Extreme cutoff beam control optics

An optical assembly comprising:

• a plurality of lenses, each of the lenses having a lens central axis;
• a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), each of the LEDs oriented to emit light into a respective one of the plurality of lenses, each of the LEDs having an optical axis;
• and
• at least one reflector disposed adjacent to at least one of the LEDs such that the at least one of the LEDs is at a first side of the at least one reflector, wherein:
• the at least one reflector has a reflective surface extending over the at least one of the LEDs and beyond the optical axis;
• and
• the optical axis of the at least one of the LEDs is laterally offset from the lens central axis of the respective one of the lenses in a direction toward the at least one reflector so as to be located more proximate the at least one reflector than the lens central axis,
• wherein the LEDs are configured to emit light from the optical assembly and wherein the optical assembly is configured to direct at least 95% of the emitted light in a first direction relative to a light cutoff plane (1) that extends through the optical axis of one or more of the plurality of LEDs located within the optical assembly at a location most distal from the first direction and (2) that extends parallel to the optical axis and perpendicular to the first direction.

An optical assembly comprising:

• a plurality of lenses, each of the lenses having a dome shape portion and a lens central axis;
• a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), each of the LEDs oriented to emit light into a respective one of the plurality of lenses and each of the LEDs having an optical axis;
• and
• at least one reflector disposed adjacent to at least one of the LEDs such that the at least one of the LEDs is at a first side of the at least one reflector, wherein the at least one reflector has a reflective surface extending over the at least one of the LEDs and beyond the optical axis of the at least one of the LEDs and wherein the optical axis of the at least one of the LEDs is laterally offset from the lens central axis of the respective one of the lenses in a direction toward the at least one reflector so as to be located more proximate the at least one reflector than the lens central axis,
• wherein the optical assembly comprises a surface from which the dome shape portions of the plurality of lenses extend and wherein the surface is configured to absorb at least 90% of light incident on the surface.
