Abstract: A light assembly includes a core, a light source, and a functional layer. The core extends along a centerline, and includes a base end, a distal end, a first side spanning axially between the base and distal ends, and a second side opposite the first side and spanning axially between the base and distal ends. The second side includes an unbinding element axially extending partially between the base and distal ends. The light source is adapted to emit light rays into the core at the base end. The functional layer is laterally spaced from the first side, axially extends partially between the base and distal ends, and is axially aligned to the unbinding element.

Abstract: A light assembly includes a substantially closed housing, a light source, a thermoelectric device, and a moisture expulsion device. The housing is defines a chamber, and includes a lens. The light source is adapted to direct light from the chamber and through the lens. The thermoelectric device includes a cold side and a hot side. The cold side is adapted to form condensation from moisture in the chamber. The moisture expulsion device includes a first segment in contact with the hot side and adapted to receive thermal heat from the hot side, and a second segment in contact with the first segment and exposed to an external environment for dissipation of moisture. The second segment is adapted to receive thermal heat from the first segment, and condensate from the cold side.

Abstract: A composite lens arrangement for use with a light emitting source directed along an optical axis includes a collimator lens, a beam former lens, a first optical structure, and a member. The collimator lens includes a light collection surface axially opposed to the light emitting source, and an opposite facing light emitting surface. The beam former lens is spaced axially from the light emitting surface, and includes a light collection face axially opposed to the light emitting surface and an opposite light emitting face. The first optical structure is integral to one of the light emitting surface and the light collection face. The member is radially spaced from the optical axis, and extends between, and is attached to, the light emitting surface and the light collection face.

Abstract: A laser-etched light guide assembly includes a light guide, a light source, and a laser-etched feature. The light source is configured to emit light into the light guide. The laser-etched feature is etched upon the light guide, and is adapted to reflect the light for illuminated display of the laser-etched feature.

Abstract: An actuator system for a lighting system includes a shape memory alloy coupled to a component of the lighting system to control an actuation of the component and thereby produce a plurality of light patterns and an electrical control circuit in electrical communication with the shape memory alloy to selectively provide an electrical current to the shape memory alloy for controlling a physical property of the shape memory alloy and thereby the motion of the component of the lighting system.
