Lights with microlens arrays

A vehicle exterior light assembly comprising:

• a collimated light source configured to emit collimated light, wherein the collimated light source is configured to produce a ring of the collimated light, and wherein the collimated light source comprises:
• a light emitter that emits light;
• a reflective lens element that reflects the emitted light;
• and
• a mirror element that reflects the emitted light reflected from the reflective lens element to produce the ring of the collimated light;
• and
• an array of light elements, each light element having:
• a first lens configured to receive the collimated light and configured to produce corresponding output light;
• and
• a second lens configured to receive the output light from the first lens and configured to provide a corresponding beam of illumination.

A vehicle light comprising:

• a collimated light source configured to emit collimated light, wherein the collimated light source comprises a light emitter that emits diverging light to produce a ring of the collimated light;
• and
• an array of light elements configured to receive the collimated light and produce corresponding illumination, wherein:
• each light element comprises a preshaping lens configured to receive the collimated light, an output lens configured to receive preshaped light from the preshaping lens and to provide a corresponding beam of the illumination, and an electrically adjustable shutter between the preshaping lens and the output lens;
• and
• the electrically adjustable shutter is configured to move between a low-beam position in which a portion of the preshaped light from the preshaping lens is blocked and a high-beam position in which the preshaped light from the preshaping lens is allowed to pass to the output lens.
