The invention concerns a motor vehicle's optical system for interior lighting where the optical system includes a screen and multiple light sources disposed in series where the light sources are configured to project a screen light beam and the optical system includes a light box between the light sources and the screen and where the light box includes multiple cavities where each light source is associated with a light box cavity and where each light source is activated independently. The invention also concerns a motor vehicle's interior lighting device that includes this kind of optical system.

The disclosed invention is embodied in an improved LED-based lighting fixture for projecting a beam of light having a substantially uniform intensity, rotationally, and a selectable, substantially uniform chromaticity. The lighting fixture includes (1) a concave reflector having circumferential facets, a focal region, an aperture, and a central opening; and (2) a light source assembly including two or more groups of LEDs mounted at the forward end of an elongated, thermally conductive support. The light source assembly is mounted relative to the reflector with the elongated support's longitudinal axis aligned with the reflector's longitudinal axis and with the groups of LEDs located at or near the reflector's focal region. Each of the two or more groups of LEDs includes a plurality of LEDs arranged in a specific pattern such that they cooperate with the faceted concave reflector to project a beam of light having a selectable, substantially uniform chromaticity.

Each of the two or more groups of LEDs includes a plurality of LEDs arranged in two or more columns substantially parallel with the light source axis, with each column including only LEDs configured to emit light in a limited range of the visible spectrum and having the same distinct dominant wavelength, and with each group of LEDs including LEDs configured to emit light in two or more dominant wavelengths. The two or more groups of LEDs are configured to cooperate with the faceted concave reflector to project a beam of light having a selectable, substantially uniform chromaticity.

An LED lighting array for illuminating an area with the lighting array comprising a plurality of LED devices set in conical or elliptically conical reflectors, each of which is mounted upon a plate, each of which may be set at various angles to one other, and each of which is backed by a series of elements, first a copper support element, then an optional layer of graphite foam, followed by an aluminum plate, and then an arrangement of copper fins operably lined to a thermal mass mate. The copper support element includes support planes that are off-set relative to each adjacent plate and are in at least three different planes relative to each other. The backing plates may efficiently dissipate heat produced by the LEDs. The apparatus can be mounted upon a stand to illuminate an area such as a portion of a car park, building entrance or the like.

An illuminating device may include a light source, an optical unit configured to adjust direction of light from the light source, a reflector, a light pipe, and an exciter. The light pipe may receive light having a first wavelength from the optical unit and direct the light having the first wavelength onto the exciter. The exciter may convert the light having the first wavelength into light having the second wavelength and reflects the light having the second wavelength to the reflector. A circumferential wall of the light pipe is configured to reflect the light having the first wavelength and to transmit the light having the second wavelength.

A lighting lens for a biometric measurement device comprises a paraboloidal or ellipsoidal reflector with symmetry of revolution, and a dioptric surface that has two different refractive power values in two perpendicular directions, said two refractive power values being negative or zero. Such a lens can be produced in the form of a block of transparent material and be used in a biometric measurement device. In particular, it makes it possible to capture skin prints as an image with an exposure time that is short.
