Multi-color or multi-function LED vehicle light assembly
View Patent ↗A vehicle light assembly may be made from a lamp having a plurality of LED light sources arrayed circumferentially around the lamp; a reflector body having a reflector axis generally directed to a field to be illuminated. A plurality of reflective surfaces is formed on the front side, the respective reflective surfaces separated by one or more axially extending walls. A through passage is formed in the reflector body, sized and shaped to receive a portion of the lamp, and intersecting a planar extension of at least one of the axially extending walls separating a first reflective surface from a second reflective surface. The planar extension intersects the lamp between a first LED and a second LED whereby light form the first LED substantially shines toward the first reflective surface and the light from the second LED shines toward the second reflective surface.
1. A vehicle light assembly comprising:
a single lamp having a distal end and a plurality of LED light sources arrayed circumferentially around the distal end;
a reflector body having a reflector axis extending from a back side of the reflector body to a front side of the reflector body generally directed to a field to be illuminated, a plurality of reflective surfaces formed on the front side of the reflector body, the respective surfaces separated by one or more axially extending walls, and a through passage formed in the reflector body, sized and shaped to receive at least a portion of the lamp, intersecting a planar extension of at least one of the axially extending walls separating a first reflective surface from a second reflective surface, the planar extension intersecting the lamp between at least a first LED and at least a second LED whereby light from the first LED substantially shines toward the first reflective surface and the light from the second LED substantially shines toward the second reflective surface.
2. The lamp assembly in claim 1 , wherein the reflective body is divided between a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface by a respective intermediate axially extending wall, and the lamp includes one or more LEDs of a first color directed to the first reflective body and one or more LED of a second color directed to the second reflective surface.
3. The lamp assembly in claim 1 , wherein the reflective body is divided between a first set of reflective surfaces and a second set of reflective surfaces by a respective intermediate axially extending wall, and the lamp includes one or more sets of LEDs of a first color directed to the first set of reflective surfaces and a second set of LEDs of a second color directed to the second set of reflective surfaces.
4. The lamp assembly in claim 1 , wherein the through passage is formed in a central surface of the reflector body and a plurality of axial extending walls radiate from the through passage towards a circumferential edge of the reflector body dividing the reflector body into a plurality of reflective surfaces.
5. The lamp assembly in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of walls forms similar angles between adjacent walls.
6. The lamp assembly in claim 1 , wherein the lamp includes a base end, an extended middle section extending from the base end along a lamp axis to a distal end and the LEDs are circumferentially arrayed around a portion of the distal end.
