- the reflector 6 has two reflecting surfaces each associated with a light source.
- the folder 8 is made on a metal part, preferably a monolithic part.
- the folder 8 is provided with lower 70 and upper 71 reflecting faces (see Figure 3 in particular), being connected by forming a bevel having an acute angle, this angle being in particular less than 15 °, or even less than 5 °, or lower at 2 ° or even less than 1 °.
- the folder 8 is formed on a monolithic piece, namely made in one piece, preferably metal to ensure in particular a better thermal resistance against heat from the light source or the device or the sun.
- the folder 8 has a cutoff edge 74, with a step 75 (see Figure 1).
- the folder 8 is formed on a part arranged at a non-zero distance from the heat exchanger 4.
- the folder 8 has front and rear edges 78, preferably substantially parallel, and in particular substantially rectilinear, the reflecting faces 70 and 71 of the folder 8 extending between these edges 78, which are in particular perpendicular to the optical axis x of the module.
