Abstract: A replaceable lighting module in an LED light source is provided. The module improves thermal, mechanical, and electrical connection with an associated fixture. The replaceable module also provides for precise positioning and improves on optical properties of the light distribution.

Abstract: An improved incandescent light source as may be used in a vehicle headlamp for providing forward illumination. The illuminating system includes a filament coil and an anisotropic reflector assembly. The filament coil is constructed from a coil of wire that is electrically conductive and has a high melting point and the primary axis of the coil of wire is substantially aligned with a principal axis of the reflector system. The light flux emitted by the filament coil toward the reflector system is rotationally anisotropic.

Abstract: An optically adjustable light module, such as a daytime running lamp of a motor vehicle, includes a housing. At least one light source is rotatable about a rotational axis and has an optical axis, the light source being disposed in an interior of the housing. A direction adjuster is disposed at an exterior of the housing. The housing is sealed against moisture. Movement of the direction adjuster rotates the light source about the rotational axis and adjusts a position of the optical axis.

Abstract: An optically adjustable light module, such as a daytime running lamp of a motor vehicle, includes a light source (e.g., including an LED) which is rotatable about a rotational axis and has an optical axis. An arm is connected to the light source such that movement of the arm enables rotation of the light source and adjustment of the optical axis.

Abstract: An automotive daytime running lamp assembly includes an incandescent light source received within a reflector member. The reflector member is formed as a surface of revolution about a longitudinal axis and has an enlarged, first end, and a narrowed, second end with an opening that receives at least a portion of a light source therethrough along the longitudinal axis. A sleeve is received over a portion of the light source and at least partially extends through the reflector member opening. A cap received over the second end of the reflector member about the opening is fixedly secured to a disk, preferably by fusing or welding the components together. Likewise, the disk and metal sleeve are fixedly secured or fused/welded together so that the light source is fixed relative to the reflector member. A mounting member is provided for secure optical positioning of the assembly in a fixture of the associated automotive vehicle.
