Abstract

Vorgestellt wird ein Kraftfahrzeugscheinwerfer (10) mit einer Lichtquelle (12) und wenigstens zwei optischen Elementen (14, 16), die dazu eingerichtet sind, Licht der Lichtquelle (12) in vorbestimmter Weise zu verteilen, wobei ein erstes optisches Element (14) in einem vergleichsweise großen Abstand (d_14) zur Lichtquelle (12) angeordnet ist und ein zweites optisches Element (16) in einem vergleichsweise kleinen Abstand (d_16) zur Lichtquelle (12) so angeordnet ist, dass sich eine vom dem ersten optischen Element (14) erzeugte Lichtverteilung (LV_14) und eine vom zweiten optischen Element (16) erzeugte Lichtverteilung (LV_16) überlappen.

Disclosed is a motor vehicle headlight (10) having a light source (12) and at least two optical elements (14, 16) which are adapted to distribute light from the light source (12) in a predetermined manner, wherein a first optical element (14) in a relatively large distance (d_14) to the light source (12) is arranged and a second optical element (16) at a comparatively small distance (d_16) to the light source (12) is arranged so that one of the first optical element (14) generated light distribution (LV_14) and a light generated by the second optical element (16) light distribution (LV_16) overlap.
