Abstract
A light assembly, particularly for a motor vehicle, essentially consists of a housing covered by a clear, optically inactive covering pane in which at least one light unit is arranged which is formed of a light with a pertaining reflector. A screen, which is constructed as a semireflecting mirror, is arranged between the covering pane and the light unit. The screen separates a rearward light unit space accommodating the light unit from a forward light unit space formed by the screen and the covering pane, so that the rearward light unit space cannot be seen on the inside by a viewer looking in the direction of the light unit. The screen is transparent for the light emitted by the light when the light is switched on.
