Lamp unit comprising a shield having at least one light window

1. A lighting unit for a motor vehicle headlight or other headlight, the lighting unit comprising:

at least two light sources ( 1 a , 1 b );

at least one reflector ( 2 a , 2 b ), which delimits two light chambers ( 3 a , 3 b );

a bezel ( 4 ); and

a projection lens ( 5 ) having an optical axis (A);

wherein a first light chamber ( 3 a ) of the two light chambers ( 3 a , 3 b ) is arranged on an upper side of the bezel ( 4 ) and a second light chamber ( 3 b ) of the two light chambers ( 3 a , 3 b ) is arranged on an underside of the bezel ( 4 ), wherein at least one light source ( 1 a , 1 b ) of the at least two light sources ( 1 a , 1 b ) is arranged within each of the two light chambers ( 3 a , 3 b ), wherein the bezel ( 4 ) extends substantially as far as a focal plane (E) of the projection lens ( 5 ) in order to produce a sharp light/dark boundary in a light exposure produced by the lighting unit, wherein the bezel ( 4 ) has at least one light window ( 7 a , 7 b ), wherein at least one first light path ( 8 a , 8 b , 8 c , 8 d ) extends outwardly from one of the two light chambers ( 3 a , 3 b ), through the at least one light window ( 7 a , 7 b ), and through the projection lens ( 5 ),

wherein the bezel ( 4 ) has at least two bezel portions ( 4 a , 4 b , 4 c ) delimiting the at least one light window ( 7 a , 7 b ), wherein at least one bezel portion ( 4 a , 4 b , 4 c ) of the at least two bezel portions ( 4 a , 4 b , 4 c ) is disposed at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis and has a reflective surface configured to deflect at least one second light path ( 8 a , 8 b , 8 c , 8 d ) in a direction of the optical axis (A) of the projection lens ( 5 ), wherein the at least one light window ( 7 a , 7 b ) comprises two light windows ( 7 a , 7 b ), wherein each of the two light windows ( 7 a , 7 b ) is assigned a light path ( 8 a , 8 b , 8 c , 8 d ), which extend outwardly through the two light windows ( 7 a , 7 b ) and through the projection lens ( 5 ),

wherein the bezel ( 4 ) has a first, a second, and a third bezel portion ( 4 a , 4 b , 4 c ), wherein the second bezel portion ( 4 b ) is formed in a lamella-like manner and a first light window ( 7 a ) for a first light path ( 8 a ) is formed between the first and the second bezel portion ( 4 a , 4 b ), and a second light window ( 7 b ) for a second light path ( 8 b ) is formed between the second and the third bezel portion ( 4 b , 4 c ), wherein the two light chambers ( 3 a , 3 b ) are arranged on the upper side and underside of the first bezel portion ( 4 a ).

2. The lighting unit of claim 1 , wherein the bezel ( 4 ) has a reflective surface, at least in part.

3. The lighting unit of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first light path ( 8 a , 8 b , 8 c , 8 d ) through the at least one light window ( 7 a , 7 b ) runs outwardly exclusively from the second light chamber ( 3 b ) located on the underside of the bezel ( 4 ), through the at least one light window ( 7 a , 7 b ), through the projection lens ( 5 ).

4. The lighting unit of claim 1 , wherein the at least one light window ( 7 a , 7 b ) is formed as a cutout in the bezel ( 4 ).

5. The lighting unit of claim 1 , wherein the at least one light window ( 7 a , 7 b ) comprises of a light-permeable dimensionally stable material.

6. The lighting unit of claim 1 , wherein the second bezel portion ( 4 b ) is designed to deflect the second light path ( 8 b ) in the direction of the optical axis (A) of the projection lens ( 5 ).

7. A motor vehicle comprising at least one lighting unit of claim 1 .
