    Abstract: A vehicle light (1, 11) produces low-beam output using generally spherical distribution light source (7) with increased efficiency. The vehicle light (1) includes transmissive lens (2) through which light exits vehicle light (1); concave reflector (3); light occluding member (100) defining first sub-reflector (6); cut-off edge (4); and second sub-reflector (5). Concave reflector (3) extends upward above light occluding member (100) and directs low-beam light toward transmissive lens (2). Light occluding member (100) is disposed horizontally proximate a longitudinal axis of the vehicle light and low-beam light is reflected between concave reflector (3) and light occluding member (100) toward transmissive lens (2). A second sub-reflector (5) disposed below generally spherical distribution light source (7) has a concave reflecting surface (18, 18a, 18b), preferably shaped as a wedge of a sphere, to reflect low-beam light, emitted downwardly from generally spherical distribution light source (7), towards concave reflector (3).

    Abstract: A light assembly (100) for directing light into a light guide utilizes a light source (120) comprising a linear array of light emitting diodes (140). The linear array has two opposed long sides (160, 180) equally disposed about a longitudinal axis (162) and two opposed short sides (200, 220) and is positioned in a mounting plane (240). The array has an optical plane (250) lying in a plane perpendicular to the mounting plane (240). A primary optic (260) having a reflecting surface (270) is associated therewith, the reflecting surface (270) having a parabolic cross-section and a focal point (280) and a bisector of parabolic cross-section (282) wherein the focal point (280) is disposed at one of the long sides (160, 180) of the array (140) and the bisector of parabolic cross-section (282) has an axis (283) that is tilted with respect to the optical plane (250). In a preferred embodiment, the axis (283) of the bisector of parabolic cross-section (282) is tilted about 8 degrees. The construction provides an arrangement for feeding light from the array into a light guide.

    Abstract: A replacement vehicular lamp assembly (10) configured for insertion into a vehicle chassis-mounted lamp housing (110) originally containing an incandescent lamp (118) installed in an aperture (102) in a chassis-mounted reflector (116). Lamp assembly (10) has a housing (12) supporting LED(s) and displaceably mounted reflector segments (40) moveable between a closed configuration facilitating installation through the aperture (102) and an outwardly open configuration for function within the lamp housing (110) to form a first reflector (38). A biasing mechanism (25) biases the reflector segments (40) to the open configuration to deploy the first reflector (38) overlying the chassis-mounted reflector (116) so that light from the LED is received on the first reflector (38) defined by the reflector segments (40).

    Abstract: An optical light guide (30) comprises a base (32); a body (34) extending from the base along a longitudinal axis (36); and N light-emitting segments (38) extending laterally from the body (34), at least some of the N segments (38) being spaced a different distance from the base (32). The light guide (30) is constructed of a light-transmitting material, such as glass or acrylic, and can be clear or colored. In a preferred embodiment of the invention each of the segments (38) would extend a different distance from the base; however, the exact degree of separation would be dependent upon the curvature of surface with which the optic is to be utilized.
