    Abstract: A computing system for controlling a plurality of exterior lights on a flying vehicle is disclosed. The computing system is configured to: determine a flying vehicle status for the flying vehicle; determine an environment status for the flying vehicle; determine a current flight phase for the flying vehicle; determine, for each of a plurality of the exterior lights that is in an automatic lighting control mode, a desired lighting state for the exterior light by applying a predefined lighting pattern that identifies, based on the flying vehicle status, environmental status, and the current flight phase, a first subset of the exterior lights to cause to enter a first lighting state and a second subset of the exterior lights to cause to enter a second lighting state; and cause the first subset of exterior lights to be in the first lighting state and the second subset of exterior lights to be in the second lighting state.

    Abstract: A lighting device for a vehicle. The lighting device includes an LED having a central axis. light distribution of light emitted by the LED is substantially symmetric about the central axis. The lighting device also includes a reflector for reflecting at least a portion of the emitted light. The reflector is positioned relative to the LED such that a combined light distribution of the emitted light and reflected light is not symmetric about the central axis and a maximum light intensity direction of the combined light distribution of the emitted light and the reflected light is angled with respect to the central axis. The position of the reflector relative to the light-emitting semiconductor device is adjustable such that an adjustment to the position of the reflector changes a direction of the maximum light intensity direction of the combined light distribution.
