Abstract: A vehicle roof lighting unit for illuminating an interior compartment of the vehicle. The unit includes one or more direct light emitting elements, wherein each of the direct light emitting elements are configured to illuminate a portion of the interior compartment, and wherein the one or more direct light emitting elements are located on the exterior of the vehicle roof lighting unit. The unit also includes one or more indirect light emitting elements for providing general lighting for the entire interior compartment, wherein the one or more indirect light emitting elements are concealed from view and the light from the one or more indirect light emitting elements reflects off a curved reflective structure. The unit further includes a control panel, wherein the control panel is located on the exterior of the vehicle roof lighting unit.

Abstract: A lighting system includes a lighting apparatus provided along one side of an aisle and a specular reflection plate provided along the other side of the aisle to reflect the light emitted from the lighting apparatus toward a region where the lighting apparatus is provided. According to the above configuration, the lighting apparatus can illuminate the region where the lighting apparatus is provided. Therefore, it is possible to effectively illuminate a cabin of an aircraft with less lighting apparatuses as compared to conventional lighting apparatuses which are provided along both sides of the aisle. Moreover, since the number of the lighting apparatuses can be reduced, it is possible to improve fuel efficiency of the aircraft by reducing the total weight of the aircraft.

Abstract: A side-view mirror assembly for a vehicle, the side-view mirror assembly comprising: a housing for securement to a side of a vehicle, the housing defining an internal cavity opening toward a rear of the housing; a mirror disposed in the internal cavity, the mirror comprising a reflective element substantially occupying and being visible through the opening of the housing, and the reflective element supported on a first surface of a backplate, the backplate including at least one light-transmissive portion positioned proximate a peripheral edge of the reflective element; and one or more light sources disposed within the housing and operable to selectively illuminate the at least one light-transmissive portion so that the illumination is visible from outside the side-view mirror assembly in an area defined between the peripheral edge of the reflective element and the opening of the housing.

Abstract: A light module, a light-module carrier and an illumination system for an aircraft, which allow intelligent illumination and at the same time easy reconfiguration of cabin illumination. The light module provides information relating to its characteristics, while a control system determines a position of the light module on a light-module carrier, and on the basis of the determined position and of the characteristics of the light module adjusts the light module by way of a bus system of the light-module carrier according to a desired illumination.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method of its use to temporarily or permanently display decorations, signs or lighting. The device is especially suited for displaying from a structure, such as under the eave of a house. The inventive device is capable of conveniently rotating an attached display or lighting arrangement in and out of view, at will. It is particularly useful for the permanent display of holiday decorations, including string-lights and to display them during the holidays but remove them from sight during the remainder of the year.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an illumination strip for illuminating a handrail recess that itself at the same time forms a handrail; to a hatrack for installation in an aircraft cabin with a correspondingly designed handrail recess that at least in sections can be illuminated; as well as to the use of an illumination strip or a hatrack in an aircraft. The illumination strip comprises a carrier module for accommodating the illumination unit and illumination units accommodated by the carrier module. The carrier module is strip shaped and includes a positive locking member to secure the carrier module of the illumination strip into the handrail in an exchangeable manner.

Abstract: Interior lighting and illumination systems for aircraft, particularly commercial passenger airplanes. Efficient beam forming optical light emitting diode arrangements having offset apertures for maximizing effectiveness are positioned in the ceiling panels above the aisles between sets of seats in the passenger cabins for cross bin illumination of stowage areas. The efficient beam forming optical LED devices are positioned to shine on opposite storage/stowage bins and are positioned to overcome line of height light source restrictions such as may be imposed by a valence. The devices are effective for illuminating across the aisles, thus creating a cross-bin lighting system.

Abstract: An article carrier apparatus for a vehicle includes a cross rail interconnected to an exterior surface of the vehicle, a heat sink positioned within the cross rail, and a light source positioned within the cross rail. The light source is thermally connected to the heat sink such that the heat sink will absorb at least a portion of the heat generated by operation of the light source. The cross rail will structurally support an article attached to the exterior of a vehicle.

Abstract: A lighting arrangement for public transport vehicles comprising a light source and a reflective surface for reflecting light emitted from the light source to a passenger cabin in a public transport vehicle, whereby the upper part of the passenger cabin in the public transport vehicle substantially comprises an upper structure arranged above the seats of the passenger cabin, the structure comprises one or more handrails in the passenger cabin, and the light source is arranged inside the handrail of the upper structure in the public transport vehicle, and the handrail comprises one or more light-permeable apertures, and the handrail apertures are arranged to direct the light generated from the light source to the upper structure of the passenger cabin in the public transport vehicle, the upper structure being arranged to function as the reflective surface for providing the passenger cabin with indirect lighting.

Abstract: A shelf for bus wherein shelf brackets are fitted into first and second rails to enable the shelf brackets to be uniformly intervened therebetween, thereby allowing shelf plates to be identical in length thereof thus, reducing production cost. A lens is rotably and slidably opened and closed relative to a shelf plate, enabling easy replacement of the lens and lamp. The shelf includes a first rail extensively secured lengthwise to a roof frame of the bus, a second rail securely installed at a side panel of a bus interior in the same length as that of the first rail, a shelf bracket formed at both ends thereof with a first and a second fitting part and secured at the first and second rails for sliding while fitted into the first and the second rails, and a shelf plate fixed at an upper surface of the shelf bracket.

Abstract: A multi-spectral uniform light source provides a single light source for a variety of applications. The gas or gases inside the light source may be exchanged for another gas or gases depending on the desired application and need for a particular wavelength of emitted light.

Abstract: A flexible headlamp position adjusting assembly 10 employs flexible cable 14, 14' connected to a drive member 12 and the adjusting member 16. Adjusting member 16 is slidably received within housing 18 for movement and adjustment of a movable frame 26 of a headlamp. Advantageously, drive member 12 may be situated remotely from the moveable frame and/or housing 18 to allow drive member 12 to be positioned in an accessible area for control of adjusting member 16.

Abstract: A truck bed is provided including a truck having a bed with a peripheral side wall which defines an open top and upper peripheral edge. At least one light assembly is mounted on the side wall for illuminating the bed of the truck.
