Abstract

An adaptive light beam unit attachable to a vehicle including: At least one light engine assembly, wherein the at least one light engine assembly includes at least one light engine, the at least one light engine includes at least one light source and at least one reflector adapted to reflect light emitted from the at least one light source to form a light beam; At least one sensor for measuring angle of rotation of the vehicle; At least one motor connected to the at least one light engine assembly for changing a projection angle of the light beam; At least one controller operatively connected to the least one light engine assembly and the at least one sensor, whereby the at least one controller receives information on the angle of rotation of the vehicle, and drives the at least one electrical motor to maintain or alter the projection angle of the light beam such that a desired lighting positioning is obtained based on a pre-determined scenario.

IPC Classes  ?

• B60Q 1/08 - Arrangement of optical signalling or lighting devices, the mounting or supporting thereof or circuits therefor the devices being primarily intended to illuminate the way ahead or to illuminate other areas of way or environments the devices being headlights adjustable, e.g. remotely-controlled from inside vehicle automatically
• B60Q 1/115 - Arrangement of optical signalling or lighting devices, the mounting or supporting thereof or circuits therefor the devices being primarily intended to illuminate the way ahead or to illuminate other areas of way or environments the devices being headlights adjustable, e.g. remotely-controlled from inside vehicle automatically due to vehicle inclination, e.g. due to load distribution by electric means
• F21S 41/60 - Illuminating devices specially adapted for vehicle exteriors, e.g. headlamps characterised by a variable light distribution
• F21S 41/30 - Illuminating devices specially adapted for vehicle exteriors, e.g. headlamps characterised by reflectors
