Abstract

A rear light for a motor vehicle has a light chamber for holding at least one lighting device for a flashing light and further has at least one light chamber which adjoins the light chamber for the flashing light and has the purpose of holding at least one lighting device for a reversing light, for holding at least one lighting device for a tail light, for holding at least one lighting device for a brake light and/or for holding at least one lighting device for a fog light. Wherein a plurality of LEDs are positioned in the light chamber for the flashing light and transmit light toward the rear for the flashing light. Accordingly, the rear light contains at least one LED which transmits light for the flashing light into a light chamber which is positioned adjacent to the light chamber for the flashing light.

Claims (12)

1 . A rear light for a motor vehicle, comprising:

a first light chamber;

at least one lighting device for projecting a flashing light, said at least one lighting device including a plurality of LEDs positioned in said first light chamber and transmitting light toward a rear for forming said flashing light;

at least one further lighting device selected from the group consisting of a reversing light, a tail light, a brake light, and a fog light; and

at least one second light chamber adjoining said first light chamber and holding said at least one further lighting device, at least one of said LEDs transmitting light for forming said flashing light projecting into said second light chamber positioned adjacent to said first light chamber.

2 . The rear light according to claim 1 , wherein said further lighting device is a reversing light disposed in said second light chamber, and said one of said LEDs transmits light for said flashing light into said second light chamber for said reversing light which is positioned adjacent to said first light chamber for said flashing light.

3 . The rear light according to claim 2 , wherein said second light chamber for said reversing light is positioned to a side of said first light chamber for said flashing light.

4 . The rear light according to claim 1 , wherein a transmission direction of said one of said LEDs which transmits light for said flashing light into said second light chamber which is adjacent to said first light chamber, is offset by an angle between 30° and 150° with respect to a transmission direction of other ones of said LEDs forming said flashing light.

5 . The rear light according claim 1 , wherein a transmission direction of said one of said LEDs transmitting light for said flashing light into said second light chamber which is adjacent to said first light chamber is offset by an angle between 45° and 135° with respect to a transmission direction of other ones of said LEDs for said flashing light.

6 . The rear light according to claim 1 , wherein a transmission direction of said one of said LEDs transmitting light for said flashing light into said second light chamber which is adjacent to said first light chamber is offset by an angle between 60° and 120° with respect to a transmission direction of other ones of said LEDs for said flashing light.

7 . The rear light according to claim 1 , wherein a transmission direction of said one of said LEDs transmitting light for said flashing light into said second light chamber which is adjacent to said first light chamber is offset by an angle of approximately 90° with respect to a transmission direction of other ones of said LEDs for said flashing light.

8 . The rear light according to claim 3 , wherein said second light chamber for said reversing light is positioned further inward with respect to a center of a vehicle when compared to said first light chamber for said flashing light.
