Forvia Hella Boosts S-Series LED Work Lamp Output
Upgraded lamps deliver higher lumens and lower power consumption while keeping their existing dimensions and design.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Trucks
Forvia Hella has upgraded its S-series LED work lamps, raising light output and efficiency without changing their design. The lamps are integrated as direct replacements with existing dimensions retained.
Why it matters
The upgrade gives users brighter lighting from existing mounting points while reducing power draw. Because dimensions are unchanged, the improved lamps can be swapped into current installations.
Module 90 S-series variant IV rises from 4,000 to up to 4,500 lumens, the Ultra Beam from 4,400 to up to 4,800 lumens, and the Oval 100 from 1,850 to up to 2,150 lumens. Power consumption is reduced on the Module 90 and Ultra Beam, though exact figures were not disclosed.
The players
Forvia Hella
Forvia Hella is a German automotive lighting and electronics supplier that produces LED work lamps and other vehicle lighting systems.
The details
New LED driver circuits supply the LEDs with precise power, and a revised protection circuit improves robustness against external influences. The Power Beam S-series is now offered in a 2,150-lumen version, and new Black Edition variants include Power Beam I at 1,150 lumens and III at 2,150 lumens.
Timeline
The S-series was launched in 2021.
Enhanced S-series lamps were announced on November 5, 2026.
Roadmap
The upgrade extends Forvia Hella's S-series line, first launched in 2021, by raising light output tiers while keeping the same physical form factor. It reflects a pattern of improving existing lighting platforms through electronics and LED efficiency rather than redesigning housings.
Truck owners and fleet operators can upgrade existing work lamps to brighter output without modifying mounting points. Lower power consumption on some models may ease electrical load on vehicles running auxiliary lighting.
The takeaway
Brighter lamps that fit existing mounts let operators improve visibility without reengineering their vehicles. Checking whether a current lamp has an S-series upgrade path can be a low-cost way to refresh worksite lighting.
