A lamp or blinker apparatus for a vehicle for saving power and providing a long life and for achieving miniaturization of a lamp body by using a light emitting diode as a light source. The lamp or blinker apparatus for a vehicle includes a front blinker having a light emitting diode as a light source in a lamp body, and a resistance circuit for adjusting the voltage to be applied to the light emitting diode. The resistance circuit is provided separately outside the lamp body. The lamp body case ...

A light emitting module (10) includes a metal circuit board (11), a number of light emitting units (12) arranged on a first surface of the metal circuit board, and a cooling system (13) mounted on an opposite second surface of the metal circuit board. A light source device (1) using the light emitting module further includes a housing (30) and a transparent light cover (20). The housing has a base with the light emitting module being mounted thereon. The transparent light cover covers the housin...

A lamp (10) has a housing (12) with a base (14) with an internal circumferential wall (16) arranged about a longitudinal axis (18). A hollow body (20) projects from the housing (12) and is symmetrically arrayed about the longitudinal axis (18). A light guide (21) is positioned in the hollow body (20) and as a single output end (22) arrayed along the longitudinal axis (18) and has a plurality of radially extending arms (23), each of the arms having an input end (24). The light guide (21) is prefe...

An illuminated exterior decorative device for vehicles includes a decorative part and an illuminating part. The illuminating part illuminates the decorative part from behind and includes a light source and a light diffusion portion. The light source of the illuminating part is embedded in the light diffusion portion. The light diffusion portion of the illuminating part is optically transmissive, preferably transparent. The light source is disposed along the edge of the decorative part. The light...

A vehicle headlamp structure includes a light distribution pattern having a horizontal cutoff line formed by a first reflecting optical system. The structure includes a first light source including a light emitting diode in which a rectangular light emitting chip is covered with a hemispherical mold lens, and a first reflector for reflecting a light emitted from the first light source toward a front part of a lighting unit. In that case, the first light source is provided in such a manner that t...

The lamp for generating light, comprises a semiconductor light emitting element for emitting light, a fluorescent material, provided away from the semiconductor light emitting element, a first optical member operable to focus the light generated by the semiconductor light emitting element on the fluorescent material; and a second optical member having an optical center at a position where the fluorescent material is provided, operable to emit light from the fluorescent material based on the ligh...

To provide a rear lamp unit for a vehicle which is provided with a desired cut pattern on an outer lens so that the light-emitting area can be increased. A rear lamp unit is provided with upper and lower outer lenses for guiding light emitted from light-emitting diodes to the outside the vehicle. The upper and lower inner lenses are provided between the light-emitting diodes and the upper and lower outer lenses, respectively, and the upper and lower inner lenses are disposed at locations apart f...

A lighting device for attachment to a motor vehicle inside a housing 4. One or more light emitting diodes 9 which emit substantially white light are employed as lighting emitters. On account of the small amount of waste heat of the light-emitting diodes 9 the lighting device can be particularly easily integrated into existing subassemblies of the motor vehicle, in particular into the outside mirrors, inside mirror, trim strips and door handles, and can serve to illuminate the region around the v...

A method is provided for replacing the incandescent bulb of a conventional vehicle warning assembly with a light-emitting diode (LED) array. The method includes the steps of removing the lens and conventional light bulb from the vehicle warning light assembly, accessing electrical leads and connecting them to an electrical connector of the LED array. The electrical connector of the LED array may be in the form of wires spliced to the electrical leads of the vehicle warning light assembly, or a b...

An auxiliary light ring device for a vehicular light includes a light collective ring, a secondary reflecting cover and a plurality of emitting objects. The light collective ring is secured around the vehicular light. The secondary reflecting cover is secured to the inner wall of the light collective ring and comprises a plurality of arc-shaped reflecting bowls. Each reflecting bowl receives an emitting object therein. The light from the emitting objects is reflected by the reflecting bowls and ...
