A headlight for vehicles, with a light source, a reflector arrangement containing at least one reflector module, a first reflector, which has a reflector surface having a first focal point and a second focal point, the light source being arranged at the first focal point, and a second reflector, which has a reflector surface having a focal point that coincides with the second focal point of the first reflector. The first reflector is arranged in front of the light source in the main radiation direction, the reflector surface of the first reflector being curved, with a first opening portion arranged counter to the main radiation direction and with a second opening portion arranged in a manner offset by 90° in relation to the first opening portion and facing towards the second reflector. The reflector surface of the second reflector has free-form parts such that light striking the reflector surface of the second reflector is reflected in such a way that a light distribution having a predetermined light/dark boundary is produced.

A multiple light high intensity discharge (“HID”) array designed for retrofit aviation application. The present invention provide better light beams, reduces the energy needed to power landing/taxiing lights, and allows for customization of the beam through the depth of the HID bulb.

A headlight control device provided in a vehicle to perform headlight control and to control a distribution of light irradiated from a light source is provided. The headlight control device includes: a determination unit that determines a presence and an absence of an obstacle in front of the vehicle and determines a position of the obstacle; a setting unit that sets up an area covering the obstacle as an intensified illumination area when the determination unit determines the presence of the obstacle, wherein the intensified illumination area is an area to which the light from the light source is irradiated in a manner different than a peripheral area of the intensified illumination area; and a controller that controls the distribution of the light irradiated from the light source so that the intensified illumination area set up by the setting unit has an illuminated zone and a non-illuminated zone.

Lighting module for an automobile, comprising a reflector having at least two surface portions, at least one of the surface portions being movable, and at least two light sources, each light source being associated with one of the surface portions in order to generate a primary light beam by reflection of the light output from said source. The lighting module is configured for a surface portion to be movable and to have a movement which causes a variation in the coverage between the light beams generated by the lighting module.

In a vehicle lamp in which a plurality of lamp units is arranged side by side in a direction intersecting with a lamp longitudinal direction, a central luminous intensity of a light distribution pattern is increased while securing a sufficient irradiation light quantity. A first additional reflector 34A configured to reflect the light from a second light emitting element 22B toward the front is disposed in the vicinity of a front end edge 24A1 of a first reflector 24A.

Provided is a vehicle headlight device capable of forming a light distribution pattern efficiently with a simple structure. A vehicle headlight device (1) includes: a light-emitting face of a light source (5) constructed by arranging at least one light-emitting element; a condenser lens (7) which collects light emitted from the light-emitting face; a digital mirror (8) which reflects light entering from the condenser lens (7) by using each mirror element; a projection lens (9) which projects a light distribution pattern of light reflected by the digital mirror (8) to an irradiated area S ahead of a vehicle; and a control unit (3) which controls inclined states of plural mirror elements to change an illumination distribution of the light distribution pattern. The light-emitting face of the light source (5) and the collection mirror (8) are similar in shape to each other.

A vehicle headlamp comprising at least one light-emitting diode is proposed, wherein said at least one light-emitting diode is configured to operate as a detector of a light source.

An optical unit includes: a light source; a first reflector that reflects emitted light emitted from the light source, at a first reflection region of which the reflecting direction is periodically changed; and a second reflector that further reflects first reflected light reflected by the first reflector, at a second reflection region of which the reflecting direction is periodically changed. The first reflector is configured such that the second reflection region is scanned with the first reflected light. In the second reflector, the second reflection region is formed such as to reflect the first reflected light to provide second reflected light with which scanning is performed to produce a light distribution pattern.
