At Kartal Auto, we are committed to blending innovative technology with the timeless beauty of classic cars. Our recent Aston Martin DB3 Star Light Installation was a transformative project that added a breathtaking celestial ambiance to the interior of this iconic vehicle. The star light feature provided a unique and luxurious touch, reminiscent of a starry night, enveloping passengers in an atmosphere of elegance and comfort.
During the installation process, we encountered a few challenges, but our experienced team provided effective solutions to ensure the installation was flawless and the final result exceeded expectations.
Challenges & Expert Solutions
1. Compatibility with Classic Electrical System
Issue: The DB3’s original electrical system was not designed to handle the demands of modern lighting systems, including fiber-optic star lights.
Solution: We upgraded the car’s electrical wiring to support the fiber-optic lighting without overloading the system. Our team installed a custom power distribution unit that safely provided the necessary power to the star light setup, ensuring seamless integration with the vintage electrical system.
2. Uneven Light Distribution
Issue: Initially, the fiber-optic strands didn’t distribute light evenly across the roof, leading to some areas being too bright while others were too dim.
Solution: We recalibrated the fiber-optic strands and adjusted their placement to ensure an even, consistent glow throughout the entire roof area. This adjustment created a balanced, stunning starry effect, reminiscent of a clear night sky.
3. Fiber-Optic Light Visibility and Glare
Issue: The positioning of some of the fiber-optic strands caused glare and reflected light in certain areas, which was distracting and disrupted the overall effect.
Solution: We carefully adjusted the fiber-optic strands to reduce glare, using diffusers and shields to soften the light. This ensured that the star light feature created a calming and ambient atmosphere without interfering with visibility or the driving experience.
4. Limited Headliner Space
Issue: The DB3’s interior, while beautiful, had limited headliner space, which made it difficult to hide the fiber-optic cables and components necessary for the star light effect.
Solution: We designed a custom headliner mount to discreetly house the fiber-optic cables and lighting components. This innovative solution maintained the clean, original aesthetic of the car’s interior while ensuring the lights were positioned perfectly for optimal effect.
5. Customization of Lighting Features
Issue: The client wanted a customizable star light experience, with the ability to adjust brightness, twinkle effects, and even switch between colors.
Solution: We installed a smart control system, allowing the client to adjust the settings of the star light via a mobile app or a dedicated control panel. This feature enabled the client to personalize the starry effect, from dimming the lights for a relaxing evening drive to adding a twinkling effect for an enchanting ambiance.
