A glass panel assembly for use in a roof of a vehicle, comprises a glass panel, a frame and an elongate lighting device. The glass panel comprises an interior main surface and the interior main surface of the glass panel is configured to be directed to a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The frame is adhered to the interior main surface and comprises a shaped element. The shaped element is one of a recess and a protrusion. The elongate lighting device is coupled to the frame by a mating shape engaging the shaped element. The lighting device is configured to directly illuminate at least a part of said passenger compartment.

An apparatus and system are disclosed and include a vehicle interior lighting system comprising that includes a light engine with a plurality of independently addressable light emitting diode (LED) segments, each independently addressable LED segment including at least one LED, a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) having a base and plurality of legs extending from the base, each leg supporting an independently addressable LED segment, and a light guide plate configured to provide illumination from the plurality of independently addressable LED segments inside the vehicle. A processor may be configured to receive information from a o vehicle sensing system, a vehicle communication system, or a detection system, and may generate a signal. A controller may be configured to provide one or more light control signals to modify at least one light characteristic of at least one of the plurality of independently addressable LED segments based on the signal.

Lighting device, in particular for automotive applications, comprising a plurality of lighting elements, wherein each lighting element comprises at least one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs). The lighting device comprises a first connector for connecting the lighting device to a lighting driver. The lighting elements are arranged in a row in order to form a luminous band. The plurality of lighting elements is divided into more than one group, each group consisting of at least one or more lighting elements. The lighting elements of one group are electrically connected in series. The groups are electrically connected in parallel in order to control each group individually.

An armrest assembly for a passenger vehicle, such as an aircraft, that includes a light source, a seat assembly that includes the armrest assembly, and related method(s) of manufacturing or servicing. In general, the armrest assembly includes a light source that is supported by an articulating support such that it can be positioned in a variety of locations. The articulating support is pivotally mounted to an armrest in a forward portion of a side notch that extends along the lateral edge of the armrest. The armrest assembly is configured such that the light source is disposed in the side notch and oriented to direct light from the side notch away from the armrest when the light assembly is in a stowed configuration. The articulating support may be moved so that the light source is disposed out of the side notch, so as to provide a reading light.
