Abstract: A tail light includes a housing with a translucent cover panel and one or more flexible light guides at least partly arranged in the housing. Each light guide contains one or more fibers which extend between two ends of the respective light guide in the longitudinal direction thereof. One or more laser light sources are provided at one end of each light guide, and the supplied light produces an emission of light out of the respective light guide along the longitudinal direction thereof. At least one part of the emitted light exits the tail light via the cover panel as a first light emission. An additional lighting device with one or more LEDs is at least partly arranged in the housing and is configured such that light originating from the LED(s) exits the tail light via the cover panel as a second light emission.

Abstract: A lighting device is attached to a vehicle and includes a forward facing visible light source that emits visible light in a forward direction relative to the vehicle. The lighting device further includes a rearward facing ultraviolet light source that emits ultraviolet light in a rearward direction relative to the vehicle, such that a reflecting material of an object, which is not illuminated by the visible light source, is illuminated by the ultraviolet light source. A control device is connected to the light sources, and is configured to turn the light sources on and off. A light sensor is connected to the control device and is configured to sense ambient light and to provide a signal to the control device. The control device is configured to turn the ultraviolet light source on and off responsive to the signal of the light sensor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an aircraft lighting system (ALS) are provided. The method includes co-locating a central light source subsystem including a blue light generator, red light generator, and green light generator, and a light generating control unit (LGCU) comprising a processor, and distributing a plurality of passive light-heads around an external surface of the aircraft. Each passive light-head of the plurality of passive light-heads is operationally coupled to a first side of a respective light switch of a respective plurality of light switches, the light switch being coupled on a second side to a light emitting output of the central light source subsystem. Controlling and actuating the light generators and the light switches in accordance with a load profile is performed by a light generating control unit (LGCU).

Abstract: A light device, especially a signal lamp for motor vehicles, includes a carrier housing (1) covered by a translucent cover (2) and an internal chamber (3) that houses an optical system comprising a light source (13) to generate coherent light (101) with a high luminous intensity. The optical system further comprises a lens (6) to direct the coherent light (101) generated by the light source (13) into a focused light beam (102), a divider (7) to divide the focused light beam (102) into separate light streams (103), and a diffusion means (9) to transform the light streams (103) entering the diffusion means (9) into homogenized light beams (104), the above mentioned parts of the optical system being arranged and configured for creating, in the front view, a spatial and/or designer light effect.
