    摘要: An overhead console includes: a light source; and a light guiding member including bending portions at intermediate positions in the light guiding member such that the light guiding member extends from the light incident surface to the light exit surface so as to form an optical path in which light incident on the light incident surface is reflected by reflecting surfaces provided in the bending portions so as to reach the light exit surface, the light guiding member having such a shape that line segments drawn between given points on the light incident surface and given points on the light exit surface do not include a line segment that passes through only the light guiding member.

    摘要: In a method for avoiding dazzling of a person (10) by a light source (6) arranged in an interior (20) of a vehicle (22), wherein the light source (6) during operation emits light (24) within a beam cone (26), a camera (4) is arranged in the interior (20) and oriented such that at least one monitoring section (28) of the beam cone (26), in which the person (10) can enter, is located in the field of view (30) of the camera (4), the camera (4) records a camera image (32), using machine person detection, it is ascertained from the camera image (32) whether at least one part of the person (10) is located within the beam cone (26), in this case, at least the region (18) of the beam cone (26) in which the part of the person (10) is located is switched to glare-free.

    摘要: An apparatus including a light housing; a first light fixed to the light housing; an attachment device configured to temporarily attach the light housing with the light to a front windshield of a vehicle; and wherein the first light is fixed to the light housing in a manner so that light from the first light is projected outwards from the light housing in a visual field of less than one hundred and eighty degrees. The attachment device, is configured to attach the light housing to the front windshield so that the visual field of the first light does not project into either of both eyes of a driver of the vehicle. The light housing may be substantially cylindrical and may have a flat surface, configured to be attached and to abut the front windshield. The apparatus may further include a first brightness setting mechanism attached to the light housing.

    摘要: An ambient light controller in an agricultural machine can control multicolor lights arranged in an operator cab of the machine to project light around structures in the cab to areas that are perceivable by a forward facing operator to convey useful information about the machine to the operator. The lights can be projected around such structures by using light pipes. The lights can preferably be in a color which minimizes glare inside the cab to avoid distraction. The light controller can monitor various functions of the machine, such as boom height, and change colors and/or patterns of the lights to indicate states corresponding to the conditions, such as a normal state and a fault state.
