Abstract: A lighting device and a lighting unit comprising a reflector and a lighting device, or LED lamp are described. The LED lamp have a first and a second LED assembly. Each LED assembly comprises at least one LED element with an LED chip and a carrier with a flat surface for carrying the LED chip. The LED chip emits light with a main optical direction. The first and second LED assembly are mounted relative to each other so that at least a first LED element from the first LED assembly and a second LED element from the second LED assembly enclose a rotating angle (?) between their respective flat surfaces with respect to an axis of rotation (A) so as to involve light angle between the first and second main optical directions. The axis of rotation (A) is parallel to a plane of a flat carrier surface of at least one LED element. The first and second LED assemblies are arranged offset from each other parallel to the axis of rotation (A).

Abstract: An automotive lighting system (20) is described with a signal emitting device (30) installed in a lamp socket (18). The lamp socket (18) is connected to a lighting connection (16) of a vehicle (10). The signal emitting device (30) emits a signal if the lighting connection (16) is energized. A lighting module (24) is connected to an electrical power supply (28) of the vehicle (10). The lighting module (24) comprises a receiver (42), a control unit (45) and a light source (22). The control unit (46) is disposed to operate the light source (22) in a first mode if a signal is received in the receiver, and in a second mode if the signal is not received.

Abstract: A lighting device and a lighting unit comprising a reflector (52) and a lighting device, or LED lamp (10) are described. The LED lamp have a first and a second LED assembly (30, 32). Each LED assembly (30, 32) comprises at least one LED element (34a, 34b, 34c; 36a, 36b, 36c) with an LED chip (40) and a carrier (38) with a flat surface for carrying the LED chip (40). The LED chip (40) emits light with a main optical direction. The first and second LED assembly (30, 32) are mounted relative to each other so that at least a first LED element (34a) from the first LED assembly (30) and a second LED element (36a) from the second LED assembly (32) enclose a rotating angle (?) between their respective flat surfaces with respect to an axis of rotation (A), so as to involve light angle between the first and second main optical directions. The axis of rotation (A) is parallel to a plane of a flat carrier surface of at least one LED element (36a).
