Patent ID: 7905639

Claim:
A vehicular lamp ( 10 ), comprising: a thermally conductive module ( 21 , 121 ) having a longitudinal axis and being insertable into a housing ( 20 ) along the longitudinal axis; a printed circuit board ( 41 , 141 ) in mechanical and thermal contact with the thermally conductive module ( 21 , 121 ), the printed circuit board ( 41 , 141 ) being oriented generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; at least one light emitting diode ( 44 , 144 ) mounted on the printed circuit board ( 41 , 141 ) and controlled electrically by the printed circuit board ( 41 , 141 ), the at least one light emitting diode to emit a diverging beam ( 12 ) generally parallel to the longitudinal axis; and a curved and faceted reflector ( 13 ) being constructed to receive the diverging beam ( 12 ) and to reflect a generally collimated beam ( 14 ) along the longitudinal axis; wherein the curvature of the reflector ( 13 ) collimates the received diverging beam ( 12 ); and each facet on the reflector ( 13 ) is constructed to angularly divert a corresponding portion of the reflected collimated beam ( 14 ) into a predetermined angular range.
