Abstract:
A high beam headlight for a vehicle, said high beam headlight comprisinga light source (12) including means for propagating light; anda reflector (10) arranged to reflect the light propagated from said light source and to form a high beam light beam for illumination of the surroundings of the vehicle to produce maximum illumination intensities which do not exceed first predetermined maximum illumination intensity values when all of the light propagated from said light source reaches said reflector; anda screen device (20,30) insertable into the high beam headlight, wherein a portion of the light propagated from said light source directed towards peripheral edge regions of said reflector (10) is blocked by said screen device so that the maximum illumination intensities of the high beam light beam emitted by the high beam headlight with said screen device inserted do not exceed second predetermined maximum illumination intensity values that are less than said first given maximum illumination intensity values.
