May 3, 2010... LEDs from Dominant Opto Technologies of Malaysia brighten the interior of the third generation of Kia’s Sportage car presented at the 80th Geneva Motor Show, March 2010. 

In the cockpit-dashboard cell, DomiLED and SpiceLED in special customized colors provide accent lighting. They are implemented not only in the backlighting of the extravagant dashboard but also in various buttons and switches as indicator light source such as green DomiLEDs in the auto temperature controller (ATC) and amber DomiLEDs in the audio and LCD buttons. 

Dominant says that Kia’s design team choose its DomiLEDs and SpiceLEDs not only due to their low power consumption and high functionality but also due to the extremely small size. In automotive applications compact size is a crucial benefit for automobile designers replacing traditional light sources with LEDs because space is limited.
