Abstract: In order to provide a motorcycle light in which a sufficient and sufficiently distributed light intensity can be provided with an emitting surface that appears as attractive as possible, it is assumed that the appearance of a motorcycle light is decisively influenced by the emitting surface and the subassemblies located in front of it in the main beam direction thereof, starting from the light sources and extending via the subassemblies that influence the light up to the emitting surface, wherein precisely the emitting surface and these subassemblies are also responsible for a sufficient and a sufficiently distributed light intensity. In particular, this influence and responsibilities seem to be of greater importance than the housing of the motorcycle light, which traditionally has been accorded great importance.

Abstract: A vehicle light, wherein light to be emitted by a base light source which is offset with respect to an emission surface is first conducted radially outwards in targeted manner and is then reflected in an axial direction with respect to the emission surface, uses light-conducting bodies, which are spaced apart from a deflection mirror, or a light-conducting space, which extends first radially and then axially, to obtain as light-intensive, uniform and directional light emissions as possible.
