Baffled tri-region optic for an AFS vehicle headlamp

An automotive lighting system (41), comprising:

• a lens (34) to focus light (101) from a light source (10), the lens (34) including:
• a light-transmissive first region (64) being configured to receive a first portion of the light (100) from the light source (10) when energized and transmit the first portion of the light (100) though the lens (34);
• a light-transmissive second region (66) arranged adjacent to the light-transmissive first region (64), the light-transmissive second region (66) being configured to receive a second portion of the light (106) from the light source (10) when energized and transmit the second portion of the light (106) through the lens (34);
• a light-transmissive third region (68) arranged adjacent to the light-transmissive first region (64) and adjacent to the light-transmissive second region (66), the light-transmissive third region (68) being configured to receive a third portion of the light (112) from the light source (10) when energized and transmit the third portion of light (112) through the lens (34);
• and
• a baffle (70) including an opaque first member (72) disposed transverse to an opaque second member (74), the opaque first member (72) being disposed between the light-transmissive first region (64) and the light-transmissive second and third regions (66;
• 68), and the opaque second member (74) being disposed between the light-transmissive second region (66) and the light-transmissive third region (68);
• wherein the baffle (70) extends transverse to light receiving surfaces (98, 104, 110) of the light-transmissive first, second, and third regions (64, 66, 68), to obstruct a spreading of the light (101) between the light-transmissive first, second, and third regions (64, 66, 68).
