Abstract: A vehicle lamp has a housing, a light-transmissive shield covering the housing that extends across a corner area of the vehicle, at least one lamp chamber in the housing in which a light source is positioned, and a Fresnel lens having concentrically arranged prism rings located between the light source and the light-transmissive shield adjacent to the light-transmissive shield in at least partial area. The Fresnel lens has at least one curved partial area, in order to make manufacturing as simple as possible while achieving an optimal illumination and maintaining proper light distribution. The Fresnel lens is comprised of a first curved partial area having a center of the concentrically arranged prism rings and a second partial area extending up to a side area of the lamp chamber. The partial areas have differing surface geometries and are separated from each other by vertical separating lines.

Abstract: A light system for an interior space of a motor vehicle comprises a plurality of function groups, each comprising a plurality of light-creation units (LE). Each light creation unit has an electrically activated and deactivated light source (LQ) and a reflector (R) for concentrating light from the light source. At least one light conductor (LL) is associated with each light creation unit with its first end being coupled to the light creation unit for transmitting concentrated light, the light conductor including a plurality of flexible individual light conductors (EL), and there being a light emitting unit (E) at a second end of the light conductor for illuminating a surface. The light sources of a single function group are simultaneously activated and deactivated. The light-creation units are spatially distributed in the motor vehicle so as to reduce the lengths of the light conductors.
