Abstract:
A lamp for a motor vehicle, having a housing in which at least first and second light sources are arranged and having a light pane that covers an opening of the housing,wherein said first light source comprises a plurality of substantially identical first light-emitting diodes, with an illumination field formed by the plurality of substantially identical first light-emitting diodes producing a basic light-intensity distribution within said illumination field, said basic light-intensity distribution having a basic pattern varying substantially evenly throughout the illumination field, wherein said second light source has a structure significantly different from that of said first light source, including at least one second light-emitting diode that has a substantially higher optical output power than each of said first light-emitting diodes producing an additional light-intensity distribution in a predetermined spatial angle of said illumination field, that is substantially less than 100% of said illumination field, wherein said basic light-intensity distribution and said additional light-intensity distribution are added to each other so that within the illumination field a predetermined total light-intensity distribution is obtained having a total pattern varying substantially evenly throughout the illumination field except at said spatial angle where said total pattern significantly protrudes outwardly from said basic pattern.
