Patent ID: 8714793

Claim:
A headlight ( 20 ) having a low-beam housing ( 31 ), the low-beam housing ( 31 ) having a generally horizontal longitudinal axis ( 39 ), the low-beam housing ( 31 ) receiving light from an LED array ( 33 ) and delivering the light to a transmissive lens ( 32 ), a receiving face of the lens ( 32 ) and an emission face of the LED array ( 33 ) both having generally rectangular perimeters with generally horizontal and vertical peripheral edges, the low-beam housing ( 31 ) comprising: a top inward-facing reflector ( 12 ) extending from a top peripheral edge of the LED array ( 33 ) to a top peripheral edge of the lens ( 32 ); two lateral inward-facing reflectors ( 2 , 10 ), each lateral inward-facing reflector ( 2 , 10 ) extending from a side peripheral edge of the LED array ( 33 ) to a corresponding side peripheral edge of the lens ( 32 ), each lateral inward-facing reflector ( 2 , 10 ) intersecting the top inward-facing reflector ( 12 ) along a curve ( 1 , 11 ); and a first upward-facing reflector ( 34 ) extending away from the LED array ( 33 ) toward the lens ( 32 ), the first upward-facing reflector ( 34 ) being generally planar, generally horizontal, and disposed below the longitudinal axis ( 39 ); wherein the first upward-facing reflector ( 34 ) receives low-beam light from the LED array ( 33 ) and reflects the low-beam light upward toward the lens ( 32 ) and toward the top inward-facing reflector ( 12 ).
