The invention describes a fiber light module comprising at least two light distribution fibers, wherein each light distribution fiber is enclosed in a corresponding fiber guiding tube, wherein the fiber guiding tubes are at least partly translucent and mechanically coupled by a stabilization structure, wherein the fiber light module further comprises a guiding structure mechanically coupled to the stabilization structure by means of a mechanical coupling interface, wherein the guiding structure is arranged to preserve a spatial arrangement of the stabilization structure along the mechanical coupling interface. The invention further describes a vehicle signaling light assembly comprising such a fiber light module and a vehicle signaling light which comprises such a vehicle signaling light assembly or fiber light module.

Fiber light module for vehicle signaling light

A lighting device and a lighting unit comprising a reflector and a lighting device, or LED lamp are described. The LED lamp have a first and a second LED assembly. Each LED assembly comprises at least one LED element with an LED chip and a carrier with a flat surface for carrying the LED chip. The LED chip emits light with a main optical direction. The first and second LED assembly are mounted relative to each other so that at least a first LED element from the first LED assembly and a second LED element from the second LED assembly enclose a rotating angle (&#x3b3;) between their respective flat surfaces with respect to an axis of rotation (A) so as to involve light angle between the first and second main optical directions. The axis of rotation (A) is parallel to a plane of a flat carrier surface of at least one LED element. The first and second LED assemblies are arranged offset from each other parallel to the axis of rotation (A). Thus, a lighting device with small dimensions and advantageous light distribution is obtained.

LED lighting device with improved light distribution

A lighting unit () is provided with a reflecting surface () for providing an output beam of light with at least two beam patterns. A first light source () and a second light source () are arranged to illuminate substantially identical surface areas of said reflecting surface () and are independently controllable from each other. The reflecting surface () is shaped and said light sources () are positioned relative to said reflecting surface () so that said first light source () generates an output beam of light, having a first beam pattern and said at least second light source () generates an output beam of light, having a second beam pattern, different from said first beam pattern. A corresponding vehicle headlamp () comprises at least one lighting unit ().

Lighting unit and vehicle headlamp

A lighting assembly and a lamp for a motor vehicle are described. A leadframeout of a metal sheet material comprises a first partand a second partnot directly electrically connected. An LED elementis fixed to the leadframe. A first contact partis connected to the first leadframe partand a second contact partis connected to the second leadframe part. The LED elementis disposed to emit light when operated. In order to achieve a desired directed emission of light in a simple way, the leadframecomprises a light direction sectionincluding a reflective surfacearrange to reflect the light emitted from the LED element

Leadframe LED lighting assembly

A lighting arrangement for use in automotive front lighting and a method of producing such an arrangement are described. At least one LED lighting elementis provided for emitting light. A collimatoris provided for forming an emission pattern of the emitted light, which is subsequently projected by a secondary optic arrangement. The collimatorcomprises a cutoff reflector surfacewith a front edgeand a back edge. The back edgeis located adjacent to the LED lighting element. The front edge is spaced from the back edgein a depth direction X, A. The front edgeis arranged as a shielding edge for forming a light/dark cutoff in the emission pattern. First and second lateral reflector surfacesare arranged opposite to each other adjacent to the LED lighting element. The front edgeof the cutoff reflector surfaceis arranged within a focal area of the secondary optic arrangement. For providing a beam pattern well suited for automotive front lighting, the first and second lateral reflector surfacesextend further into the depth direction A, X than the cutoff reflector surface

LED front lighting arrangement

The invention relates to a motor vehicle lighting fixture which comprises at least: a light source comprising at least one LED; a light-transmitting part that is arranged such that it receives light from the light source; and a reflector that is arranged such that it reflects that portion of the light from the light source that passes through the light-transmitting part and couples it out to the front of the lighting fixture, a reflection portion and a refraction portion being provided within the light-transmitting part, wherein said reflection portion deflects the light issuing from the light source through total reflection in one direction that is substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the reflector, whereas the refraction portion couples out the light in the direction of the reflector.

Vehicle light

The invention provides a car lighting unit () comprising a reflector () and a light source () arranged to generate light (). The reflector () circumferentially surrounds the light source and the reflector has a reflector opening (). The reflector is arranged to reflect at least part of the light from the light source through the reflector opening. The car lighting unit further comprises a 3D hologram (). The car lighting unit is constructed to generate a beam of light () and a holographic 3D image (), using light from the light source ().
