LIGHT Safety Act
This bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to update federal safety standards for vehicle headlamps by setting a maximum brightness limit for low beam lights. The rule must be finalized within one year of the bill's enactment and will measure light intensity in lumens or another approved unit. This change directly affects vehicle manufacturers and drivers by standardizing headlamp brightness to reduce glare on roads. The legislation aims to improve highway and two-lane road safety by limiting how bright headlights can be.
