  • Publication number: 20240191860
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a combination lamp are provided, which combine a plurality of different lamp functions in a unitary configuration, and can reduce the total amount of space taken up for at least substantially the same amount of illumination produced. The combination lamps can be configured for use on vehicles, light fixtures, free standing lamps, decorative articles, etc. In some embodiments, each lamp component may have a power connection element independent from the other lamp components.

  • Patent number: 11351911
    Abstract: Improved light emitting diode (LED) vehicle headlamps having a dedicated daytime running lamp (DRL) component are described. In various embodiments, a combination Low Beam/DRL headlamp is provided, which uses pulse width modulation (PWM) detection to determine which of the two internal LED light sources (Low Beam or DRL) is powered on. If the Low Beam/DRL headlamp detects a PWM signal on the Low Beam voltage input then it switches to drive the DRL LEDs. If, alternatively, it detects a steady state input voltage then it switches to drive the Low Beam LEDs.

  • Patent number: 8717679
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lens for use with a lamp having at least one LED light source. The lens preferably includes a plurality of projections each having a substantially flat top surface and a plurality of sloping side surfaces, preferably suitable for dispersing the emitted light. Such a variance in light emission may enhance the light being viewed from different angles and positions therefrom.
