Abstract: A fog lamp for use in an automobile includes a plurality of reflectors each sharing a common focus point, a light emitting diode array positioned at the common focus point, and a circular, non-optic window. The window fits through a standard-sized opening in an automobile fascia substantially two inches in diameter. The reflectors include a central reflector, a pair of lateral reflectors surrounding the central reflector and angled toward a center axis of the fog lamp, and a pair of converging reflectors surrounding the lateral reflectors and angled more sharply toward the center axis of the fog lamp. The central reflector and lateral reflectors produce beams of reflected light through the outer circumference of the window. The converging reflectors produce beams of reflected light converging at a secondary focus point within the fog lamp and transmitting through the window.

Abstract: A spot lamp includes a base including a front surface. A circuit board is positioned within the base. A laser light source is electrically coupled to the circuit board. A plurality of light sources are electrically coupled to the circuit board. The light sources are arranged around the laser light source. The circuit board operates at least one of the laser light source and the plurality of light sources.

Abstract: A fog lamp for use in an automobile includes a light source, a reflector, and a condenser lens. The front surface of the condenser lens includes an emission region and two diffusion regions. The diffusion regions have a surface treatment that diffuses transmitted light, such as knurling, frosting, texturing, or pillowing. Light emitted by the light source is directed by the reflector through the condenser lens and exits the condenser lens through the emission region. Light that enters the condenser lens through one of the diffusion regions from outside of the lamp, such as solar light, is diffused and reduced in intensity. The diffusion regions may be positioned relative to a back surface of the lens to cause the diffused light to be reflected due to total internal reflection. The diffused light may exit the lens through the other diffusion region and become further diffused and reduced in intensity.

Abstract: A method of illumination includes energizing a light source of a lighting apparatus to emit a plurality of light rays. The method also includes directing a first light ray of the plurality of light rays into a first upper passageway. The method also includes directing a second light ray of the plurality of light rays into a first lower passageway. The method also includes redirecting the first light ray from the first upper passageway into a second upper passageway. The method also includes redirecting the second light ray from the second upper passageway into a second lower passageway.

Abstract: A combination lamp for use in a vehicle includes a number of reflector modules, with each reflector module including a reflector, a first light emitting diode (“LED”) positioned at a focus of the reflector, and a second LED offset from the focus of the reflector. The lamp may also include another reflector module having a reflector and a single, common LED positioned at a focus of the reflector. When the first LEDs and the common LED are energized, the combination lamp produces a first light pattern. When the second LEDs and the common LED are energized, the combination lamp produces a second light pattern. The first light pattern may be a fog lamp light pattern, and the second light pattern may be a daytime running lamp light pattern. The combination lamp may include four, five, or more reflector modules, including the one reflector module having the single, common LED.
