Abstract
A vehicle lamp, such as a headlamp or fog lamp, having a concave reflector truncated at its top and bottom, one of the truncated surfaces being closer to the optical axis than the other truncated surface, and both truncated surfaces being substantially non-reflective. This achieves significant glare control without requiring a separate shield between the light source and the reflector.
