Multi-mode lights
A system may have lights. A light may include a first light source and a first reflector configured to provide lighting for a high-beam mode and for a low-beam mode. The light may include a second light source and a second reflector configured to provide lighting for a cornering light mode. The lighting provided by the first light source and the lighting provided by the second light source may pass through the same headlight lens aperture. A light blocking structure may provide a cutoff pattern that define the illumination pattern of the low-beam lighting and the cornering lighting. One or more additional light sources may be provided to boost the intensity of a hot spot for high-beam lighting.
Lighting device for a vehicle, combining two light sources
The lighting device for a vehicle has two light sources and a wavelength conversion device excited by the combination of the radiations from the two light sources. A first light source is associated with a scanning system projecting, by scanning, a first light radiation onto a first conversion region of the device, while a second light source with semiconductors emits a second light radiation into a second conversion region of the device. The second source, different from the first source and whose luminance level is typically less high, is provided with light-emitting units of submillimetric dimensions. The beams produced by the device respectively in the first region and in the second region have different characteristics and complement one another to produce one or more lighting functions.

OPTICAL UNIT
An optical unit includes a first light source having a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed in an array, a rotary reflector that rotates while reflecting light emitted from the first light source, and a controller that controls an on state of the plurality of light-emitting elements. The rotary reflector includes a reflective surface provided to form a light-distribution pattern by scanning light reflected by the rotating rotary reflector as a light source image, and the plurality of light-emitting elements include a first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element. The controller controls the on state of the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element such that an on duration T1 of the first light-emitting element becomes longer than an on duration T2 (T2>0) of the second light-emitting element.
OPTICAL UNIT
An optical unit includes a light source and a rotary reflector that rotates about an axis of rotation while reflecting light emitted from the light source. The rotary reflector is disposed such that the axis of rotation of the rotary reflector intersects a horizontal plane.
SINGLE-PIECE OPTICAL MOTOR-VEHICLE PART COMPRISING A STRUCTURAL MODIFICATION
A single-piece optical vehicle part comprising: a plurality of entrance dioptric interfaces and/or a plurality of exit dioptric interfaces; at least one junction between two adjacent entrance dioptric interfaces and/or at least one junction between two adjacent exit dioptric interfaces. The junction between two adjacent entrance dioptric interfaces and/or the junction between two adjacent exit dioptric interfaces has a structural modification allowing light to be absorbed and/or scattered.
MULTI FUNCTION LIGHTING DEVICE
The present disclosure relates to exterior lighting of an automotive vehicle. Specifically, the present disclosure describes a multi-function lighting assembly wherein a plurality of lighting functions can be provided from a single output surface.
