  • Publication number: 20180345847
    Abstract: A method for adjusting a luminous intensity of headlamp light of a vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes at least one headlamp producing the headlamp light. The at least one headlamp includes a plurality of individually controllable light sources which create different partial areas of a light emission pattern of the headlamp light. The method includes obtaining a ground geometry of a ground area which can be illuminated by the headlamp light in the vicinity of the vehicle, calculating an illuminance producible by each of the light sources on the ground area using the obtained ground geometry, comparing the calculated illuminances with respective reference values, and adjusting a luminous intensity of the light sources to achieve the associated reference values of the illuminance.

  • Patent number: 9803832
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a lighting device is provided. The lighting device includes at least one light source for emitting primary light, at least one phosphor body which is illuminatable by the primary light and is spaced apart from the at least one light source, and at least one light scattering body which is situated optically downstream of the phosphor body in a light propagation direction of the primary light that is uninfluenced by the phosphor body. The lighting device is designed in the case of an intact phosphor body to generate an illumination pattern by light generated by the phosphor body, and otherwise to generate a light emission pattern by light generated by the at least one light scattering body. The light emission pattern differs from the illumination pattern.
