The present invention relates to a lighting device, in particular a headlamp for vehicles, at least comprising an array of light sources, consisting of first and second light sources being mounted within the same flat or curved plane, and a projecting optical system arranged to project light emitted by the light sources in a forward direction of the lighting device. At least one shifting element is arranged in front of said first light sources. The shifting element generates real or virtual emission positions of the light of said first light sources shifted towards or away from the projecting optical system with respect to emission positions of said second light sources. With the proposed lighting device, in addition to the main lighting function of illumination, a pattern or signature can be projected at one or several additional image planes. The lighting device thus e.g. allows the additional projection of branding or safety patterns.

A lighting engine, system and method of fabrication are described. The system contains a flexible printed circuit (FPC) shaped as a loop. LEDs are mounted on the FPC to emit light toward a center of the loop. A light guide positioned in an interior of the loop receives light emitted by the LEDs through an edge of the light guide. The light guide has slots formed therein that receive locator pins to limit thermal displacement of the light guide towards the LEDs. Other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
