Abstract: A lighting assembly including a semiconductor light source, a support with a recess within which the semiconductor light source is positioned, and a collimator having light entry and light exit openings joined together by at least one side wall. The collimator is moveable relative to the support. The collimator is attached to the support such that the light entry opening of the collimator and the recess are joined in a nested manner so that light emitted by the semiconductor light source within the recess enters the collimator through the light entry opening and exits essentially only through the light exit opening of the collimator for any position of the collimator over its range of motion. The lighting assembly further includes an actuator for moving the collimator over at least part of its range of motion. An automotive headlamp arrangement includes the lighting assembly, a reflector element and a secondary optic.

Abstract: The invention describes a lighting assembly (1) comprising a semiconductor light source (2); a support (3) with a recess (30), within which recess (30) the semiconductor light source (2) is positioned; and a collimator (4, 4?) comprising a light entry opening (5, 5?), a light exit opening (6, 6?), and at least one side wall, which collimator (4, 4?) is moveable relative to the support (3) within a range of motion (M, M?). The collimator (4, 4?) is attached to the support (3) such that the light entry opening (5, 5?) of the collimator (4, 4?) and the recess (30) are joined in a nested manner so that light emitted by the semiconductor light source (2) within the recess (30) enters the collimator (4, 4?) through the light entry opening (5, 5?) and exits essentially only through the light exit opening (6, 6?) of the collimator (4, 4?) for any position of the collimator (4, 4?) over its range of motion (M, M?).
