Abstract

A vehicle light can include a light source, at least one first elliptic group reflecting surface shaped as half of an elliptical surface (after either an upper or lower substantial half of the substantial ellipse is cut-off). The first elliptic group reflecting surface can have its longitudinal axis on an optical axis of the vehicle light, and a first focus located in the vicinity of the light source. Two second elliptic group reflecting surfaces can be provided that are shaped as substantial halves of elliptical surfaces (after either upper or lower substantial halves of substantial ellipses are cut-off). The second elliptic group reflecting surfaces can have longitudinal axes that are substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the vehicle light, and their first foci can be located in the vicinity of the light source. Two third parabolic group reflecting surfaces can each have its optical axis oriented in a direction that is substantially the same as the direction of the optical axis of the vehicle lamp, and can have foci located in the vicinity of the second focus of each of the second elliptic group reflecting surfaces.
