Patent ID: 8419231

Claim:
A light producing assembly for producing a controlled spread of light, comprising: an LED light source; an LED light cover; a TIR optic of solid transparent material mounted adjacent to said LED light source; a rear portion of said TIR optic comprising a generally conical cone of solid transparent material, with an apex at a first end, a circumvolving lower sidewall, with an LED pocket defined in said apex of said TIR optic, said rear portion comprising a midplane which passes through said LED pocket, with said LED pocket configured to surround an LED light source; a forward portion contiguous with said rear portion of said TIR optic comprising one or more light redirecting surfaces for redirecting light paths from said LED light source to limit light from said light assembly to light below said midplane of said TIR optic; wherein a forward portion upper surface angled to direct light via total internal reflectance from said light source so a minimal amount of light exits said forward portion upper surface and a maximal amount of light exits said light assembly below said midplane, for illuminating an area of roadway ahead and to the side, while limiting the light directed above said midplane of said TIR optic.
