A light projection device for a moving body is provided on the moving body and includes: a light source for irradiating light; an optical scanner which has a mirror portion for reflecting the light irradiated from the light source and a drive source for swinging the mirror portion, and scans the light irradiated from the light source; and a control portion which controls to acquire change information of an angle range at which the mirror portion swings, change the angle range at which the mirror portion swings by controlling the drive source based on the acquired change information, and change an irradiation range of the light irradiated from the light source.

A vehicle comprises a first lighting assembly disposed to the left of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and comprising a first array of independently operable light emitting diodes and a first projection lens arranged to form a front left light beam for the vehicle from light output from the first array of light emitting diodes, a second lighting assembly disposed to the right of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and comprising a second array of independently operable light emitting diodes and a second projection lens arranged to form a front right light beam for the vehicle from the second array of light emitting diodes, and a controller configured to control activation of the light emitting diodes in the first array of light emitting diodes to adjust an angle between the front left light beam and the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and to control activation of the light emitting diodes in the second array of light emitting diodes to adjust an angle between the front right light beam and the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.

A vehicle illumination system provided in a vehicle capable of traveling around a corner by inclining a vehicle body toward a turning direction includes: a headlamp mounted on a front portion of the vehicle; a communication lamp disposed on the vehicle body in a region adjacent to the head lamp so as to be visible from ahead of the vehicle; and an illumination control unit configured to change a lighting mode of the communication lamp depending on a state of the vehicle.

A light distribution control device can perform diffused light distribution control designed to widen an irradiation range of a headlamp of an own vehicle. The light distribution control device is equipped with a recognition unit that recognizes a situation around the own vehicle, and a control unit that performs diffused light distribution control when a curve section in front of the own vehicle in a traveling direction thereof is detected, from a result of recognition by the recognition unit. The control unit controls the headlamp such that a non-required irradiation region where irradiation with light is not required is restrained from being irradiated with light and that a region other than the non-required irradiation region is irradiated with more light, when the non-required irradiation region is detected in the irradiation range of the headlamp in performing diffused light distribution control, from the result of recognition.

The invention relates to a light device for a motor vehicle, the device including a housing, members for fastening the housing to a body of the motor vehicle, a plate arranged in the housing and supporting at least one light module, a device for manually adjusting the orientation of the housing relative to the fastening members of the motor vehicle, arranged outside the housing, and a device for dynamically adjusting the orientation of the plate relative to the housing, arranged inside the housing.
