Light guide for lights, in particular for motor vehicle lights. The light guide has a light source whose radiated light is directed out of the light guide at a light emission side by a reflective structure over at least a part of the length of the light guide. In order to design a light guide such that a desired luminance distribution can be achieved in a simple manner therewith, the proportion of reflective surface in a region of the reflective structure located closer to the light source is a smaller or larger part of the total reflective surface of the light guide than the proportion of reflective surface in a region of the reflective structure located further away from the light source. A desirable luminance distribution can be obtained easily in this way. The light guide is especially suitable for motor vehicle lights.
Light guide for lights, of a motor vehicle, comprising at least one light source whose radiated light is directed out of the light guide at a light emission side by a reflective structure over at least a part of the length of the light guide, wherein the proportion of reflective surface in a region of the reflective structure located closer to the light source is a smaller or larger part of the total reflective surface of the light guide than the proportion of reflective surface in a region of the reflective structure located further away from the light source.
Light guide according to claim 6, wherein the prisms have different cross-sectional shapes.
