Abstract
A light system including a multi-functional light system including two or more light blades extending in opposite directions, printed circuit boards in communication with one of the two or more light blades at a first end; a lens in communication with all of the two or more light blades at a second end; light sources on the printed circuit boards that direct light through one of the two or more light blades and into the lens to generate two or more light functions.
Claims16
A light system comprising:
- a multi-functional light system comprising:
- two or more light blades extending in opposite directions,
- a printed circuit board located at a first end of each of the two or more light blades;
- a lens facing a second end of each of the two or more light blades;
- light sources on the printed circuit boards that direct light through one of the two or more light blades and into the lens to generate at least one light function;
- wherein the printed circuit board of each of the two or more light blades is inclined relative to a plane of a front edge of the lens;
- wherein the two or more light blades are three light blades that extend parallel to one another;
- wherein the three light blades include a first light blade that extends adjacent to, and in between, the second light blade and a third light blade.

A light system comprising:
- a multi-functional light system comprising:
- a first light blade comprising:
- a first end and a second end,
- an upper arcuate shape extending at least partially from the first end to the second end, and
- a lower arcuate shape extending at least partially from the first end to the second end;
- a first printed circuit board in connected to the first light blade at the first end;
