Abstract

Module d'éclairage comprenant :
- un émetteur (1) de lumière plan,
- un réflecteur (R1) déterminé de manière à créer dans un plan comprenant l'émetteur (1), une tache lumineuse (S) limitée par une courbe de contrôle (A) contenue dans le plan comprenant le premier émetteur et constituant le bord avant ou arrière de la tache ;
- une lentille (L) déterminée et agencée avec le réflecteur de manière à former le premier faisceau à coupure.

Lighting module comprising:
an emitter (1) of plane light,
a reflector (R1) determined so as to create, in a plane comprising the transmitter (1), a light spot (S) limited by a control curve (A) contained in the plane comprising the first emitter and constituting the front edge; or back of the stain;
a lens (L) determined and arranged with the reflector so as to form the first cut-off beam.
