A device for controlling a driving light of a vehicle includes a headlight with a light source, a device for pivoting a produced light distribution and an optical element that provides adjustable light distribution. The optical element includes a light passage opening pivotable into an optical axis of the light source. A beam of the light distribution is limited or deflected such that a limited light field is produced in a pre-settable region in front of the vehicle, which light field has an external form of the light passage opening. Further light passage structures provide a 'high beam' or 'partial high beam' light pattern and thereafter the &#x201c;high beam&#x201d; light pattern by turning, pivoting and/or displacing the optical element in one direction, and another further light passage structure provides a &#x201c;motorway&#x201d; and thereafter a &#x201c;country road&#x201d; light pattern by turning, pivoting and/or displacing the optical element in an opposite direction.

Device for controlling a low beam of a vehicle

The invention relates to a light module () for an illumination device (), in particular for a headlight, for a motor vehicle. The light module () comprises a plurality of light sources () for emitting light beams (), at least one primary optical unit () for focusing the emitted light beams (), a stop arrangement () in the beam path of the focused light beams (), and at least one secondary optical unit () for imaging the focused light beams () which passed the stop arrangement () on a roadway in front of the motor vehicle in order to generate a desired light distribution. In order to be able to implement a particularly compact illumination device (), in particular with a particularly low installation height, in which moreover the exhaust heat generated by the light sources () during operation can escape particularly well, it is proposed that the light module () has at least two laterally emitting light emitting diodes () as light sources and at least two laterally arranged half-bowl reflectors (), assigned in each case to at least one of the light emitting diodes (), as primary optical units.

Light module for an illumination device for a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a projection module of an automobile headlight. The module includes several semiconductor light sources to broadcast optical irradiation of a primary optics assembly to bundle the emitted irradiation, and a secondary optics assembly that projects the bundled irradiation to create the desired light distribution in front of the vehicle. In order to reduce the weight and dimensions of the projection module, it is proposed that the secondary optics assembly is formed as a multi-part complex lens that includes several lens segments. Each of these lens segments is assigned to at least one irradiation bundle of irradiation bundled from the primary optics assembly, and projects this assembly as partial distribution in front of the vehicle, whereby the overall distribution of the projection module results from overlapping the partial distributions.
