Patent ID: 7401960

Claim:
A headlamp, comprising: a plurality of light emitting diodes, each diode being adapted to produce a plurality of light rays; a housing formed of a material for transferring heat away from said plurality of light emitting diodes; an outer light transmissive member with an inner and outer face, said outer light transmissive member adapted to engage with said housing to define a three-dimensional space therebetween; at least one inner light transmissive member adjacent to said outer light transmissive member, said at least one inner light transmissive member being adapted to direct a portion of said light rays produced by one of said plurality of light emitting diodes towards said outer light transmissive member; at least one alignment mechanism, wherein said at least one inner light transmissive member is fixedly secured to said at least one alignment mechanism such that said at least one inner light transmissive member is aligned generally parallel to said outer light transmissive member and in front of said array of light emitting diodes; a unitary reflector subassembly positioned within said space, said reflector subassembly including an array of parabolic reflector units, each reflector unit having a base portion with an opening formed therein for accommodating one diode of said plurality of light emitting diodes, each of said unitary reflector units being adapted to direct a portion of said light rays directly through said outer light transmissive member; and a driver circuit with a current regulation mechanism.
