Abstract: A vehicle headlight (12) that employs a plurality of LED units (38) that emit white light. Each LED unit (38) employs chip-on-board technology where LED semiconductor chips (64) are mounted directly to a submount substrate (56) using solder or stud bumps (60). An elongated lens (28) is molded over the LED unit (38) in contact with a base substrate (48). Light emitted from the semiconductor chip (64) is reflected and directed by the lens (28) to generate a beam of light (58). Some of the light emitted from the LED semiconductor chip (64) is redirected back to the submount substrate (56) to be reflected back into the lens (28) to increase the light intensity of the LED unit (38). Several of the elongated lens (28) and associated LED units (38) are optically glued to a single prism (24) that collects all of the light beams from all of the LED units (38).

In addition, at least one lens segment of the primary lens and its assigned lens segment of the secondary lens lie outside the optical axis of the light module. The present invention develops a compact low beam headlight, whose light distribution has a clearly defined hot spot. The light intensity of the illumination decreases steadily in the direction of the basic distribution.

Abstract: Lights, for example, in the form of rear lights, have luminous fields (11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 22) in the form of the flasher, the brake light, the tail light and the back-up light. In order to guarantee a homogeneous illumination that is as uniform as possible, the light has reflectors, of which a first reflector reflects the light, coming from a light source, to a luminous field (11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 22), respectively a pane (10). The side of this reflector that faces away from the pane (10) has the additional reflector, which reflects the light of an additional light source past the first reflector to the pane (10). The additional light enables a homogeneous illumination without the need for a lot of technical complexity. The light is intended, in particular, for motor vehicles.
