Abstract

A customizable modular lamp is made up of an outer lens customized by known per se techniques, which covers a housing provided with at least one recess in which is mounted a customizable module consisting of a retro-reflective lens under which there is an inner customized lens personalized by known per se techniques, under which there is a printed circuit board with LEDs that is held in a holder fastened to a cover provided with at least one element for ventilation. During the daylight, personalization is visible on the outer customized lens. In the darkness and—depending on the recipient's request—when activating the lights for changing direction, position or braking, customization becomes evident by lighting inside the lamp, on the surface of the inner customized lens.
