LIGHT PROJECTION DEVICE AND LIGHT PROJECTION DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
Provided is a light projection device and a light projection device for vehicle, and the light projection device includes: a light source having light emission portions disposed side by side in a predetermined direction; convex lenses, which focus light irradiated from the light emission portions; an optical scanner having a mirror portion that scans the light passing through the convex lenses, and a drive source swinging the mirror portion; and a projection lens disposed between the convex lenses and the mirror portion, or disposed in a position to which the light scanned from the mirror portion is projected. The convex lenses are disposed side by side in the predetermined direction at intervals so that the light transmitted through and focused by the convex lenses in a stationary state comes close.
Method of coupling automotive exterior light bars
First adapter (10) and second adapter (40) are each separately securable to a respective automotive light bar (200, 201) at mutually facing lateral light bar end caps (206). The adapters (10, 40) interfit, such as first adapter (10) having one or more tenons (14; 18) received in shape-conforming recess or mortise (44) of second adapter (40). The coupling assembly formed from interfit first and second adapters (10, 40) sufficiently supports a midspan region of conjoined light bars (200, 201) to permit omission of mounting L-brackets (208) conventionally required at the mutually facing light bar ends (206), thus allowing fewer holes to be drilled in vehicle roof or bumper (212) and resulting in an aesthetically cleaner presentation of the overall lengthened light bar assembly.
CIRCADIAN-FRIENDLY LED LIGHT SOURCES
Methods and apparatus for providing circadian-friendly LED light sources are disclosed. A light source is formed to include a first LED emission (e.g., one or more LEDs emitting a first spectrum) and a second LED emission (e.g., one or more LEDs emitting a second spectrum) wherein the first and second LED emissions are combined in a first ratio and in a second ratio such that while changing from the first ratio to the second ratio the relative circadian stimulation is varied while maintaining a color rendering index above 80.
UNDER CHASSIS LIGHT
A light assembly configured to be removably coupled to a ferromagnetic support surface includes a base with a magnetic coupling member, a battery coupled to the base, an arm pivotally coupled to the base, and a light head pivotally coupled to the arm such that a position of the light head relative to the base is adjustable. The light head includes a light-emitting element powered by the battery. The magnetic coupling member is configured to support the light assembly by magnetic attraction to the support surface.
LIGHT STRIP DEVICE FOR A DOOR LEAF OF A BOARDING SYSTEM OF A RAIL VEHICLE
A light strip device to be secured on or in a window jamb of a window opening of a door leaf of a rail vehicle boarding system in a nondestructively releasable manner, wherein the window opening has a window pane. The light strip device has at least: a) one light strip which is provided with a number of light sources arranged in a mutually spaced manner in rows, and b) one holding and installation profile in which the at least one light strip can be received and which is provided with an attachment to the window jamb, wherein c) the holding and installation profile has at least one light through-opening such that light generated by the light sources can penetrate the light through-openings, and the holding and installation profile is opaque with the exception of the light through-openings or d) the holding and installation profile is at least partly transparent.
Optical Device for Motor Vehicle Headlight
An optical device for a motor vehicle headlight for producing continuously closed light distribution. The optical device includes: light sources; collimators which are respectively associated with a light source; and a light guiding body, which has a light shaping structure and is formed from a plurality of interconnected facets. The facets respectively have an inclination to the main emission direction, wherein the spatial vector of a facet forms a horizontal and a vertical angle of inclination to the main emission direction. The inclinations of all facets are distributed such that the horizontal angles of inclination are respectively distributed around an expected value that corresponds to the maximum luminous intensity of the light distribution such that light that enters or leaves the light guiding body via facets that have horizontal and vertical angles of inclination corresponding to the expected value forms the maximum luminous intensity of the light distribution. The light shaping structure forms the light entry side and/or the light exit side of the light guiding body, wherein the facets are distributed substantially homogeneously on the light entry and/or exit sides in relation to their respective inclinations.
Edge lighting for a continuous illumination appearance
A light system of a vehicle comprising: a housing comprising: a glue bucket; a glue leg located partially or entirely within the glue bucket; and a light guide located between the glue bucket and the glue leg; wherein the light system is located proximate to a gap in the vehicle and the light guide guides light from the light guide into the glue leg and from the glue leg across the gap so that the light extends across the gap to illuminate the gap.
Headlamp unit based on a polarized beam splitter and at least two light path systems
A headlamp unit based on a PBS includes a lens and a beam splitter. Viewed from a reverse light path, parallel light is refracted twice by an incident surface and an emergent surface of the lens and then converged in at least two focuses through the beam splitter. Each focus corresponds to a light path system, and the light path systems may be turned on simultaneously or separately to obtain a corresponding headlamp light pattern. Through beam combination of the PBS, two optical systems may achieve different illumination light shapes through on-off combination of light sources, and the two optical systems do not interfere with each other. The PBS obtains at least two accurate focus positions for the focuses of the lens, and an ideal light pattern may be accurately obtained. An upper beam light pattern may partially cover a lower beam light pattern.
Heat-emitting transparent plate, method of manufacturing the heat-emitting transparent plate, heat-emitting device including the heat-emitting transparent plate and objects including the heat-emitting device
A heat-emitting transparent plate includes a heat-emitting region that is transparent to visible light and is a region that emits heat by absorbing infrared rays. The heat-emitting region includes a meta-surface, and the meta-surface includes a plurality of meta-patterns to absorb infrared rays. A method of manufacturing a heat-emitting transparent plate includes forming a material layer on a transparent substrate and forming a plurality of patterns on the transparent substrate by patterning the material layer. The plurality of patterns include a material that is transparent to visible light and that emits heat by absorbing infrared rays, and a pitch of the plurality of patterns is less than a wavelength of the infrared rays. A heat-emitting device includes the heat-emitting transparent plate and a light source.
Vehicle lighting with thermal control
A vehicle lighting assembly includes a solid state light emitter mounted on a first side of a substrate. A second side of the substrate is connected or adjacent to a heatsink. The heatsink may have a lower thermal conductivity than the second side of the substrate. A blower fluidly engages with the heatsink to flow fluid, e.g., air, through passages in the heatsink. The heatsink can include at least one aperture such that the moving fluid from the blower contacts at least a portion of the second side of the substrate.
