At Kartal Auto, we specialize in transforming classic cars into modern marvels while preserving their historical beauty. Our recent Aston Martin DB2 Star Light Installation brought a touch of magic to this iconic British sports car, adding a stunning, starry-night effect to the cabin. The project required meticulous attention to detail, combining the vehicle’s vintage elegance with cutting-edge lighting technology.
Throughout the installation, we encountered a few challenges, but our expert team crafted innovative solutions to ensure the final result was flawless, creating an unforgettable experience for the driver and passengers alike.
Challenges & Expert Solutions
1. Limited Power Supply for Modern Lighting
Issue: The original electrical system was not designed to support the power demands of modern fiber-optic lighting systems.
Solution: We upgraded the electrical system to support the fiber-optic lighting without overloading the circuits. Our team installed a custom power distribution system that ensured a reliable and safe power supply for the lighting, while maintaining the integrity of the car’s vintage electrical setup.
2. Uneven Fiber-Optic Light Distribution
Issue: The initial fiber-optic placement resulted in uneven lighting, with some areas overly bright and others too dim, disrupting the starry effect.
Solution: Our team carefully repositioned and adjusted the fiber-optic strands, ensuring an even and balanced distribution of light across the headliner. This adjustment created a seamless, starry ambiance, perfect for an authentic celestial effect.
3. Fragile Headliner Material
Issue: The original headliner material was delicate and could not support the fiber-optic strands without damage.
Solution: We replaced the headliner with a premium, period-appropriate fabric that was not only durable enough to hold the fiber-optic lights but also complemented the car’s vintage aesthetic. This ensured both functionality and aesthetic appeal while maintaining the car’s classic design.
4. Customizable Lighting Features
Issue: The client requested the ability to adjust the brightness and twinkling effects of the star lights, but the original setup did not provide this level of customization.
Solution: We integrated a smart control system that allowed the client to control the lighting via a remote or smartphone app, offering the flexibility to adjust the brightness, twinkle speed, and even change colors for different moods or occasions.
5. Minimizing Glare and Reflections
Issue: Some areas of the fiber-optic strands caused glare on the windows and windshield, which could interfere with visibility while driving.
Solution: We used fiber-optic diffusers to soften the light and carefully positioned the strands to avoid any glare or reflection. This ensured that the starry ambiance created by the lights didn’t disrupt the driving experience.
