Abstract

A day running lamp includes a laser light source, a light splitting element, a number of light path adjusting elements, a number of scattering elements, and a lampshade. The laser light source is configured for emitting a single laser beam, and the splitting element is configured for splitting the single laser beam into a number of divided beams. Each of the light path adjusting elements is configured for adjusting a light path of corresponding divided beams into parallel beams. The scattering elements are configured for diffusing the parallel divided beams onto the lampshade.

Claims (30)

1. A day running lamp comprising:

a laser light source being configured for emitting a laser beam;

a light splitting element, the light splitting element being arranged on a light outputting path of the laser light source and configured for splitting the laser beam emitted from the laser light source into a plurality of divided beams;

a plurality of light path adjusting elements, each of the light path adjusting element being arranged in the transmission direction of the corresponding divided beam and configured for adjusting the light path of the divided beam into parallel to the laser beam from the laser light source;

a plurality of scattering elements, the scattering element are arranged in parallel and at intervals and configured for receiving the paralleled divided beams and diffusing the divided beams; and

a lampshade being arranged on light outputting paths of the scattering elements, and the diffused laser beams reach the lampshade.

2. The day running lamp of claim 1 , wherein the laser light source is a laser diode.

3. The day running lamp of claim 2 , wherein each of the light path adjusting element is a reflector.

4. The day running lamp of claim 3 , wherein each of the scattering elements is a concave lens.
