Sophisticated lighting technology demands precise calibration

Automotive lighting is becoming one of an increasingly important safety feature on modern vehicles and safe repairs require the most precise calibration.

But as head to tail collisions are still common, fixing headlights is an important part of the overall repair outcome. This means precise calibration.

To ensure the job is done well, safely and completely, it is worth turning to the pioneering expert in the field, Hella Gutmann.

Pioneering light

For decades, HELLA has been a pioneer in automotive lighting, trusted by vehicle manufacturers and workshops alike. As lighting systems have grown more sophisticated—featuring LED technology, matrix beams, and adaptive high beam assist—the need for equally advanced diagnostic and calibration tools has become critical. That’s where HELLA Gutmann steps in. As an expert in workshop equipment and diagnostics, and heritage in lighting innovation, it’s only natural their beam setter range is at the forefront of headlamp testing and adjustment technology.

The SEG series by HELLA Gutmann exemplifies this dual legacy of lighting expertise and workshop precision. To cater for the maximum number of business applications in modern automotive lighting, Hella have developed the SEG range; SEG V, SEG IV-SE  and SEG IV-DLLX to offer tailored solutions for a range of needs, all with German engineering precision.

SEG V: Smart, precise and future-ready.

The SEG V is HELLA Gutmann’s most advanced headlamp tester. Its standout feature? An 8.4” touchscreen with a simple, intuitive interface. It also offers vehicle-specific detection, ensuring accurate calibration even on glare-free high beam systems.

Thanks to automatic or manual level compensation, it adjusts for floor unevenness — a crucial detail for modern workshops. Compliant with German guidelines, it’s a benchmark in beam setter technology.

SEG IV-SE: Versatile
and workshop-proven

The SEG IV-SE is specifically aimed at SUVs, vans, or any vehicles with high-mounted headlights. It features an extended column height (up to 1650 mm) and a hybrid sight system combining laser and analog for pinpoint accuracy — even in challenging lighting.

Its 120° reflection angle also allows for alignment with external reference points, making it ideal for complex calibration tasks.

SEG IV-DLLX: Reliable,
robust and ready

The almost identical analog sister device SEG IV DLLX is excellent value for money. No less precise, it is a budget-friendly alternative for workshops who can do without the extra-long column and the practical hybrid sight of the SEG IV SE. Whether rail-mounted or free-standing, it adapts easily to your workspace.
