Lighting device for vehicles

A lighting device for vehicles comprising:

• an optical unit that comprises a reflector with at least one reflector surface to create a specified light distribution;
• a light source unit comprising a first light source that is arranged in a focal point region of the reflector surface, and a second light source that is arranged outside the focal point region of the reflector surface;
• and
• a lens arranged ahead of the reflector surface in a direction of light emission, the lens having lens segments,
• wherein the second light source is arranged outside the focal point region such that the light emitted by the second light source strikes a lens segment of the lens which a light emitted by the first light source and reflected by the reflector surface does not strike, so that all of the lens segments of the lens are illuminated,
• wherein the light emitted by the first light source strikes a lighting function segment of the reflector surface,
• wherein the light emitted by the second light source strikes a diffused light segment of the reflector surface,
• wherein the lighting function segment of the reflector surface is designed such that the light emitted by the first light source is reflected in accordance with the specified light distribution toward the lens segment at which the light emitted by the first light source is projected into a vehicle near field, and
• wherein the reflector further comprises multiple reflector surfaces and first light sources associated with each other are provided for creating first light beams, which are directed at different lens segments of the lens for creating a same light distribution and/or for creating different light distributions.

• wherein the light emitted by the first light source strikes a lighting function segment of the reflector surface, wherein the light emitted by the second light source strikes a diffused light segment of the reflector surface, and
• wherein the diffused light segment of the reflector surface is designed such that the light emitted by the second light source that is reflected at the diffused light segment is emitted beyond an edge of the lens segment associated with the reflector surface having the diffused light segment, wherein a different lens segment is illuminated that is associated with a further reflector surface, which is irradiated by a further first light source in order to create a further light distribution, and wherein a drive is arranged so that the second light source associated with the reflector surface is switched on when the first light source associated with the reflector surface is switched on for creating the specified light distribution and the further first light source associated with the further reflector surface is switched off for creating an additional light distribution.
