A vehicle interior lighting device according to an embodiment includes a housing, a cover provided on one end portion side of the housing, a light-emitting section provided on the inside of the housing, and a detecting section provided on the inside of the housing and configured to detect, via the cover, a change in energy involved in a motion of an operator and convert the detected change in the energy into an electric signal.

The invention relates to a device for generating light, in particular for a vehicle passenger compartment ceiling lamp (100), comprising: a separating tube (7) made of a material that is opaque to the radiation used, which is intended to be placed in an aperture (101) forming an exit for the illuminating light, is tubular along an axis orthogonal to the aperture and is of “c”-shaped radial cross section, forming an axial window (71), a bounding light guide (53) encircling the separating tube (7) having an annular exit dioptric interface (55), a base (57) in the axial extension of the exit dioptric interface, axial extensions (59), extending axially at least in segments the base (57), comprising entrance dioptric interfaces (61), which are placed facing bounding light sources (51), an illuminating light guide (33), which is located axially facing the illuminating light source (31) of the separating tube and axially removed from the aperture (101) comprising an entrance dioptric interface (35), which is placed facing an illuminating light source (31), a total reflection surface (39), from which light entering via the entrance dioptric interface (35) is reflected at a predefined angle of inclination with respect to the normal to the entrance dioptric interface (35), and an exit dioptric interface (37), via which the light reflected from the total reflection surface (39) is emitted in the direction of the aperture (101).

In one aspect, an armrest lighting control device of a vehicle according to the present disclosure comprises a switch controller configured to produce a lighting color change effect or produce a fade-in/fade-out effect or an effect of turning off lighting by outputting a lighting-off signal from a lighting turning-off position of a switch lighting unit on the basis of a sensor signal from an acceleration sensor made by detecting a change in upward/downward armrest change angle of an armrest having the switch lighting unit directed toward a rear seat.

A stop lamp and cargo lamp system comprises a circuit board; a stop lamp mounted on the circuit board; a first cargo lamp assembly including a first cargo lamp mounted on the circuit board and a first directional tube coupled to the first cargo lamp and formed a first downward angle with a surface of the circuit board; and a second cargo lamp assembly including a second cargo lamp mounted on the circuit board and a second directional tube coupled to the second cargo lamp and form a second downward angle with the surface of the circuit board, wherein the second downward angle is different from the first downward angle.

An exemplary lamp assembly includes a lens, a base, and a textured surface between an outwardly facing surface of the lens and an outwardly facing surface of the base. An exemplary lamp molding method includes injecting a first material into a mold cavity to form a lens, and injecting a second material against a textured surface of the lens within the mold cavity to form a base.
