Lighting device for vehicles
A lighting device for vehicles includes a light source unit containing numerous light sources, and includes a hologram unit containing numerous hologram segments for generating a predefined light distribution. The hologram segments form reflection hologram segments behind and/or next to the light source unit in the main beam direction (H) of the lighting device, such that light emitted from the light source strikes the reflection hologram segment at an acute angle ). Holographic diffraction information is stored in the reflection hologram segments for generating a signal light distribution. The light source unit contains just one printed circuit board or one printed circuit board substrate.
Vehicle projection device, control method therefor, and vehicle lamp
A lighting timing or lighting mode of a projection unit requires improvement in relation to lighting of a turn lamp. A vehicle lamp includes: a projection unit that includes a light source and projects a predetermined image onto a road surface based on lighting of the light source; and a lighting control unit that controls the light source. The lighting control unit controls the light source such that a required time period from a first time point at which the light source starts lighting in response to an input of a turn signal or a hazard signal to a second time point at which the light source reaches a target light intensity ends later than a third time point at which a turn lamp or a hazard lamp is lit at a target light intensity thereof in response to the input of the turn signal or the hazard signal.
BICYCLE STEERING PROMPT SYSTEM
A bicycle steering prompt system includes a direction light set, a prompt light set and a controller. The prompt light set includes at least two projection lights, and each of the at least two projection lights projecting at least one image upon being activated. The controller is formed a control relationship with the direction light set and the prompt light set, and the controller triggers the prompt light set when triggering the direction light to give a direction prompt, so that one of the at least two projection lights is activated at a side same as the direction light set is triggered. When in implementation of the invention, each of the at least two projection lights projects at least one image on a ground around a rider to give a prompt of a traveling direction where the rider is about to go to people surrounding the rider.

Lighting device for a motor vehicle
A lighting device for a motor vehicle includes a lighting component having one or more light sources and one or more transparent facet bodies, each of which bodies has a surface consisting of a plurality of planar first facets. Light originating from the one or more light sources is radiated into the one or more transparent facet bodies as first luminous radiation. The first luminous radiation is at least partially refracted on first facets of the one or more transparent facet bodies and subsequently exits the lighting device as second luminous radiation in order to produce light distribution. One or more translucent optical components are located in the lighting device between the lighting component and the one or more transparent facet bodies.
Side turn indicator integrated with a fender of a vehicle
Vehicle fenders for vehicles include a side turn indicator. A vehicle fender may include a recess portion, and the side turn indicator, including a light source, may be disposed in the recessed portion. The vehicle fender may hide, or otherwise obscure, the light source when the side turn indicator in an inactive mode (e.g., not illuminated). However, when the light source is in an active mode (e.g., the side turn indicator is illuminated), light from the light source is visible through any structure of the side turn indicator and the side turn indicator is visible to present an indication to which the vehicle may turn. Further, the side turn indicator, when illuminated, is generally no longer hidden/obscured by the vehicle fender.
Vehicle lamp
A light guide body has a first light guide part disposed in front of a light source, a second light guide part extending from a front surface side of the first light guide part toward at least one lateral side of the first light guide part, a plurality of third light guide parts branching and extending from a midway portion of the second light guide part, an incidence part located on a back surface side of the first light guide part, and a first emission part located on a tip side of the plurality of third light guide parts, the second light guide part has a shape in which a cross-sectional area gradually decreases toward the tip side, and the plurality of third light guide parts are arranged next to each other in an extension direction of the second light guide part.
Tanker truck with rear lighting assembly and method of operation
A rear lighting assembly for a tank vehicle. The rear lighting assembly includes a signaling device that operably engages with one of a rear bulkhead of the tank vehicle and a false bulkhead of the tank vehicle. The rear lighting assembly also includes a processor that electrically connects with the signaling device for commanding the signaling device to emit a set of indication lights through the false bulkhead and behind the tank vehicle. The rear lighting assembly also includes a power source that electrically connects with the signaling device and the processor. The rear bulkhead is made of a first material that reflects the set of indication lights emitted by the signaling device. The false bulkhead is made of a second material that is different than the first material and that transmits the set of indication lights emitted by the signaling device.
