Abstract: A light assembly includes a laser light emitting diode for emitting a light beam along an axis and a diffusing assembly for deflecting the light beam substantially 360 degrees around the axis. The diffusing assembly includes a light diffuser for receiving and scattering a light beam emitted from the diode, a phosphor tube for further scattering the light emitted from the diffuser, and a mirror for returning any light with is not deflected radially through the phosphor tube back into the phosphor tube. The deflector has a reflective end surface to allow the light repeated passes thorough the phosphor tube until it escapes radially through the tube.

Abstract: A vehicle light assembly includes auxiliary lighting. The auxiliary light includes a base that may comprise a circuit board and a heat sink material. A series of auxiliary lights, such as LEDs, are attached to the base. A fastener extends through a mounting hole in the base to attach the base to the vehicle lighting shroud or trim. The auxiliary lights may be in an annular array, typically called a halo, or in numerous other linear or geometric shapes.
