  • Patent number: 10890468
    Abstract: A light ring assembly that is designed to provide bright, uniform and homogenized illumination and that can be used with any number of vehicle and non-vehicle lighting applications. According to one embodiment, the light ring assembly includes a housing, a circuit board with a number of individual light sources, a light ring and a lens. Light emitted by the light sources enters an optical input surface on a bottom side of the light ring, is reflected within the body of the light ring so as to mix and become more distributed, and then exits an optical output surface on a top side of the light ring.

  • Patent number: 10746918
    Abstract: A light assembly that acts as a light source multiplier. The light assembly includes a light guide having a light source side and an emitting side with a center portion between the light source side and the emitting side. Both the light source side and the emitting side have a truncated sawtooth shape. The light source side has a plurality of truncated portions and a plurality of apex portions between each truncated portion, with one or more of the apex portions ending in the center portion of the light guide. In some implementations, a number of light guide segments are oriented in a lattice configuration.
