Brighter car headlights in Canada are causing dangerous glare, prompting calls for updated safety rules.
Brighter LED and HID headlights in Canada are causing widespread concern, with drivers and officials reporting dangerous glare that impairs night vision.
Modern low-beam headlights can emit up to 12,000 lumens—far exceeding the 700 to 1,200 lumens of older halogen bulbs—leading to blinding effects for oncoming motorists.
Experts say current safety regulations, including Transport Canada’s standards, do not address glare, creating a gap between rapid lighting innovation and road safety.
The issue has drawn attention in both Canada and the U.S., where lawmakers have called for federal action, but no updated rules have been implemented to balance visibility with reduced glare.
