A intelligent long-distance infrared fill-light set for illuminating a predetermined target range at least 500 meters away cooperates with an infrared image-acquisition equipment to obtain an image of an illuminated-object, and includes: infrared fill-lights each including an optical lens, optical axis passing through a focus, infrared light sources emitting an infrared beam having a main beam angle, to generate a substantial overlapping area and at least one non-overlapping area when illuminating to the predetermined target range; enabling devices that enable light sources; and a control unit receiving image data acquired by the infrared image-acquisition equipment, for calculating and adjusting the enabling device to locally strengthen or weaken the substantial overlapping area and/or non-overlapping area. Infrared fill-lights are spaced a predetermined distance, so that the human eyes accidentally entering a predetermined dangerous illumination range will not be simultaneously illuminated by infrared beams, thereby avoiding exceeding a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE).

The present invention concerns a lighting device comprising a source for generating electromagnetic radiation, and a beam shaper which is so arranged and adapted that in operation of the lighting device it spatially expands the electromagnetic radiation issuing from the source. In comparison therewith the object of the present invention is to provide such a lighting device which ensures eye safety even when the beam shaper is detached or damaged. For that purpose it is proposed according to the invention that the lighting device has a sensor which is so adapted that in operation of the lighting device it detects a state of the beam shaper, wherein the sensor and the source are so operatively connected together and adapted that if during operation of the lighting device the state of the beam shaper changes in such a way that electromagnetic radiation could issue from the lighting device without the beam shaper being in the beam path of the electromagnetic radiation the source is switched off.

In an illumination device, an incidence angle of a laser beam, which is scanned by a laser beam scanning mechanism, with respect to a wavelength conversion member is set to an angle where the laser beam does not directly enter a projection lens when the wavelength conversion member is damaged, chipped or fallen off, and a laser light source and the laser beam scanning mechanism are located at a position corresponding to at least one of an upper side and a lower side of a light distribution pattern with respect to the wavelength conversion member, and are disposed to be deviated to either one of one side corresponding to a left side of the light distribution pattern and other side corresponding to a right side of the light distribution pattern.

A laser-based light source includes a laser device configured to generate laser light of a predetermined laser wavelength and emit this laser light as a laser beam. A light-conversion device is configured to convert at least part of the laser light into converted light and a laser-output sensor is configured to determine a laser-output signal proportional to the output of laser light emitted by the laser device. Further, a converted-light sensor is configured to determine a converted-light signal proportional to the output of converted light emitted by the light-conversion device. A controller is configured to receive the laser-output signal and the converted-light signal, to determine a safe-to-operate parameter, based on the laser-output signal and the converted-light signal, and to control the operation of the laser-based light source based on a comparison of the safe-to-operate parameter with a at least one predefined threshold.

Disclosed herein is a vehicle headlight for improving visibility during operation. In the vehicle headlight, a filtering film capable of preventing glare and reducing a discomfort glare phenomenon by controlling scotopic vision (S)/photopic vision (P) ratio in such a manner as to selectively absorb/block blue light in light emitted from an LED module is adhered, thereby improving visibility during operation.

When light is off, a transparent appearance is obtained, while when the light is on, light is seen through a transparent spot. The present invention includes a light source portion and a reflective portion. The light source portion emits light. The light source portion is disposed at a position shifted with respect to an emitting direction of emitted light from the reflective portion. The reflective portion reflects the light from the light source portion and emits it in a predetermined direction. The reflective portion is constituted by a transparent member with a refractive index at least in a visible light area larger than 1. As a result, in the present invention, the transparent appearance is obtained when the light is off, while the light is seen through the transparent spot when the light is on.
