Lighting device with narrow light emitting area

Alighting device, comprising:

• a housing, the housing comprising:
• reflective side walls;
• a cavity formed between the reflective side walls;
• a light-emitting element configured to emit light into the cavity, a width of the cavity expanding from the light-emitting element towards an opening of the cavity;
• and
• a reflective element covering at least a section of the opening to conform to an automotive signal, the reflective element configured to reflect the light towards the cavity, at least a portion of the housing being flexible.

A method for producing a lighting device, the method comprising:

• providing a housing with reflective side walls to have a cavity between the reflective side walls and an opening of the cavity forming a light-emitting area, at least a portion of the housing being flexible;
• inserting a light-emitting element in the cavity, a width of the cavity expanding from the light-emitting element towards the opening;
• and
• covering at least a portion of the opening with a light adjustor, the light adjustor comprising a reflective element and a diffusor layer, the diffusor layer disposed in the opening between the light emitting element and the reflective element, the reflective element configured to reflect a part of light emitted from the light-emitting elements towards the cavity.
