A lamp control system for vehicles includes a rail provided on a roof of a vehicle and configured to extend in a longitudinal direction, a lamp module slidably connected to the rail to slide in a direction of extension of the rail, and including lamps configured to emit light to an interior of the vehicle, a sensing unit configured to detect the number of passengers riding in the vehicle, positions of the passengers, or a position of cargo loaded in the vehicle, and a controller electrically connected to the lamp module and the sensing unit and configured to control operation of the lamp module based on the number and the positions of the passengers or the position of the loaded cargo, detected by the sensing unit.

Provided is an attachment structure for a lighting device, with which it is possible to reduce the time that attachment requires and stably attach a lighting device to a curved surface on which the lighting device is to be attached without using a screw member. This attachment structure for a lighting device is equipped with: a base provided on a curved surface of a door lining and having a plate-shaped base section; and an attachment part provided on the base and used for affixing the lighting device to the base section.

An illumination module (1) for illuminating a region of a vehicle component (8), which includes a main body (9). The illumination module (1) includes a light source support (2) having at least one light source (3, 3′) and a housing half shell (4), which is connectable to a wall region of the main body (9) of the vehicle component (8) such that a housing defined by the housing half shell (4) of the illumination module, on the one hand, and by the wall region of the main body (9) of the vehicle component (8), on the other hand, is formed. The light source support (2) has the at least one light source received in the housing, at least in regions, and the housing includes at least one light outlet region (5, 5′), via which light emitted by the at least one light source can be decoupled from the housing.

An illuminating device for a vehicle includes a carrier module, a flat light guide attached to the carrier module with a plurality of emitting points, and multiple light sources for illuminating the light guide. The flat light guide is concealed with a translucent haptic layer, which is attached to a visible side of the light guide, which, in turn, is covered by a decorative layer. The illuminating device comprises a rope-like light guide, which has an inherent light source and is connected to the decorative layer via a retaining device. This therefore results in a flat arrangement, which can be easily integrated into the interior parts and simultaneously enables illumination over a large surface area. In doing so, additional light effects can be integrated by means of the rope-like light guide. The illuminating device is not visible while switched off, as the illuminating device is covered by the decorative layer.

A mounting assembly includes a lighting device, a vehicular interior component, and a light guide member mounting member with which the light guide member is mounted on the vehicular interior component. The lighting device includes a light source and a long light guide member. The vehicular interior component includes a through hole and a receiving member that includes a stopper hole near the through hole. The light guide member mounting member includes a support portion and a fitting portion that extends from the support portion and is fitted to the stopper hole. The support portion includes a curved wall that has a space defined by the curved wall and receives and supports a portion of the light guide member in the space to be opposite the through hole such that the light exits the light guide member is supplied to a vehicular interior surface side of the vehicular interior component.

A vehicle interior lighting assembly includes a roof structure, a headliner and a light source. The roof structure has a lower surface portion located inboard of the outer periphery. The headliner is supported to the outer periphery of vehicle roof structure. The headliner has a central opening defined by an inner edge portion of the headliner. The opening exposes a portion of the roof structure. The inner edge portion of the headliner is spaced apart from the lower surface portion of the vehicle roof structure such that a gap is defined between the vehicle roof structure and inner edge portion of the headliner. The light source is installed to the lower surface portion of the vehicle roof structure such that when the light source is illuminated, light is emitted through the gap between the vehicle roof structure and inner edge portion of the headliner.
