A light source device with a safety mechanism includes a wavelength converting device and a laser light source configured to provide a laser beam. The wavelength converting device includes a substrate facing toward the laser light source, an optical converting layer disposed on the substrate, and a safety examination layer disposed on one side of the optical converting layer. After the laser beam passes through the safety examination layer, the laser beam enters the optical converting layer. The safety examination layer includes a first conductive film arranged along a first direction and a second conductive film arranged along a second direction. The first conductive film and the second conductive film intersect each other.

An automotive lighting apparatus is provided that includes a rear body which is adapted to be fixed to the outside or to the inside of the vehicle; a front half-shell arranged to close the mouth of said rear body; and at least one lighting assembly which is located inside the rear body and is adapted to backlight, on command, a corresponding transparent or semi-transparent sector of the front half-shell; the lighting assembly including a radially emitting optical fibre of given length; an electrically-powered, collimated light source which is located in front of a proximal end of the optical fibre, and is adapted to direct, towards the same proximal end, a collimated light beam that enters and travels inside the optical fibre; at least one proximal photometric sensor which is arranged beside the collimated light source and/or the proximal end of the optical fibre so as to capture/detect the light reflected/scattered on entering into the optical fibre; at least one distal photometric sensor which is located in front of the distal end of the optical fibre, and is adapted to capture/detect the light exiting from the distal end of the optical fibre; and an electronic control unit which is adapted to command the collimated light source on the basis of the signals coming from said proximal and distal photometric sensors.

A vehicle infrared lamp system mounted on a vehicle equipped with an infrared camera includes: an infrared light source; a rotating reflector; an other-vehicle position acquisition unit configured to acquire position information of another vehicle; and a control unit configured to control a lighting state of the infrared light source based on the position information of the other vehicle acquired by the other-vehicle position acquisition unit such that a dimming region where radiant intensity of infrared light is lower than radiant intensity of any other region is formed on at least a part of the other vehicle.

In an illumination device, an incidence angle of a laser beam, which is scanned by a laser beam scanning mechanism, with respect to a wavelength conversion member is set to an angle where the laser beam does not directly enter a projection lens when the wavelength conversion member is damaged, chipped or fallen off, and a laser light source and the laser beam scanning mechanism are located at a position corresponding to at least one of an upper side and a lower side of a light distribution pattern with respect to the wavelength conversion member, and are disposed to be deviated to either one of one side corresponding to a left side of the light distribution pattern and other side corresponding to a right side of the light distribution pattern.
