The present disclosure relates to an optical fiber apparatus, including an optical fiber with at least two separate input guide sections provided at one end with a cross-section which is given at least in sections and comprises an edge section having a first radius, which converge and successively unite via a merging section to form a common main guide section with a cross-section which is given at least in sections and includes an edge section having a second radius, so that light introduced into an input guide section is guided into the common main guide section, where the merging section extends over a length which corresponds to 10-50 times the first radius.

Optical fiber apparatus

The present disclosure relates to a communication light device for a vehicle interior, having a housing, wherein light sources are arranged in a row on a housing base, wherein the light sources are configured to generate a time-controllable light signal, wherein a side wall of the housing has a light exit opening which extends across the side wall in the direction of the row of light sources and which points towards the vehicle interior when the communication light device is in an intended installation position, and wherein internal walls of the housing have a diffusely reflecting surface.

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.
