“The automotive OEM lighting go-to-market synergies and conditions that made the union of Lumileds and Philips automotive lighting business so compelling nearly a decade ago have changed as transportation manufacturers have adopted LEDs as their standard light source and traditional automotive light sources have transitioned to primarily an automotive aftermarket business,” said Steve Barlow, Lumileds CEO. “Our Lamps and Accessories and our LED businesses are industry leaders in their respective markets and will be free to focus on the ongoing growth of their unique brands, channels and customers.”

      The automotive aftermarket’s premiere event, AAPEX 2024, is now just a matter of weeks away. As Carm Capriotto explains in the latest edition of AAPEX Insights, the event is not just an opportunity to explore new products, but a chance to significantly enhance your business.
      In this installment, Capriotto details the benefits of attending AAPEX. He recalls one shop owner’s enthusiasm as he discovered new products and networked with suppliers. This kind of interaction—seeing, touching and asking questions about new tools—provides a level of insight that online research simply cannot match.
      Capriotto discusses AAPEX with Matt Fanslow, manager at Riverside Automotive in Red Wing, MN, and host of the “Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z” podcast. They note a growing trend among shops that attend AAPEX: They return with renewed energy and knowledge that can directly boost their revenue. Any temporary disruption caused by closing a shop for a few days to attend AAPEX is outweighed by the increased efficiency and innovation that follows.
      Fanslow compares the AAPEX experience to a trip to Disney World—expensive but worth the investment. Just as people plan and sacrifice to make a memorable trip happen, investing in AAPEX can significantly improve your shop’s operations and team capabilities. The exposure to new technologies and networking opportunities can invigorate your business and motivate your team.
      The knowledge gained, the relationships built, and the new tools and techniques discovered at AAPEX can lead to substantial long-term benefits. This year’s show runs from November 5-7 in Las Vegas. You can register at

      link hidden, please login to view introduced a new light to the link hidden, please login to view Xperion 3000 LED Work Light product lineup. The Xperion 3000 Under Bonnet LED light is designed to provide excellent visibility for auto service pros and DIYers while working in the engine bay, the company said.

      To help improve efficiency while working, Lumileds said the Xperion 3000 Under Bonnet light can be mounted to any location under the vehicle hood, utilizing either the integrated magnet in the base of the light or one of two fold-out hooks. The light features two adjustable LED lightbars that pivot and tilt, to direct the light exactly where it is required.
      “We originally designed our Xperion 6000 LED work light line with automotive professionals in mind,” notes Jason Dreger, Lumileds product manager for aftermarket accessories. “We created the Xperion 3000 LED work light line to give DIYers a more affordable option, but we’ve seen that pros appreciate the quality, performance, and value of the Xperion 3000 line as well. The Xperion 3000 Under Bonnet light is maneuverable, adjustable, and provides incredible light for as long as the job takes. The multiple hands-free operation choices let you concentrate on the job at hand without needing to constantly reposition your light.”
