Abstract: In a brake light (1) comprising at least one rod-shaped optical fiber (9) and at least one light source, wherein the light from the light source is coupled into the optical fiber (9) at its end face and is decoupled from the optical fiber (9) via a peripheral exit surface (11), in accordance with the invention, two rod-shaped optical fibers (9) are disposed one after another in the longitudinal direction of the brake light (1), wherein the at least one light source is disposed between the two optical fibers (9).

Abstract: An optical attachment 10 for a light source, in particular for a light-emitting diode 12, exhibits an inner lens area 14 which surrounds an optical axis 13 of the optical attachment 10 for inner light beams 15 emitted from the light source and an outer reflector area 16 for outer light beams 17 of the light source which surrounds the inner lens area 14 in a ring-like manner. Due to this combination of refraction in the inner lens area and reflection in the outer reflector area, the dimensions of the optical attachment can be kept relatively small and, in comparison to a lens or a reflector, more light can be collected and the point-shaped light diode can be imaged on the exiting side as a large area light appearance.

Abstract: A light arrangement for a vehicle which includes a light housing from which light from a light source emerges through a first outlet opening. At least a second light outlet is also provided on the light housing. Moreover, at least one screen section is movably disposed, in the light housing which either covers or releases the path of rays of the light between light source and second outlet opening. A bulb can thus either meet an interior or reading light function which saves components, cost and space.

Abstract: In a light housing (1) for the installation into a mounting opening (2), in particular for a light in a motor vehicle, with an angle bracket (9), which is slidable onto a wall section (16) of the mounting opening (2) with the holding receptacle (10), the light disk (5) is insertable into the remaining opening with the angle bracket being slid on, where the inserted light disk (5) grips around the angle bracket (9) and also grips around a wall section (26) of the mounting opening (2) approximately on the opposite side. Only two installation steps are necessary for mounting the light housing (1) i.e., sliding of the holding receptacle (9) onto the wall section (16) and inserting the light disk (5).

Abstract: A light arrangement (1) comprising at least two spaced apart contact plates (3,5) and comprising several LEDs connected to the contact plates (3,5) in an electrically conducting fashion. The contact plates (3,5) are spaced apart from one another by an electrically insulating carrier (6) thereby achieving an optimum heat conduction from the LEDs. The LEDs are electrically mounted to projections extending from one of the contact plates towards the other contact plate. The carrier (6) is preferably a plastic layer covering at least part of the contact plates (3,5).

Abstract: In order to easily install a light housing (1) in a simple and straightforward fashion into an installation opening, the light housing has an installation frame (2) having a frame opening (7) which can be installed from the front into the installation opening and with an insert member (3) which can be moved from a forward direction at least partially into the frame opening (7) and with at least one pivot element (4) born on the installation frame (2) which, in an outward pivot position, engages, with a seating surface (14), behind the wall of the installation opening and, in an inward pivot position, engages into the path of motion of the insert member (3) with an abutment surface (10) extending at an angle with respect to the seating surface (14). The entire light housing (1) is preferentially an injection-molded component.

Abstract: A lighting device comprises at least one door light (4) provided in a door (2) of a vehicle, the light source of which (6) is disposed behind a wall (7) of a door covering, in particular a trim (3), wherein the outer side of the wall (7) is formed, in this region (8), by a light-permeable decorative layer (10) which has a surface pattern when the light source (6) is switched off corresponding to the remaining surface decor of the wall (7). The light-permeable decorative layer (10) is introduced onto a transparent plastic (13) using the IMD method. It is thereby possible to impart an arbitrary surface design to the light-permeable decorative layer (10).

Abstract: A light (1) for vehicles having a switch (2) and a pivotably mounted window (25) for illumination whose pivoting causes operation of the switch (2), is characterized in that the switch (2) has a contact lever (4) mounted in a pivotable fashion about an axis of rotation (3), with the contact lever (4) having an operation arm (5) extending in a first direction away from the axis of rotation (3) as well as a contact arm (6) extending in a second direction away from the axis of rotation (3), wherein the operation arm (5) has an operation region (7) having a first separation with respect to the axis of rotation (3) and the contact arm (6) has a contact region (8) having a second separation with respect to the axis of rotation (3), wherein the second separation is larger than the first separation and, by means of a directed motion of the operation arm (5) in the operation region (7), the contact lever (4) pivots about the axis of rotation (3) and the contact region (8) moves in such a fashion as to operate the swit
