Abstract:
A lighting apparatus may be provided for an interior trim piece of a motor vehicle. The lighting apparatus comprises a light guide strip, comprising at least one light-entry face and a light-exit face, which each extend along a longitudinal direction of the light guide strip, and at least two end sides, lying opposite one another and respectively adjoining the light-entry face or light-exit face. A plurality of point light sources are arranged at the light-entry face. Moreover, the light sources are arranged at an unchanging light source spacing from one another. Here, a boundary spacing between a respective end side and a light source arranged closest to the respective end side corresponds to at most half the light source spacing. Moreover, the light guide strip has, at least in portions, a boundary structuring for at least partial output coupling of light at the end sides.

Claim (Index 12):
A lighting apparatus, comprising:\n a light guide strip comprising a light-entry face and a light-exit face, that each extend in a longitudinal direction of the light guide strip, and comprising at least two opposing end sides, each respectively adjoining the light-entry face and the light-exit face, a plurality of point light sources arranged in a row along the light-entry face, wherein\n the light sources are arranged to have a uniform light source spacing between one another, the light source spacing corresponding to 0.7 to 1.3 times a distance from the light-entry face to the light-exit face, \n a boundary spacing between at least one of the end sides and at least one of the light sources arranged closest to the at least one of the end sides corresponds to at most half the light source spacing, and \n the light guide strip has a boundary structuring configured to output light at the end sides.
