Abstract:
A vehicle light having an optical axis and a multi-reflex optical system, comprising:a light source; at least one first elliptic group reflecting surface shaped as an approximate half of an elliptical surface, and having a longitudinal axis oriented in substantially the same direction as the optical axis of the vehicle light, a first focus located in the vicinity of the light source and a second focus located substantially along the longitudinal axis; two second elliptic group reflecting surfaces shaped as approximate halves of elliptical surfaces, each of the second elliptic group reflecting surfaces having a longitudinal axis that is approximately orthogonal to the optical axis of the vehicle light, a first focus located in the vicinity of the light source and a second focus located substantially along the longitudinal axis; and two third parabolic group reflecting surfaces, each having a focus located in the vicinity of a respective one of the second foci of the two second elliptic group reflecting surfaces, and an optical axis that is substantially parallel to the optical axis of the vehicle light.
