===Laser=== [[File:Audi at CES 2014 (11891990375).jpg|thumb|Audi Matrix Laser headlamp at [[Consumer Electronics Show]] 2014]] A laser lamp uses mirrors to direct a [[laser]] on to a [[phosphor]] that then emits a light. Laser lamps use half as much power as [[LED lamp]]s. They were first developed by [[Audi]] for use as headlamps in the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]] in 2014.<ref>{{cite web|first=Virginia |last=Herndon |url=https://www.audiusa.com/newsroom/news/press-releases/2014/01/laser-light-assists-audi-drivers-le-mans |title=Laser light assists Audi drivers at Le Mans |website=Audiusa.com |date=2014-01-20 |access-date=2017-07-18}}</ref> In 2014, the [[BMW i8]] became the first production car to be sold with an auxiliary high-beam lamp based on this technology.<ref>http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/bmw-i8-will-be-first-offer-new-laser-lighting-tech BMW i8 will be first to offer new laser lighting tech</ref> The limited-production [[Audi R8]] LMX uses lasers for its spot lamp feature, providing illumination for high-speed driving in low-light conditions.
