Abstract: The Dual Spectrum Illumination System (DSIS) is a modular light source having two independent emitters of optical radiation. A halogen bulb provides a high intensity visible beam. The second source of emissions is a ring of light emitting diodes (LED). The LED ring can be configured to supply area illumination, beam illumination, or a combination of area and beam illumination. The spectrum emitted by the LED is selectable from the wide range of commercially available diodes. The illumination system provides a beam and infrared area lighting using 21 high power, 6 watt, LEDs emitting at 880 nanometers mounted on the ring. Illumination control electronics are provided on a printed circuit assembly to provide the diodes with the correct current and voltage. A second embodiment of the invention is as a direct replacement for aircraft landing lights, mobile vehicle head lights, and any other situation requiring beam illumination.

Abstract: The headlight has a light source (12) which is mounted in a main reflector (10) by which a convergent light beam is reflected, which passes through a lens (16). An additional reflector (22) is arranged surrounding the main reflector (10) between the main reflector (10) and the lens (16), by which light not captured by the main reflector (10) is reflected as an additional light beam with horizontal scattering. The light beam passing through the lens (16) forms a low beam, by which a predetermined low beam light distribution is provided with an upper light-dark boundary. The additional light beam produces an additional uniform light distribution, which overlaps the low-beam light distribution. The headlight illuminates a larger surface than the surface of the lens (16) because of the additional reflector (22) surrounding the main reflector (10) and the lens (16) so that it causes no glare or blinding.
