A vehicle lamp includes a lighting unit, a lens, an optical transparent member and a light directing unit. The lens is disposed in front of the lighting unit for radiating forwardly light rays received from the lighting unit. The optical transparent member protrudes sidewardly from one side of the lens. The light directing unit is disposed between the lighting unit and the optical transparent member for forwardly directing part of light rays emitted from the lighting unit to the optical transparent member. The optical transparent member radiates forwardly the light rays received from the light directing unit, whereby a light emitting area of the vehicle lamp is increased.

A headlight module includes: a light source for emitting light; a condensing optical element for concentrating the light; and an optical element including an incident surface for receiving the concentrated light, a reflecting surface for reflecting the received light, and an emitting surface for emitting the reflected light. The condensing optical element changes a divergence angle of the light to form a light distribution pattern. The reflected light and light that enters the optical element and is not reflected by the reflecting surface are superposed on a plane including a point located at a focal position of the emitting surface in a direction of an optical axis of the emitting surface and being perpendicular to the optical axis, thereby forming a high luminous intensity region in the light distribution pattern on the plane. The emitting surface has positive refractive power and projects the light distribution pattern formed on the plane.

A vehicle including a light projector, said light projector having a light source disposed to project light through a lens and a removeable imager; a controller coupled to the light projector and operable to receive a user control and direct the light projector to operate the light source; a user control, said user control coupled to the controller, and a rotation sensor coupled to the user control and operable to sense movement of a vehicle steering mechanism, said rotation sensor coupled to the controller, wherein the controller operates the light projector in response to the rotation sensor.

An active lighting device of a bicycle includes a first optical system with a first light source arrangement for long-distance illumination, which is controlled by a control unit, and a second optical system with a second light source arrangement for short-distance illumination, which is controlled by the control unit. A light sensor determines the light intensity of a location of the bicycle and allows the control unit to adapt the light intensity of the light sources, if they are activated and if the ambient light intensity is below a threshold. A speed sensor determines the speed of the bicycle, so that the control unit controls the activation of the light sources of the first light source arrangement from a speed threshold. An orientation or inclination detector selects and adjusts the light intensity of light sources.

A intelligent headlight system for a bicycle according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a bicycle body; a portable terminal which may be carried by a rider of the bicycle body and has a GPS module, for detecting the location information of the bicycle body, so as to measure the running speed on the basis of the location information of the bicycle body; and a headlight apparatus which is disposed on the bicycle body so as to cast light on the scene ahead of the bicycle body, is communicatably connected to the portable terminal so as to receive the running speed of the bicycle body, and is formed such that irradiation patterns may vary in accordance with the running speed of the bicycle body.

A headlight device for a saddled vehicle includes an LED light source and a mechanism which enlarges an illumination range upward in a turning direction at the time of turning traveling. The mechanism includes, at a position on an outer side, in the vehicle width direction, of a high-beam reflector that reflects forward emitted light from a high-beam, an outer reflection section that reflects the emitted light further upward than the direction of emission of the high-beam reflector. The outer reflection section is provided on at least one of left and right high-beam reflectors, and is configured to be covered by an extension serving as a decorative part, in front view of the vehicle body.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body frame, a front wheel, a handle, a pair of left and right first front lights, and a pair of left and right second front lights. The front wheel is supported by the vehicle body frame. The handle is located farther to the rear than a rotation axis of the front wheel, and is operated by an occupant to turn the front wheel. The pair of left and right first front lights extend linearly in the left-right direction, and are located farther to the rear than a front end of the front wheel and farther to the front than the handle. The pair of left and right second front lights are provided separately from the first front lights.

A bicycle frame including frame struts, an electric motor, one compartment for a power supply unit and multiple supply cables for a front light and a rear light which are fastened by a multiple-part adapter arrangement with a bicycle-side adapter part and a lighting device-side adapter part. The invention offers a new lighting concept for bikes with detachable front and rear lights by use of two adapter parts being each provided with one closure part of a multiple-part closure device, which closure parts are attachable and mechanically latchable together by means of a closing motion, wherein the closure parts each include at least one magnet element or magnet counter-element interacting in a magnetically attractive manner, when the first closure part is placed onto the second closure part, and wherein each adapter part includes non-contact or contacting coupling elements for energy transmission, which are electrically coupled in the closed position.

A lamp unit for illuminating a front through an outer lens includes a first light source disposed on a back side of the outer lens, a second light source disposed on the back side of the outer lens, a first light guide body configured to guide light from the first light source to the outer lens, and a second light guide body configured to guide light from the second light source to the outer lens. The second light guide body overlaps the first light guide body from a front side in a front view. The first light guide body protrudes outward from the second light guide body. A part of light from the first light guide body is transmitted through the second light guide body and guided to the outer lens.
