An interim tail light cover has a colored translucent body of red or amber, and snaps onto a taillight when the original lens or colored cover of the tail light has been broken or removed so that the light emitted light retains its red or amber color as is appropriate.

In one embodiment (100), a combination is provided comprising a light shield (6) having a hollow cup-like configuration having an open-end (8) and a closed end (10) having a hollow open-end heat shield (12) nested or positioned therewithin and separated therefrom by an open air gap disposed thereabout such that light rays emitted from a heat and light emitting source (32) are able to pass through heat shield (12) and impact and upon closed end (10) of light shield (6) to reduce glare to a viewer while being cooled by the heat sink provided by heat shield (12).In another embodiment (200), a hollow heat shield (26) having an open-end (28) and a closed end (30) is supported within light shield (6) such that the light rays from the heat and light emitting source (32) impact upon closed end (30) of heat shield (26) rather than closed end (10) of light shield (6).

A paraboloidal effective reflecting surface of a reflector is divided into an upper effective reflecting surface for forming a preset pattern of the low beam and a lower effective reflecting surface for forming a preset pattern for supplementing the pattern. First shades for forming clear cutting lines of the low beams is disposed close to an arc tube as a light source. The glare caused by the reflection of light on the upper effective reflecting surface is reduced. The resultant clear cutting lines are sharp. The second shades, which are provided outside the first shades, cut the light beams that pass above the first shades and direct to the partition lines (stepped parts). As a result, no glare is caused by the reflection of light at the partition lines.

A vehicular headlamp that provides near-ultraviolet illumination of desired areas but which assures that sufficient brightness can be obtained in areas illuminated with visible light without having to combine the lamp with another type of headlamp. The headlamp includes a light-emitting unit accommodated in a lamp housing including a substantially parabolic reflector, a discharge bulb mounted inside the reflector to generate both visible light components and ultraviolet rays, and a light-emitting lens disposed in front of the reflector to irradiate the light reflected from the reflector in the forward direction. In addition, a bandpass filter adapted to absorptively remove visible light components and permit at least near-ultraviolet rays to pass therethrough is disposed in a light path other than the light path for the low-beam light conducted to the light emitting lens from the reflector so that a low-beam illuminating area is illuminated by both visible light components and near-ultraviolet rays to maintain sufficient brightness in the foregoing region. On the other hand, an illuminating area located above a clear cut line is illuminated mainly by the near-ultraviolet rays.

A high voltage electric-discharge lamp is used as a light source of a headlight device for use in an automobile vehicle. Light from the discharge lamp is reflected on the curved surface of a reflector disposed at a back side of the discharge lamp, and projected forward. To reduce high frequency electromagnetic noises emitted forward from the device, which interfere with radios and televisions mounted on a vehicle driven ahead, a shade to intercept light emitted directly forward from the discharge lamp is disposed in front of the discharge lamp, and the shade is grounded. To further enhance noise reduction effects, a second grounding passage is provided. The second grounding passage is formed by grounding terminals attached to the shade and a wire connecting the terminals to the ground. Other components constituting the headlight device may be also grounded to secure a higher shielding effect. The electromagnetic noises interfering with radios and televisions mounted on a vehicle driving ahead are sufficiently reduced to a harmless level.
摘要:
A reflecting surface 22, of a reflector 16, includes a first reflecting surface region 22A which is a substantially upper half of the reflecting surface with respect to the optical axis AX of the reflector. The first reflecting surface region 22A reflects light to form a sub light flux distribution pattern P. The reflecting surface 22 also includes a second reflecting surface region 22B, which is located below the optical axis Ax of the reflector. The second reflecting surface region 22B reflects light to form a wide diffusion-distribution pattern Pw in a part of the light-distribution subpattern P near the vehicle. The wide diffusion-distribution pattern PW has a horizontal diffusion angle larger than the maximum horizontal diffusion angle of the light-distribution subpattern P.

A vehicle headlamp comprises: a discharge bulb; and a reflector having a reflecting surface including a plurality of reflecting surface elements to reflect the output light of the discharge bulb forwardly, wherein an sub light distribution pattern having an oblique cut line and a horizontal cut light is formed by controlling light reflected from the reflecting surface elements. Of the plurality of reflecting surface elements, oblique cut line forming reflecting surface elements, and horizontal cut line forming reflecting surface elements extend above the lines of intersection between the reflecting surface and an inclined surface which passes through the optical axis of the reflector and has an angle of elevation of 15.degree..
摘要:
A vehicle lamp includes an amber light bulb covered with a cup-shaped colorless transparent cap, thus emitting an amber light beam. A colorless, transparent, plain lens is employed. Furthermore, the inner surface of the cylindrical portion of the transparent cap is formed into a plurality of side steps, and the inner surface of the front end portion of the transparent cap is shaped into a Fresnel lens, and the outer surface of the front end portion is shaped into a plurality of fisheye lenses, which makes it more difficult to see the amber light bulb. Therefore, the vehicle lamp appears deep and glittering.
摘要:
The vehicle headlamp uses a light shield with a interior surface with a rough, black ceramic coating. The ceramic surface absorbs almost all the visible light shone on it. The surface is highly resistant to the heat generated by the light absorption, and the roughness breaks up visible light images in any small amount of reflected light. The ceramic material does not outgas or deteriorate so as to leave a film on the other lamp elements.
