A heat exchange system of a vehicle lighting device. The heat exchange system includes an air duct that is arranged facing a heat sink for transferring heat by the light sources of the lighting device. The air duct includes an air inlet portion with a first air passage area receiving an airflow into the air duct and an air outlet portion with a second air passage area directing the airflow towards a heatsink. In addition, an intermediate portion is disposed between the air inlet portion and the air outlet portion. The intermediate portion is having a variable cross-section in a non-linear way. The largest section of the intermediate portion is superior to the section of both the first air passage area and the second air passage area.

Automotive lighting device heat exchange system with an intermediate portion having modified air duct arrangement

An automotive lighting device including a light source, a driver arranged to control the operation of the light source, a housing, a desiccant salt and a separating element. The driver includes a driver cover arranged to dissipate the heat generated by the driver. The housing includes a housing wall and a ventilation element located in the housing wall, the ventilation element being configured to allow water vapour to exit the housing. The desiccant salt is arranged in thermal contact with the driver cover. The separating element is provided between the desiccant salt and the light source. A method for controlling the operation of the separating element is also provided.

Automotive lighting device and method for controlling an element thereof

A headlight unit including a cooling circuit provided with at least two air circulation pipes linked to at least a same device for generating an air flow, particularly a fan, and provided with at least one element for varying a proportion of the air flow, which proportion is distributed into each of the at least two pipes.

Headlight unit

A lighting module includes at least one heatsink configured to dissipate heat generated by a light source, the heatsink including at least a base and a dissipation member, the dissipation member including a series of fins projecting from the base, each fin being defined by a summit that defines the length of that fin, and by two end edges extending between the summit and the base. The lighting module is configured to pivot about two pivot axes, and the series of fins includes eccentric fins the length of which is less than the lengths of the fins at the centre of the dissipation member, at least one fin further having at least one bevel at the junction between the summit and an end edge.

Pivotable lighting module for vehicle lamp

A vehicle headlight air extractor includes an air inlet and an air outlet, a ventilation chamber disposed between the air inlet and the air outlet of the air extractor, the ventilation chamber includes a fan adapted to produce a flow of air from the air inlet to the air outlet, and a sealing system against external particles.
