One of the first pixelated light beam and second pixelated light beam, called high resolution beam, has a number of pixels greater than or equal to at least five times, in particular greater than or equal to at least ten times, the number of pixels of the other of said pixelated light beams, called low resolution beam.

An apparatus can include a lens that can shape light emerging from a light emitting diode (LED). The emergent light from the LED can be substantially centered around an LED axis. An incident surface of the lens can be positioned to face the LED. The incident surface can include a concave portion. The concave portion can be substantially smooth, so as not to substantially scatter light that strikes the concave portion. The concave portion can be substantially centered around a concave portion axis that is non-coaxial with the LED axis. The incident surface can include a scattering portion, positioned away from the concave portion, which can be textured so as to scatter light that strikes the scattering portion. An exiting surface of the lens can optionally include a generally planar portion that at least partially surrounds a substantially smooth convex portion.

A headlamp assembly includes a low beam assembly configured to generate a low beam distribution that includes a first low beam module having a first laser solid state light source that is optically configured to emit a first luminous intensity distribution and a second laser solid state light source that is optically configured to emit a second luminous intensity distribution, and a second low beam module having a solid state light source that is optically configured to emit a third luminous intensity distribution, which at least partially overlaps at least one of the first and second luminous intensity distributions; the headlamp assembly also having a high beam assembly configured to generate a high beam distribution.

A method is provided for operating a headlight having a laser light source in a motor vehicle. The headlight generates a light distribution from the light of the laser light source. The laser light source is activated such that the operating power of the laser light source is switched from a first power value to a deactivated operating state or is lowered to a second power value when the speed of the motor vehicle falls below a first speed threshold. The operating power of the laser light source is increased from the deactivated operating state or from the second power value to the first power value, when the speed of the motor vehicle exceeds a second speed threshold, which is greater than or equal to the first speed threshold.

A lighting device includes at least one semiconductor light source, at least one incandescent filament configured to emit electromagnetic radiation when energized, and a carrier supporting both the semiconductor light source and the incandescent filament. A screen is defined by the carrier between the semiconductor light source and the incandescent filament, so as to shield the semiconductor light source from the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the incandescent filament. The incandescent filament connected in series with the at least one semiconductor light source.

A lighting system for a motor vehicle, which is intended for emitting a light beam.
