Abstract
The invention describes a lighting assembly (') for use in a lighting arrangement () of a vehicle (), comprising a projection lens () and an array () of light sources (S, . . . , S), wherein the projection lens () and the light source array () are arranged according to an asymmetry displacement (Φi, Φ, di, d) of the optical axis (X, X) of the projection lens (), and wherein the light sources (S, . . . , S) of the light source array () of the lighting assembly (′) are individually controllable to adjust a swivel angle (σ, σ) of a light beam (BL, BH) generated by that lighting assembly (′). The invention further describes a controller () for controlling the light sources (S, . . . , S) of such a lighting assembly (′). The invention also describes a lighting arrangement () for a vehicle (), comprising such a lighting assembly (′) and such a controller () for controlling the light sources (S, . . . , S) of the lighting assembly (′) to adjust the swivel angle (σσ) of the light beam (BL, BR). The invention also describes a method of generating a front beam (B, B) for a vehicle () comprising such a lighting assembly (′).
