Patent ID: 6846101

Claim:
An automotive lamp assembly comprising: a main reflector generally the form of a shell defining an enclosed volume, and having a reflective interior surface generally facing in a forward axial direction towards an opening, the main reflector having an optical depth being the maximal distance along the axis between transverse planes intercepting the reflective surface; and having a reflector radius being the maximal distance transverse to the axis from the axis to the reflective surface; wherein the ratio R of the optical radius to the optical depth is greater than 2; one or more LEDs positioned within the enclosed volume and about the axis to generally face in the forward direction; an intermediate reflector, located along the axis forward of the one or more LEDs, the intermediate reflector having a reflective surface, the reflective surface generally facing opposite the forward direction with normals ranging between 0 degrees to 90 degrees with respect to rearward axis, and wherein the intermediate reflector is supported by two or more posts offset from the axis.
