Abstract: A lighting module for an automotive vehicle. The module comprises a support, for example made by a heat dissipation device, and a printed circuit board accommodating at least one light source of a first type. The printed circuit board is housed on the support. The lighting module proposes allowing light sources of a second type, generating, for example, a different amount of heat, to be housed so that the rays arising from the two types of sources may be coupled into one and the same light guide, while efficiently dissipating the heat generated by each of the types of light sources.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a detector device for detecting a status of at least a first electronic element of an automotive lighting device. This detector device comprises a status detection unit configured to detect a status of the at least first electronic element and to generate a reference signal which depends at least on the status of the first electronic element. It also comprises a comparison signal generator configured to generate a comparison signal and a comparison unit configured to generate a pulse-width modulation signal by comparing the reference signal with the comparison signal.

Abstract: An automotive lamp including a light source driven by an electric current, and an electronic circuit configured to modify the electric current. The electronic circuit includes a plurality of discrete analog electronic components. The electronic circuit is configured to modify the electric current driving the light source so as to drive the light source with a first electric current IL1 or with a second electric current IL2; to switch from the first electric current IL1 to the second electric current IL2 when a temperature T of the light source increases and exceeds a first temperature level TL1inc; and to switch from the second electric current IL2 to the first electric current IL1 when the temperature T increases and exceeds a second temperature level TL2inc, where IL2 is greater than ILL and TL2inc is greater than TL1inc.
