Abstract:
A light source is provided that includes at least two semiconductor light-emitting elements that emit light of different color, a light guide, an electronic control unit, and a light sensor. The light emitted by the elements is injected, at least partially, into the light guide and exits laterally from the light guide. The brightness of the elements can be adjusted by the electronic control unit. The light sensor is arranged to receive the light injected by the elements and laterally exiting from the light guide. The electronic control unit accumulates sensor signals from the light sensor over an integration time interval and compares the accumulated signals with a target value or range to determine a difference, changes a brightness of the elements in response to the difference, and changes the integration time interval in response to the difference or to a change in the target value.

Claim (Index 15):
The light source as in  claim 14 , wherein the light sensor comprises a first light sensor and a second light sensor, wherein the first and second light sensors are is associated with a respective one of the two end faces so that the first and second light sensors receive a greater proportion of the light injected into the end face the light sensor is associated with, and wherein the electronic control unit is configured to control the two semiconductor light-emitting elements at each of the end faces independently from each other and on the basis of the sensor signals of the light sensor associated with the respective end face.
