The invention relates to a headlight for a vehicle, comprising a concave reflector and a lamp arranged within the reflector to reflect light from the lamp to create an illumination beam with a bright/dark boundary. The lamp comprises a transparent vessel including a longitudinal axis, at least a first and second filament arranged within the vessel. A baffle arranged proximate to the first filament, and comprising first and second upper side edges. The first filament is arranged above a plane including the upper side edges. A different plane is through the center of the first filament and is arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The upper side edges are arranged symmetrically to a baffle symmetry axis extending from the center of the first filament centrally between the upper side edges. The lamp is arranged within the reflector rotated around said longitudinal axis by a rotation angle of 2-20.

A lighting arrangement with an exchangeable lighting cap, includes a holder for the lighting cap and a lock lever to lock the lighting cap in position on the holder. The front face of the lighting caps has at least one light emitting element, for emitting light in a direction perpendicular to the front face. The edge of the front face has two positioning slots that are perpendicular to the direction of illumination. The holder comprises an opening for receiving the front face and has two positioning elements arranged at a rim of the opening, wherein the positioning elements can be inserted into the positioning slots of the lighting cap by elastic deformation to fix the position of the lighting cap on the holder. The lock lever has an open position for inserting the lighting cap into the holder and a locked position for locking the lighting cap in position.

A partially coated lamp capsule (212) for a projection headlamp (12) has filament (224) in capsule envelope (220) having light-transmissive coating (60) extending from capsule upper region (225) towards filament distal end (227) to an axial location in a region defined between about 0.098 inch (2.5 mm) above filament distal end (227) and about 0.098 inch below filament distal end (227), the capsule envelope (220) being uncoated on an undistorted portion of capsule envelope (220) below filament proximal end (229). Lamp capsule (212) is useful in projection headlamp (12) having a reflector (28) whose central heel (37) forms the hot spot and casts light through projector lens (30) to generate low and/or high beam patterns. Present lamp capsules (212) give increased photometric intensity over conventional lamps in low beam at critical driver's lane (0.6D, 1.3R) and (0.86D, V) test points, and in high beam at the critical (H,V) test point.

In an embodiment a lamp includes a light source having a light source circuit board and a light emitting element arranged on the light source circuit board, a driver configured to drive the light source and having a driving circuit board and a driving electronic element arranged on the driving circuit board, a connector connectable to a power source, wherein the driver is connected to the connector such as to be spatially separated from the light source and a heat sink inside which the light source and the connector are fixedly attached in such a manner that the light source and the driver are radially surrounded by the heat sink, wherein the connector includes a supporting column configured to support the driving circuit board and a retainer configured to hold the driving circuit board.

The present disclosure provides a light bulb for use in a lamp housing of a vehicle. The light bulb includes a bulb body assembly having one or more light sources fixedly attached thereto, and a mounting assembly configured to mount on the lamp housing. The bulb body assembly and the mounting assembly are connected by a rotatable joint such that positions of the one or more light sources can be adjusted after the mounting assembly is mounted on the lamp housing. In some embodiments, a key portion is attached to the bulb body assembly to rotate the bulb body assembly relative to the mounting assembly.

A universal type mounting structure for a car lamp bulb and a method for assembling the universal type mounting structure for a car lamp bulb with a bulb. The universal type mounting structure for a car lamp bulb is used for assembling the bulb by being cooperated with a bulb base and includes a contact piece, a reflecting mirror mounting part and a supporting seat, wherein the supporting seat is arranged in the reflecting mirror mounting part. According to the universal type mounting structure for a car lamp bulb, the assembly of arranged parts and the bulb is completed according to assembly procedures, so that high mounting convenience and dismounting convenience (single-hand mounting can be performed) are guaranteed.

According to one embodiment, a vehicle lighting device includes a mounting portion that has a recessed portion; a plurality of bayonets that are provided on an outside surface of the mounting portion; a substrate that is provided on a bottom surface of the recessed portion; and a light emitting element that is provided on a side of the substrate opposite to a bottom surface side of the recessed portion. In a case where the vehicle lighting device is viewed from a light emitting side, at least one corner portion of the substrate overlaps with one of the plurality of bayonets.

A light source unit for a vehicle headlight includes a circuit board on which four light emitting devices are disposed at each of four directions with respect to a center thereof, and a reflector provided on the circuit board so as to surround the four light emitting devices, wherein the circuit board includes four side areas in which the four light emitting devices are disposed, one center area disposed at a center of the four side areas and four corner areas disposed at corner sections next to the four side areas, and the reflector includes eight first reflective surfaces provided to divide spaces between each of the side areas and the corner areas, and four second reflective surfaces provided to divide sides of each of side areas opposite to the center area.
