Vehicular exterior mirror system with light module
A vehicular lighted exterior rearview mirror system includes a lighted exterior rearview mirror assembly and a light module disposed thereat. The light module includes at least three forward illuminating illumination sources that, with the lighted exterior rearview mirror assembly attached at the side of the vehicle, are arranged spaced apart at the lighted exterior rearview mirror assembly. With the lighted exterior rearview mirror assembly attached at the side of the equipped vehicle, the at least three forward illuminating illumination sources, when powered, emit light at least in a forward direction with respect to the vehicle. The light module includes a turn signal indicating illumination source and a light piping element. The light piping element guides light emitted by the turn signal indicating illumination source along the light piping element so as to emanate from the light module at an outboard portion of the mirror casing.
Single Point Alignment for LED Prescription Optics
A vehicle lamp includes a substrate, a lens having a pivotal attachment to the substrate and defining a lamp chamber between the lens and the substrate, at least one light source provided in the lamp chamber, an alignment portion integral with and extending from the lens parallel to the substrate and having an aperture, and an adjustment mechanism extending through the aperture and the substrate, the adjustment mechanism configured to adjust alignment of the lens with a single-point adjustment.
VEHICULAR EXTERIOR MIRROR SYSTEM WITH LIGHT MODULE
A vehicular lighted exterior rearview mirror system includes a lighted exterior rearview mirror assembly and a light module. With the mirror assembly attached at a side of a vehicle, the light module is at least in part disposed at a portion of the mirror head of the lighted exterior rearview mirror assembly that faces in a direction of forward travel of the vehicle. The light module includes a two dimensional array of illumination sources that has at least two rows of illumination sources, each row of illumination sources having a plurality of illumination sources. With the mirror assembly attached at the vehicle, the two dimensional array of illumination sources, when electrically powered, emits light at least in the direction of forward travel of the vehicle. The illumination sources of the two dimensional array of illumination sources are controlled responsive to a turn signal of the vehicle being actuated.
PARTIALLY ALUMINIZED LENS FOR AUTOMOTIVE LAMP
A partially aluminized lens for an automotive lamp which is set in front of the automotive lamp light source and comprised of a light-incident surface and a light-emitting surface forming the main light shape, and the reflection surface forming the auxiliary light shape. The aforesaid light-incident surface and the light-emitting surface forming the main light shape is completed by a plano-convex lens. The aforesaid reflection surface forming the auxiliary light shape is completed by a reflection frame integrated and provided with the plano-convex lens, and the aforesaid reflection frame is formed by partial aluminization.
Indicator unit for a system for indirect vision of a vehicle and system for indirect vision comprising an indicator unit
An indicator unit for a system for indirect vision of a vehicle. A unit has a functional unit housing having at least one electronic carrier accommodated therein. The at least one electronic carrier has at least one first electric or electronic functional component for providing the function of a direction indicator, and a second electric or electronic functional component.
Headlight for deicing
A headlight is disclosed, comprising a headlight body, a temperature sensor, an IR module, a low beam module, and a controller. The headlight body has a housing and a lampshade. The lampshade has a light-absorbing and heating layer. The temperature sensor is configured inside the headlight body, to detect the temperature of the lamp. The IR module is a wide-angle LED lamp, positioned inside the headlight body, and It directly irradiates toward the lampshade. The low beam module is configured inside the headlight body, emitting toward the lampshade, and an emitting direction of the low beam module crosses an irradiating direction of the IR module. The controller is electrically connected to the IR module and the temperature sensor, and turns on/off the IR module based on the temperature of the lamp.
Light source unit and vehicle front lamp using the light source unit
A light source unit including: a first light source module; a second light source module; and a light source arrangement portion between the first light source module and the second light source module. The first light source module and the second light source module are staggered in at least one of a front-and-back direction and a left-and-right direction.
FORWARD COOLING HEADLIGHT
There is disclosed a forward cooling headlight comprising a body, a lens coupled to the body and a heatsink coupled to the body. There is also a heatpipe and at least one light. The light is coupled to the heatsink, wherein the heatpipe is coupled to the heatsink at a first end, and to the body at a second end. The heatsink draws heat away from the light, via the heatpipe and towards the body. There can be at least one synthetic jet coupled to the heatpipe to aid in cooling the light. In addition, in at least one embodiment, there can be at least two lights with at least two different drivers with a first driver driving a first light and a second driver driving a second light wherein when each of the lights is lit it is capable of generating a different focal point.
LIGHTING DEVICE
A substrate supports a light source and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to be able to control lighting and lights-out of the light source. The substrate is supported to a conductive housing. The housing is configured to couple with a transparent cover through which light emitted from the light source is to pass. The housing has a through-hole. A connector unit has a connection part and a terminal holding part. The connection part is arranged outside the housing. At least a part of the insulating terminal holding part is arranged in the through hole. The terminal holding part holds a conductive terminal. The conductive terminal is coupled to the substrate and electrically connected to the control circuit.
LED FOG LAMP
An LED fog lamp includes a lamp seat and a light-emitting unit. The lamp seat includes a main housing defining a light cavity with a rear opening, and a lampshade mounted to and covering a front side of the main housing. The light-emitting unit includes a heat-dissipating seat having a mounting portion extending into the light cavity via the rear opening, and a light-emitting module mounted on the mounting portion. A light guide unit is mounted inside the light cavity. A positioning mechanism includes a first aligning member disposed on the main housing, a second aligning member disposed on the heat-dissipating seat, and a positioning member detachably interconnecting the first and second aligning members.
