This invention is a projector headlight that, while offering dual beam patterns, boasts a 100% utilization of the light emitted from a light source by one of the following methods: (1) employing a reflective cutoff shield means to reflect the incoming light from said light source back to the reflector to enhance the illumination in low-beam pattern, (2) using reversible cutoff shield means to reflect the incoming light from said light source back to the reflector to enhance the illumination in low-beam pattern with no moving part involved, (3) utilizing a selective light-filter cutoff means to selectively reflect the incoming light from said light source back to the reflector to enhance the illumination in low-beam pattern without making use of any moving part, (4) using a low-beam light-emitting subassembly and a high-beam light-emitting subassembly that are separated by partition means to achieve dual beam patterns with no moving part, or (5) adopting a low-beam light-emitting subassembly in low-beam pattern and a high-beam light-emitting subassembly in high-beam pattern without any moving part.

A lighting device is disclosed with an electromagnetic radiation source for irradiating a conversion element arranged in the lighting device with an excitation radiation. The conversion element has a first element side and a second element side. The first element side delimits a first radiation space and the second element side delimits a second radiation space. At least one optical unit at least for part of the radiation emanating from the first element side is arranged in the first radiation space and at least one optical unit at least for part of the radiation emanating from the second element side is arranged in the second radiation space.

A bi-functional headlamp for a vehicle is provided. The bi-functional headlamp implements a high beam mode and a low beam mode by adjusting a movement of a shield of a headlamp. The bi-functional headlamp reduces the occurrence of impact and noise caused by an operation of opening and closing the rotary shield by maintaining contact between a shock absorber component that reduces operational noise of the rotary shield and one side of the rotary shield.

A high beam and low beam switching device, a vehicle lamp comprising the high beam and low beam switching device, and a vehicle, the device comprising a light shielding plate, an impeller, and a driving device that is used for driving the light shielding plate and the impeller to rotate forwards and backwards; and a limiting mechanism used for limiting the rotation angle of the light shielding plate is provided between the light shielding plate and the driving device. The high-beam and low-beam switching device can achieve the successful switching of a high beam and a low beam, and the use of a vehicle lamp will not be affected; mist or moisture in the interior of the vehicle lamp can be removed, and meanwhile, the heat dissipation effect of the vehicle lamp can be improved, and the space that is occupied by the vehicle lamp will not be increased.

A headlight includes a housing, a light source module, a light shielding unit and a lens. The housing defines a reflection space, and a channel in front of the reflection space. The light source module is mounted in the reflection space, and is configured to emit a light beam reflected into the channel. The light shielding unit includes a light shielding plate mounted in the channel for shielding the light beam passing through the channel to make the light beam have a cutoff line. The lens is disposed in front of the light shielding unit, and includes a main focusing portion, and a supplementary portion protruding from the main focusing portion toward the light shielding plate for guiding the light beam to an area above the cutoff line.

A shield drive device for a head lamp may include a shield deployed in front of a light source positioned in a lamp assembly to be opened and closed while rotating by using a hinge portion as an axis, an actuator connected to a shield arm through a shaft while being deployed below the shield to rotate the shield, a sliding contact member deployed to be close to the shield arm of the shield to provide friction contact force when the shield rotates, and a sliding stopper and a spring mounted on the shield arm of the shield and configured to decelerate and control a motion of the shield while being compressed or de-compressed while contacting the sliding contact member when the shield rotates.
