Patent ID: 8400286

Claim:
A distance lamp in passenger and/or goods traffic comprising a light field, which emits light in accordance with a luminous configuration, wherein the light field has a first and a second light source and provision is made of a control unit for controlling the luminous configuration of the light field, and the first and the second light sources are driven by the control unit and, by means of a control logic, the first and the second light sources are respectively assigned a temporally variable profile of light intensity thereof, wherein the light intensities of the first and of the second light sources are increased and decreased diametrically oppositely in each case at a predetermined time interval, and the luminous configuration of the light field is set with the aid of the control unit by control of the first and of the second light sources in a manner dependent on a first configuration parameter in such a way that the light field has an intensity which varies and has, for the eye of an average adult upon approaching the light field until reaching a predefined distance—dependent on the first configuration parameter—from the light field, a first luminous characteristic, which is characterized by a substantially constant light intensity, and, for the eye of an average adult, when the predefined distance from the light field is undershot, in accordance with a second luminous characteristic, the first light source is distinguished at least partly from the second light source and the alternately increasing and decreasing light intensity of the light sources of the light field is consciously perceptible, wherein the predefined distance is at least 0.5 meter from the light field.
