A vehicle airbag cover assembly, comprises a cover element and an electronic module comprising a light emitting element. The module is embedded in an at least partially transparent plastic material thus forming an integrated electronic module. The integrated module is arranged at the cover element such that an illumination from the at least one light emitting element is visible for a passenger when the airbag cover assembly is installed in a vehicle.

An LED lamp includes at least one light source and at least one translucent plastic element disposed in the beam path of the at least one lighting means. The plastic element includes at least two plastic layers made of different translucent materials, the translucency of each one of the two plastic layers having a different wavelength dependence such that the overall transmission function of the at least one plastic member is a desired value.

A method for obtaining PWM values for an LED module having n LED chips from various color ranges, wherein n&#x3e;1, wherein for each LED chip a PWM value for producing a target color value is obtained, is characterized in that a calibration measurement is performed in which the wave lengths (&#x3bb;, &#x3bb;, &#x3bb;) and/or the standard color proportion values ((x,y), (x,y), (x,y)) and possibly the luminous flux values of the individual LED chips are determined at a calibration temperature (T), PWM control points are obtained, where each PWM control point contains a PWM value for each of the n color ranges of the LED module, during operation of the LED module a value that depends on the present temperature (T) of the LED module, in particular the present temperature (T) itself, is determined, and a first and a second PWM control point are assigned to this temperature-dependent value, and the PWM values for producing the target color value are obtained through interpolation between the assigned PWM control points. This makes it possible to realize a precise color mixture in the LED module in a cost-effective way, with little computing power, despite temperature fluctuations (and possible electric current fluctuations).

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an adaptable vehicle cabin light, with which in all seating positions of a vehicle seat, reading conditions are optimal. The vehicle seat is adjustable. Each position of the vehicle seat has a corresponding reading area. The vehicle cabin light includes one or more light sources that align with the different reading areas. As the vehicle seat moves, the illumination moves with it. In some embodiments, the one or more light sources are controlled by a control unit which selectively turns on a group of the one or more light sources to illuminate the corresponding reading area of the position of the vehicle seat. In some embodiments, the one or more light sources are enclosed in an adjustable optics, wherein movements of the adjustable optics are controlled by the control unit.
