Auto-dimming rear mirrors can make it easier and safer to drive around Lemoyne, PA at night, and the folks at LB Smith Lincoln want to talk more about how they work. Simply put, they reduce excess light produced by other vehicles or objects in your car's vicinity.
When a sensor inside the auto-dimming mirror detects excess light, it will send an electric signal across the gel placed inside the mirror. When the sensor determines that the excess light has been removed from the cabin, it will shut itself off.
This type of tool is especially important in a car because light that reflects off a rearview mirror could cause temporary blindness. Bright lights can also be a distraction that increases your risk of an accident even if they don't directly interfere with your ability to see what is going on around you.
