  • Lighting and/or signalling system comprising telemetry means
    Patent number: 10488522
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lighting system including a primary light source producing a primary light beam in the direction of a conversion device that returns a secondary light radiation to an optical imaging system forming a projected light beam. A light sensor generates a signal corresponding to the light received by this sensor. The light includes a non-converted light part of the first primary light beam which is returned by the conversion device in the projected light beam and is reflected by an obstacle situated in the zone illustrated by said projected light beam. A control unit has modulation means generating a modulation signal for the primary light, and demodulation means for processing the signal formed by said sensor, and determines a distance between the obstacle and the lighting system.
