A light distribution control device can perform diffused light distribution control designed to widen an irradiation range of a headlamp of an own vehicle. The light distribution control device is equipped with a recognition unit that recognizes a situation around the own vehicle, and a control unit that performs diffused light distribution control when a curve section in front of the own vehicle in a traveling direction thereof is detected, from a result of recognition by the recognition unit. The control unit controls the headlamp such that a non-required irradiation region where irradiation with light is not required is restrained from being irradiated with light and that a region other than the non-required irradiation region is irradiated with more light, when the non-required irradiation region is detected in the irradiation range of the headlamp in performing diffused light distribution control, from the result of recognition.

A vehicle lamp, a vehicle, and a vehicle lamp illumination module. The vehicle lamp illumination module comprises light sources, a low-beam primary optical element, a high-beam primary optical element, and a secondary optical element. The low-beam primary optical element can guide light to be sequentially emitted via the low-beam primary optical element and the secondary optical element to form a low-beam shape. The high-beam primary optical element comprises multiple collimation units, wherein the surfaces of light emitting ends of the collimation units are connected together or integrally formed to form a high-beam light emitting surface. Light incident ends of the collimation units have one-to-one correspondence to the light sources, so that the light can be sequentially emitted via the high-beam primary optical element and the secondary optical element to form a lightless shape. The module has accurate light shape control, is precise in assembly, and high in light energy utilization.

An illumination device includes a first light source that emits first light having a first peak wavelength which is highest in intensity in a wavelength range from near-ultraviolet to green in an emission spectrum; a second light source that emits second light having a second peak wavelength which is highest in intensity in a wavelength range from near-ultraviolet to green in an emission spectrum, the second light illuminating a position identical to a position illuminated by the first light; and a detection device that detects whether an object is present at a given position, wherein the second peak wavelength is shorter than the first peak wavelength, and a luminous flux of the first light is decreased and a luminous flux of the second light is increased when the detection device detects that the object is present at the predetermined position.

A headlamp control system includes: a headlamp that emits light toward a forward direction of a vehicle; a tilt detection part; and a control part.

A motor vehicle headlamp that includes a housing in which at least one main light source is arranged. Detachably attached to an external lens of the motor vehicle headlamp is at least one front housing, which has a light-guiding element and lamps for coupling light rays into the light-guiding element. The light rays are coupled out of the light-guiding element through an output structure. Further additional lamps that can give off light rays are arranged side by side in front of the external lens. The light rays given off by the lamps pass through the external lens and the front housing in the direction of an outside environment.
