A light emitting diode (LED) running light comprises a current sink and a plurality of series coupled LED block cells; each of the plurality of LED block cells comprising a LED and a bypass circuit to the current sink, wherein each series coupled LED sequentially turns on (lights) when a voltage source increases by additive voltage increments of at least the turn-on voltage of each LED in the series coupled string until all LEDs are on (lit). The current sink maintains a desired current value through the LEDs and may also be used to provide waveforms for diagnostic and timing purposes.

A rear combination lamp installed on a vehicle comprises: a first rear lamp module installed on a later part of the rear side of the vehicle; and a second rear lamp module installed on a back door located at the rear side of the vehicle to be arranged adjacent to the first rear lamp module. The first rear lamp module includes a main light source and a sub-light source. The main light source generates light output from the first rear lamp module, and the sub-light source generates light provided to the second rear lamp module. The second rear lamp module includes a light reception unit and a light direction changing unit. The light reception unit receives light from the sub-light source. The light direction changing unit changes a progressing direction of light received in the light reception unit to output light to the outside.

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.

A motor vehicle includes a high-mounted brake light which is arranged on a rear part of the motor vehicle, and an energy source for making available energy for the motor vehicle. A charging plate is connected to the energy source, and the charging plate is arranged in a rear portion of the motor vehicle. The rear part is a wing of a spoiler, and a receiver coil is arranged in the rear part. The receiver coil can be coupled in a wireless fashion to the charging plate for contactless transfer of energy between the brake light and the energy source.

The present disclosure pertains to a vehicle warning light system for a vehicle having factory or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) lights. The system provides for inputs and outputs corresponding to the factory lights of the vehicle. The flasher system is configured such that the flasher system operates independently of the vehicle wherein that factory lights are independently controlled by the factory controls.

A vehicle assembly includes, among other things, a lighting assembly moveable back and forth between an attached position and a detached position. The lighting assembly spans from a first rail assembly of a vehicle to a second rail assembly of the vehicle when the lighting assembly is in the attached position. A vehicle lighting method includes, when a lighting assembly is in an attached position, engaging a first end portion of the lighting assembly with a first rail assembly of a vehicle, and when the lighting assembly is in the attached position, engaging an opposite, second end portion of the lighting assembly with a second rail assembly of the vehicle. The lighting assembly is configured to illuminate an area adjacent a vehicle when the lighting assembly is in the attached position.

Provided is an electrical communication link between a tractor and a trailer, the trailer comprising one or more auxiliary electrical devices, the electrical communication link including a first transceiver coupled to the tractor and configured to receive a first signal from the tractor and to wirelessly transmit a control signal corresponding to the first signal, a second transceiver coupled to the trailer and configured to wirelessly receive the control signal and to transmit a second signal corresponding to the control signal to the one or more auxiliary devices.

An electrical contact, a 3D LED and a method of manufacturing 3D LEDs are described. The electrical contact includes a printed circuit board (PCB) bridge and a PCB connector. The PCB bridge comprises at least one electrical contact. The at least one electrical contact is configured for electrical coupling with at least one interposer of a string of LEDs. The PCB connector is electrically coupled to the PCB bridge. The PCB connector comprises an electrical contact configured for electrical coupling with at least one external electrical wire.

A vehicle comprises first and second operation units operated to perform switching between an electric power supply state and an electric power cut-off state of respective first and second electric components and a retaining device which starts electric power supply to the second electric component in response to the operation of the first and operation units to form the first and second electric power supply states, and retains the electric power supply to the second electric component, until the second operation unit is operated to form the second electric power cut-off state, despite a rider's operation of the first operation unit to form the first electric power cut-off state, after the retaining device started the electric power supply to the second electric component.

The present disclosure relates an integrated module including a camera and a lamp, and may include a camera that acquires an image of a periphery of a vehicle and provide the image, at least one first lamp and at least one second lamp disposed at at least one location of an upper side and a lower side of the camera in a direction of a transverse axis of the camera, and a lamp controller that provides electrical energy for the first lamp to the first lamp and provides electrical energy for the second lamp to the second lamp according to daytime/nighttime determination information based on the image.
