Rain Light Sensor (RLS)

Six-in-one automotive sensor for rain, light, humidity, temperature and HUD — engineered over 20 years of continuous evolution.

OVERVIEW

Twenty years of windshield sensing — refined into a single ~15g module

Our Rain Light Sensor integrates six critical vehicle functions in a single windshield-mounted module: rain detection, light and tunnel detection, solar load sensing, humidity and temperature measurement, and HUD support. Built on BCS’s patented Fresnel technology and freeform lens design, it delivers best-in-class optical performance in a compact, modular package.”

BCS has been developing rain light sensors since 2004 — through five generations of continuous improvement in size, features, cost and performance. Today’s generation combines proven optical IP, custom-designed ASIC electronics, and modular mechanical construction weighing just ~15 grams.

This product is developed using BCS Functional Safety processes aligned with ISO 26262 requirements. Dedicated safety engineering activities, verification reviews, and independent assessments help ensure robust performance in vehicle applications where reliability and safety are essential
