The present disclosure refers to a lighting unit, in particular in form of a RGB light assembly, comprising one or more lighting segments, wherein each lighting segment comprises several light sources emitting light rays into one or more light guides merging into one light out-coupling surface for guiding the outputted light rays to a lens providing a light output. The light unit may be provided in two alternatives either the light sources directly face the lens such that light rays are guided through the light guide to pass the lens to light up a surface, or the light sources emit light rays to enter the light guide to be guided to a reflector which focuses the light rays into a light window of a mask to light up the lens in the region of the light window.

An air duct system comprising an air duct having a main body, a visible light source, an emitter configured to emit radio frequency waves, and one or more antennas. The main body of the air duct defines a passageway having a reflective inner surface. The visible light source is configured to generate visible light. The visible light source directs the visible light along the reflective inner surface of the air duct. The emitter directs the radio frequency waves along the reflective inner surface of the air duct. The one or more antennas are each connected to a corresponding power harvesting circuit, where the radio frequency waves are received by the one or more antennas and are converted into electrical power by the corresponding power harvesting circuit.

The invention concerns a motor vehicle's optical system for interior lighting where the optical system includes a screen and multiple light sources disposed in series where the light sources are configured to project a screen light beam and the optical system includes a light box between the light sources and the screen and where the light box includes multiple cavities where each light source is associated with a light box cavity and where each light source is activated independently. The invention also concerns a motor vehicle's interior lighting device that includes this kind of optical system.
