Side loading LED module for motor vehicle rear assembled lamp

Abstract

The invention discloses a side loading LED module for rear assembled lamp mounted of assembled lamp mounted on the rear part of a motor vehicle. One or more LED are mounted on remote side of a printed circuit board with a circuit that drives the one or more LED. A circuit board and a heat yielding pad are fixed onto a heat radiator by screw thread or rivets, then the heat radiator is mounted on lateral face of an outer housing. The LED emits astigmatism in the outer housing. One surface of the outer housing is multi-faceted parabolic reflector, which receives divergent light from the LED, and reflects the collimated light beam to foreside of the outer housing vertically, and there ejaculated from the lamp through a transparent cover. Each facet on the parabolic reflector makes part of the reflected light beam off set angularly, and reflected light is collimating with angle wider than single collimated light beam.

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority under the provisions of Title 35, United States Code, Section 119e, of Provisional Application 61 / 056,738, filed May 28, 2008, entitled "SIDE ENTRY LED LIGHT MODULE FORAUTOMOTIVE REAR COMBINATION LAMP," with The contents thereof are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference. Thus, the full Paris Convention priority is expressly reserved. technical field [0003] The invention relates to rear combination lamps for motor vehicle lighting systems. Background technique [0004] For many years, motor vehicles have employed electric lighting for many functions. For example, lights provide forward lighting (headlights, auxiliary lights), alerting (front parking lights, rear tail lights), signaling (turn signals, hazard, brake lights, reverse lights) and convenience, just to name a few applications (Dome lighting, Instrument lighting). Historically, incandescent bulbs have been use...

Problems solved by technology

[0025] A potential disadvantage of the illumination systems of these three references is the use of two separate elements to first collimate and then reflect the beam

These individual elements are expensive to manufacture, expensive and time-consuming to align, and may introduce unnecessary losses into the optical system (i.e., some light may be absorbed, reflected, and / or scattered in the output beam by multiple elements)
