Description
VEHICLE ILLUMINATION LAMP WITH LIGHT CURTAIN/GUIDE
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an illumination lamp with light curtain which can fulfil characteristics of all rear stop lamp such as position, particularly stop, reverse gear, rear fog, rear signal and reflex reflector.
Background of the Invention
Today, filament lamps are used as light source in lighting devices such as stop lamps and LED's are used and devices are designed with LED by advancement of LED technology in recent years. In addition to these usages, light tube is used in part of position lamps due to the fact that the lighting values desired in the regulation are low.
The United States patent document no. US8511864B2 discloses a method and an apparatus characterized by providing an optical transfer function between a light source such as a LED with a predetermined energy distribution pattern and a predetermined illuminated surface pattern such as a street light pattern. A lens is formed having a shape defined by the said optical transfer function. The said optical transfer functio is derived by generating an energy distribution pattern using the predetermined energy distribution pattern of the light source. Then, the projection of the energy distribution pattern onto the illuminated surface is generated. The predetermined illuminated surface pattern is compared to the said projection to determine it acceptably matches. Summary of the Invention
l
An objective of the present invention is to realize an illumination lamp whereby a homogeneous and soft lighting effect is created in desired regions of lamps such as stop lamp and a illumination which does not reach the eye directly is realized through use of an inner lens called as light curtain and covering the product entirely.
Another objective of the present invention is to realize an illumination lamp whereby saving is provided in terms of LED use through use of inner lens and product cost is reduced. A further objective of the present invention is to realize an illumination lamp whereby the duty carried out by a plurality of LED's is fulfilled by the light curtain.
Another objective of the present invention is to realize an illumination lamp which is used as rear stop lamp.
Detailed Description of the Invention
"An illumination lamp with light curtain" realized to fulfill the objectives of the present invention is shown in the figures attached, in which:
Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of the inventive illumination lamp used as stop lamp.
