Abstract

A lamp having a multi-reflex optical system can include a first ellipse group reflector and a third ellipse group reflector each sharing one light source at a first focal point, with a second focal point of the first reflector being above its first focal point and a second focal point of the third reflector being positioned below its first focal point. A parabolic group second reflector can be positioned above the first reflector and can have a focal point located at the second focal point of the first reflector. A parabolic group fourth reflector can be positioned below the third reflector and can have a focus at the second focal point of the third reflector. Light from the light source that is converged by the ellipse group first reflector and third reflector is then supplied to the parabolic group second and fourth reflectors to provide a bright oblong headlamp.
