every Lucas bulb combines reliability, performance, and safety, making it the trusted choice for drivers, workshops, and motor factors alike.

Every Lucas bulb is E-marked where applicable, ensuring compliance with ECE Regulation 37. This covers light output, filament geometry, voltage, wattage, and precise dimensions. Approvals come from Europe’s most respected authorities, such as Germany (E1), the UK (E11) and the Netherlands (E4), confirming OE-level standards.

At ELTA Automotive, we back Lucas quality with our own rigorous processes. As an ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001-accredited company, and one of the UK’s few bulb specialists with a dedicated testing laboratory, we test every Lucas bulb to ensure consistent performance and reliability.

Light Flux

ELTA measures light flux, colour temperature, and luminous intensity in-house using state-of-the-art Labsphere equipment.

Life Testing

Technicians run every bulb through life-cycle tests on advanced rigs to confirm longevity and reliability. Bulbs are switched on and off repeatedly, and twin-filament models are cycled through both filaments to mirror real-world use.

Geometric Measurement

To ensure a perfect beam pattern, technicians check every dimension and filament position with precision shadowgraph projection equipment.

Chromaticity

For coloured bulbs, ELTA verifies chromaticity so each light stays within the required colour range. This is critical for amber bulbs, which must meet specific colour coordinates.

Vibration and Shock

In use, the bulbs will also be subject to vibration and shock and so this is also simulated at the test facility. This is an especially important test for heavy duty and long-life bulbs.
