Automotive Solid-State Retrofit Headlamp
In an embodiment an automotive solid-state headlamp includes a lamp body extending in a longitudinal direction, the lamp body having a rear base portion and a front portion and including a support member disposed in a light-transmissive housing, a plurality of solid-state light sources arranged on the support member at the rear base portion of the lamp body, and a drive circuitry electrically coupled to the light sources and arranged at the rear base portion of the lamp body and configured to operate the plurality of light sources when energized, wherein the plurality of light sources, when energized, are configured to cause the solid-state lamp to emit, through the light-transmissive housing (a) a luminous flux of at least 1500 lumens +/−10% when energized with a 13.2 Volt test voltage, or of at least 1750 lumens +/−10% when energized with a 28 Volt test voltage, or (b) a luminous flux of at least 1350 lumens +/−10% when energized with a 13.2 Volt test voltage, or of at least 1600 lumens +/−10% when energized with a 28 Volt test voltage.
VEHICLE LIGHT GUIDE BODY AND VEHICLE LIGHTING UNIT
A vehicle light guide body includes an incident surface that light from the light source enters, a first reflective surface that internally reflects the light that has entered from the incident surface to form nearly parallel light, a second reflective surface that internally reflects the light from the first reflective surface, a third reflective surface provided in a position located in front of the second reflective surface in a front-rear direction and in a portion in at least one of end faces in a left-right direction, a light shielding part that shields a part of the light reflected by the second reflective surface, and a light emitting surface that emits the light that has been internally reflected by the second reflective surface and has passed through the light shielding part to illuminate a headlight pattern in front of a vehicle.

Vehicle perimeter lighting assembly and lighting method
A vehicle perimeter lighting assembly includes, among other things, a base having a concave area and a support ledge, a light source supported on the support ledge such that light from the light source is emitted toward the concave area, and a reflector lining the concave area. The reflector is configured to redirect light emitted from the light source toward an area around a vehicle.

LIGHT MODULE FOR VEHICLE
A light module for a vehicle may include a light source generating light, a variable mirror generating an image depending on the light by reflecting the light generated by the light source, and an optical receiving the light reflected by the variable mirror, the optical having a continuously curved shape in a left-and-right direction for light introduced into a center of the optical to be condensed and moved and light introduced into a side of the optical to be diffused and moved.
VEHICLE LAMP
A lamp for a vehicle includes a first light source unit including a plurality of first light sources and for irradiating a first light that forms a first beam pattern, a second light source unit including a plurality of second light sources and for irradiating a second light that forms a second beam pattern, a first reflector including a plurality of first reflection units corresponding to the plurality of first light sources and for reflecting the first light, and a second reflector including a plurality of second reflection units corresponding to the plurality of second light sources and for reflecting the second light. In particular, the plurality of first light sources are disposed along an arc having a first curvature, and the plurality of second light sources are disposed along an arc having a second curvature, the second curvature is greater than the first curvature.
Vehicle lamp
Disclosed is a vehicle lamp including a projection lens, and a light source located behind the projection lens so that light emitted from the light source is irradiated forward through the projection lens. The projection lens includes an upright wall surface formed on a peripheral edge thereof, in which the upright wall surface has a greater longitudinal inclination angle than a front surface of the projection lens. A light control member is located behind the projection lens, in which the light control member is configured to suppress light incident on the projection lens from the light source, from being internally reflected by the upright wall surface.
Method and a device for the reduction of margins of the light image of a headlight and the headlight
A method and a device for the reduction of margins of the light image of a headline, and the headline incorporating the device, is provided, having a reflective diaphragm which is adapted to be shifted in a light axis direction within adjustment limits of a longitudinal position. The margins of the light image can be detected by an optical colour-sensitive photometric sensor, and colour characteristics of the light image margins can be evaluated by identifying a current position of the reflective diaphragm. The reflective diaphragm can then be fixed in the longitudinal position corresponding to selected colour characteristics of the light image margins. The reflective diaphragm can also be adapted to be shifted in a direction perpendicular to the light axis direction.
Apparatus of projector headlights
This invention is a projector headlight that, while offering dual beam patterns, boasts a 100% utilization of the light emitted from a light source by one of the following methods: (1) employing a reflective cutoff shield means to reflect the incoming light from said light source back to the reflector to enhance the illumination in low-beam pattern, (2) using reversible cutoff shield means to reflect the incoming light from said light source back to the reflector to enhance the illumination in low-beam pattern with no moving part involved, (3) utilizing a selective light-filter cutoff means to selectively reflect the incoming light from said light source back to the reflector to enhance the illumination in low-beam pattern without making use of any moving part, (4) using a low-beam light-emitting subassembly and a high-beam light-emitting subassembly that are separated by partition means to achieve dual beam patterns with no moving part, or (5) adopting a low-beam light-emitting subassembly in low-beam pattern and a high-beam light-emitting subassembly in high-beam pattern without any moving part.
