A vehicle lamp that incorporates means for protection against electrostatic discharges. Sn an embodiment, the vehicle Samp includes a metalized part that is made from synthetic polymer and that is metalized at least on one side of it. The vehicle lamp further includes a metalized retaining clip integral with the metalized part, and a grounding cable electrically connecting the metalized part to the ground via the metalized retaining clip. A first end of the grounding cable is fixed to a locking end of the metalized retaining clip and a second end of the grounding cable is connected to the ground to ensure a proper connection between the metalized part and the ground.

Vehicle lamp incorporating means for protection against electrostatic discharges

A lighting module for an automotive vehicle. The module comprises a support, for example made by a heat dissipation device, and a printed circuit board accommodating at least one light source of a first type. The printed circuit board is housed on the support. The lighting module proposes allowing light sources of a second type, generating, for example, a different amount of heat, to be housed so that the rays arising from the two types of sources may be coupled into one and the same light guide, while efficiently dissipating the heat generated by each of the types of light sources.

Lighting module for automotive vehicle comprising two types of light sources

The invention relates to an electronic assembly for an automotive lighting device. The inventive electronic assembly comprises a first group of light source connections and at least one jumper where each jumper is arranged to bypass a first spare light source connection belonging to the first group of light source connections by putting its first and second terminals in electrical contact. Hence when in operation, the first spare light source connection does not receive any light source. The first group of light source connections are intended to receive light sources which are used for the same lighting function. The invention also relates to a lighting device that includes such an electronic assembly with a method that includes manufacturing such a lighting device.

Electronic assembly, lighting device and method for manufacturing a lighting device

Device for controlling at least a first light source of a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle at least comprising the first light source being configured to provide a first light function and a second light source configured to provide a second light function, the device comprising: electrical means configured to detect activation of the second light source, and to deactivate the first light source after detection of activation of the second light source. Also, method for controlling at least a first light source of a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle comprising the first light source being configured to provide a first light function and a second light source configured to provide a second light function, the method comprising: electrically detecting activation of the second light source; and electrically deactivating the first light source after detecting activation of the second light source.

Device and method for controlling light sources in motor vehicles

A device controls at least a first light source of a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle includes at least the first light source to provide a first light function and a second light source to provide a second light function. The device includes an electrical structure to detect activation of the second light source, and to deactivate the first light source after detection of activation of the second light source. Also, a method controls at least a first light source of the motor vehicle. The method includes electrically detecting activation of the second light source and electrically deactivating the first light source after detecting activation of the second light source.

An automotive lamp including a light source driven by an electric current, and an electronic circuit configured to modify the electric current. The electronic circuit includes a plurality of discrete analog electronic components. The electronic circuit is configured to modify the electric current driving the light source so as to drive the light source with a first electric current ILor with a second electric current IL; to switch from the first electric current ILto the second electric current ILwhen a temperature T of the light source increases and exceeds a first temperature level TLinc; and to switch from the second electric current ILto the first electric current ILwhen the temperature T increases and exceeds a second temperature level TLinc, where ILis greater than ILL and TLinc is greater than TLinc.

Automotive lamp with compensation of the luminous flux of the light source

An electrical power supply device for at least one light source of the light emitting diode type and at least one electronic component, including a circuit for driving the electrical power supply of the light source or each light source, the drive circuit including at least one electrical conductor track and a housing for accommodating an insert, and an insert in an electrically conducting material, the insert being inserted in the accommodation housing and including a first end portion electrically connected to the conductor track, and a second end portion suited to being electrically connected to at least one electronic component so as to supply electrical power to the electronic component.

Electrical power supply device for at least one LED and at least one electronic component, comprising a circuit for driving the electrical power supply equipped with an insert

An electric power supply device for a plurality of light sources on a motor vehicle. The device includes a plurality of control units configured to control electric power supply of at least one respective light source. The control units each include a diagnostic unit configured to deliver a diagnostic signal for the respective light source. According to the invention, the device is designed to deliver two binary signals for the identification of a partial failure and for the identification of a total failure of light sources.

Detection of the partial and/or total failure of a group of light sources on a vehicle

The invention proposes to gather bin information identifying semiconductor-component light sources in a luminous module for a motor vehicle by way of a single electronic circuit in which the light sources and the bin information relating thereto are implemented. The invention allows the cabling between a supply device and a printed circuit board containing the electronic circuit according to the invention to be decreased since the bin information required for the configuration of the supply device is gathered actively over the supply line of the light sources.
