Abstract: An illumination device (6) comprising a light source (8) producing a first cone of light (10) and a deflection unit (12) for the beam-shaping conversion of the first cone of light (10) into a second cone of light (14a,b) and to emit the latter towards the target area (4a,b), the deflection unit (12) can be varied in order to vary the form (Fa,b) and/or the intensity distribution (Ia,b) in the second cone of light. An illumination system (2) contains the illumination device (6) and the target area (4a,b). The illumination device (6) or the illumination system (2) is used to illuminate a surface of an interior of a vehicle as target area (4a,b).

Abstract: A luminous device is provided comprising LEDs with an LED controller for adjusting a luminous characteristic of the LEDs, and a data receiver (10). The data receiver (10), is connected to the LED controller (9), for wireless reception of data (D). The controller (4) is configured in such a way that, in predetermined switching stage (S3) of the controller (4), the data receiver (10) can be or is activated, and in the case of an activated data receiver (10), the luminous characteristic of the LEDs (3) can be adjusted exclusively by the LED controller (9) depending on data (D) received by the data receiver (10).

Abstract: The present invention provides a a headlight operable as a running light of a vehicle and, in particular, as a headlight of the vehicle for selectively projecting a low and a high beam. The headlight includes a reflector having a light source disposed therein. A beam position adjusting device operates to move the light source between its low beam position and its high beam position. The beam position adjusting device includes an electric powered drive motor and a displaceable interconnecting element interconnecting the beam position adjusting device and the light source. The device also includes a motion translation element for translating the drive output of the drive motor to displacement of the displaceable interconnecting element, the beam position adjusting device being operable to dispose the light source in its high beam position. A return movement device automatically biases the light source to move to its low beam disposition when the drive motor is not powered.
