A vehicle lighting fixture and system where the fixture includes light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a lens. A controller monitors vehicle conditions and sends lighting commands to activate one or more LEDs based on the vehicle conditions. The LEDs can be red-green-blue (RGB) LEDs capable of emitting various different colors. The lighting commands can include illumination color, intensity level and on/off. The LEDs can be arranged in groups, where each group is separated from the other groups. The lighting commands can include a blink/steady designation, where blink causes the group to blink in the illumination color, and steady causes the group to steadily light in the illumination color. A blink frequency can control the blink rate in the illumination color. The lighting commands can include an intensity level; where when a group is activated it is illuminated in the illumination color at the intensity level.

Provided is a vehicle signal light in which a person with protanopia (p-type color vision deficiency) can perceive whether or not the vehicle signal light, e.g., a stop lamp, a tail lamp, or the like, is turned on. The vehicle signal light includes a first light source configured to emit red light and a second light source configured to emit amber light. The first light source and the second light source are simultaneously turned on and are configured to emit light with a higher luminous intensity in response to a braking operation, and the emission intensity of the first light source is higher than that of the second light source.

A method and a system can include receiving travel direction information representing a planned driving maneuver of the motor vehicle, detecting at least one road user in a path region of the planned driving maneuver based on an evaluation of at least the travel direction information, determining a lamp operation data set for operating at least one lamp of the motor vehicle based on the evaluation of at least the travel direction information when a road user is detected in the path region, and operating the lamp in accordance with the lamp operation data set.

Lighting device for a motor vehicle with a first plurality of selectively activatable light sources and a second plurality of light sources. The first and second pluralities of light sources being arranged on a common substrate and each light source of the first plurality being positioned at a distance from the other light sources of the first plurality of less than 1 mm. The lighting device includes an optical element having a first region positioned facing the first plurality of light sources and a second region positioned facing the second plurality of light sources, with the second region being provided with optical patterns.

A lamp for a vehicle or other object that includes multiple functions. In one aspect, the lamp includes a first circuit for emitting a first color light (such as red light), and at least a second circuit for emitting a second color of light (such as amber light). In another aspect, the lamp optionally includes a microcontroller that may be programmed to control the activation of the different colored lamp circuits based on lamp location information, and based on an operating mode.

A second light source, a second incidence section and a second reflecting section in a vehicle lamp are disposed closer to a light guide section than a first light source, a first incidence section and a first reflecting section, a stepped section is provided between the first reflecting section and the second reflecting section, and the first reflecting section is disposed at above the stepped section and the second reflecting section is disposed at below the stepped section when seen from a side of the first incidence section and a side of the second incidence section.

Design of identification and visual protection system for mining equipment, vehicles and people exposed to possible high potential interactions, this system is the combination of different lighting techniques, which together offer a new product with the advantages of delivering a Greater capacity to be visualized in the field, preventing identification and warning problems in mining equipment.

Its form and use can help reduce the risks and exposure of equipment, vehicles and people where they can be implemented. Considerably increasing the identification distance, even without any external light emission.

Multiple light sources are arranged in an array. A light guide member receives light emitted from the multiple light sources on its back face, and outputs the light thus received from its front face. The light guide member has a base portion such that its back face faces the multiple light sources and such that it extends in the array direction of the multiple light sources. Multiple back-face protrusions and multiple front-face protrusions are formed such that they protrude from the back face and the front face of the base portion. The front-face protrusion has multiple continuous faces in the circumferential direction along the front face of the base portion.

A display device of a vehicle includes: a display provided inside of the vehicle; an interior lighting device lighting up an inside surface of a passenger compartment of the vehicle at an outside of the display; and a control device controlling the display and the interior lighting device. The control device is configured so that when a condition for moving display stands, the display is made to show a moving display element moving toward an outer circumference of the display, and so that when the moving display element reaches the outer circumference of the display, the interior lighting device lights up an inside surface of a passenger compartment of the vehicle so that a light part lit by the interior lighting device appears to move successively from the moving display element.

A reflector unit may behave as a retroreflector to reflect light of a selected color. The reflector unit may comprise a first reflector having a first color, a second reflector having a second color, and a mask that either allows incoming light to reach the first reflector and not the second reflector or allows incoming light to reach the second reflector and not the first reflector. An active light unit may emit light of a particular color in response to receiving light. In this fashion, the active light unit may simulate the operation of a reflector. The reflector unit and the active light unit may operate on a bi-directional vehicle.
