Patent ID: 8733992

Claim:
A fog lamp ( 1 ) emitting light in a generally forward direction (Z), comprising: a light emitting diode (LED) ( 3 ) having an optical axis ( 8 ) generally parallel to the forward direction (Z); a refractive/TIR lens ( 4 ) receiving light directly from the LED ( 3 ) and producing converging light, the converging light converging to a focus (F) along the optical axis ( 8 ); a light baffle ( 5 ) disposed proximate the focus (F), the light baffle ( 5 ) having an aperture ( 55 ) centered on the optical axis ( 8 ) and elongated along a lateral direction (X), wherein the converging light that passes through the aperture ( 55 ) forms diverging light; and an anamorphic lens ( 6 ) having more optical power along a vertical direction (Y) than along the lateral direction (X), wherein the diverging light that passes through the anamorphic lens ( 6 ) forms an emergent beam, wherein the emergent beam has a wider divergence along the lateral direction (X) than along the vertical direction (Y).
