Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to a method for the automatic control of lighting devices (16), particularly of a motor vehicle, and a device for implementing the method, the brightness in a specific direction being detected by at least one directional sensor (14) which emits direction signals (SR) to a control device (10), the control device (10) switching on the lighting devices (16) after a minimum time (tb) has elapsed. The minimum time (tb) begins when the direction signals (SR) exceed or drop below a switch-on threshold (SE). The lighting devices (16) are only switched on when the direction signals (SR) lie above or below the switch-on threshold (SE) during the entire minimum time (tb). To that end, the control device (10) is connected to a timer (T).
A method for the automatic control of lighting devices (16), especially of a motor vehicle, the brightness in a specific direction being detected by at least one directional sensor (14) which emits direction signals (SR) to a control device (10),
The method as recited in one of the preceding claims, wherein the minimum time (tb) is determined in view of the ambient brightness which is detected by at least one global sensor (12).
The method as recited in one of the preceding claims, wherein the minimum time (tb) is determined in view of the speed of the motor vehicle.
The method as recited in one of the preceding claims,
A device, particularly for a motor vehicle, for implementing the method as recited in one of the preceding claims, having a directional sensor (14) detecting the brightness in a specific direction and a control device (10), wherein a timer (T) is provided that is able to emit time signals (SZ) to the control device (10).
