LIGHTING ASSEMBLY FOR AN INTERIOR OF A VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE AND INTERIOR PANEL INCLUDING THE SAME

Lighting assemblies for interiors of vehicles, interior panels for interiors of vehicles, and vehicles are provided herein. In one example, the lighting assembly includes a backing structure having a first backing surface configured to face the interior when the lighting assembly is mounted in the vehicle. A bezel comprises a wall that extends from an outer edge portion to an inner edge portion. The inner edge portion is spaced apart from the first backing surface to define a gap and surrounds an opening that is configured to expose at least a portion of the first backing surface to the interior. A light source is disposed between the backing structure and the bezel and is covered by the wall. The light source is operative to produce light that passes from the light source through the gap onto the first backing surface and is reflected therefrom through the opening to the interior.

VARIABLE LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE

Interior panels for an interior of a vehicle, vehicles, and methods for making interior panels for an interior of a vehicle are provided. In one example, the interior panel includes a first trim section having a first exposed surface configured to face towards the interior. A second trim section that has a second exposed surface configured to face towards the interior is disposed adjacent to and spaced apart from the first trim section to define a gap. A first lighting array that includes light sources is configured to be disposed proximate the gap hidden from the interior by the second trim section. A controller is configured to be in communication with the first lighting array to independently direct each of the light sources to generate light that passes through the gap into the interior and illuminates the first exposed surface to define an illumination pattern.

LED lighting system

An LED control system is provided for connection to an LED lighting system via a power line to control the LED lighting system using commands formed by manipulation of frequency and amplitude of a signal transmitted over the power line. The signal may be for example a wave or a sequence of pulses. The signal may be provided in superposition with line power or the line power may be formed as the signal.

The present disclosure provides a night vision imaging system (NVIS) lighting system, comprising a frame comprising a first light source, a second light source adjacent to the first light source, a third light source adjacent to the second light source, and a diffuser mounted to the frame and encasing the first light source, the second light source, and the third light source. The first light source may comprise a first dominant wavelength, the second light source may comprise a second dominant wavelength different from the first dominant wavelength, and the third light source may comprise a third dominant wavelength different from the first dominant wavelength and the second dominant wavelength. Light emitted from the first light source, the second light source, and the third light source may be blended to generate a first blended light source comprising a first target output color.
