Amalambu akhanya emini (abuye aziwe ngokuthi ama day running lights) namadaytime running lights asethelwe ukukhombisa ukuthi kukhona izimoto ngaphambili phakathi nosuku futhi afakwa nhlangothi zombili zangaphambili.
Izibani zasemini zisetshenziselwa:
Kuwukukhanya okwenza kube lula ukubona imoto emini. Inhloso yawo akukhona ukuthi umshayeli abone umgwaqo, kodwa ukwazisa abanye ukuthi kuza imoto. Ngakho lesi sibani asisona isibani, kodwa isibani esiwuphawu. Yebo, ukwengezwa kwezibani zasemini kungenza imoto ibukeke ipholile futhi icwebezela, kodwa umphumela omkhulu wamalambu akhanya emini, awukona ukuba muhle, kodwa ukuhlinzeka ngemoto ukuthi ibonakale.
Ukukhanyisa amalambu emini kwehlisa izinga lezingozi zezimoto ngo-12.4% uma ushayela phesheya. Iphinde yehlise nengozi yokufa ngama-26.4%. Kafushane nje, inhloso yamarobhothi emini wukuphepha kwezimoto. Ngakho-ke, eminyakeni yamuva nje, amazwe amaningi enze izinkomba ezifanele zamalambu asemini ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ukukhiqizwa nokufakwa kwezibani zasemini kungabamba iqhaza ngempela ekuqinisekiseni ukuphepha.
Iphuzu elibaluleke kakhulu lamalambu asebenza emini e-LED ukusebenza kokusabalalisa ukukhanya. Izibani zasemini kufanele zihlangabezane nezidingo eziyisisekelo zokukhanya, kodwa akufanele zikhanyise kakhulu, ukuze zingaphazamisi abanye. Ngokuya ngamapharamitha wobuchwepheshe, ukushuba okukhanyayo ku-eksisi yesithenjwa akufanele kube ngaphansi kuka-400cd, futhi amandla okukhanya kwezinye izinkomba akumele abe ngaphansi komkhiqizo wephesenti lika-400cd namaphoyinti ahambisanayo kumdwebo wokusabalalisa ukukhanya. Kunoma ikuphi, amandla okukhanya akhishwa i-luminaire akufanele abe ngaphezu kwama-800cd.
