Abstract
For creating a lighting system (1) for a vehicle comprising a reflector (4) and a light source (5), wherein the lighting system (1) can be adapted with as low an outlay as possible to different specifications in regard to light distribution, it is proposed that a light distribution corresponding to a first specification can be created by the interaction between the reflector (4) and a first light source (5), and that a light distribution in accordance with a second specification can be created by the interaction between the reflector (4) and a second light source (5).
Claims8
A lighting system (1) for a vehicle, comprising a light source (5) for emitting light beams and a reflector (4) for reflecting the light beams emitted by the light source (5), characterized in that a light distribution in accordance with a first specification can be created by the interaction between the reflector (4) and a first light source (5), and that a light distribution in accordance with a second specification can be created by the interaction between the reflector (4) and a second light source (5).
A tool for producing a reflector (4) in a lightsource (5), wherein the tool has a core and/or a die, characterized in that the tool provides a changeable insert for at least a portion of the core and/or the die, wherein at least that portion of the reflector (4) is formed by means of the tool which is intended to at least indirectly hold the light source.
A method for producing alighting system (1) for a vehicle by means of a tool having a core and/or a die wherein the lighting system (1) has a light source (5) for emitting light beams and a reflector (4) for the reflection of the light beams emitted by the light source (5), and a use of the lighting system (1) is intended in regard to different specified light distributions, characterized in that, depending on the specified light distribution, a changeable insert is inserted into at least a portion of the core and/or the die of the tool, wherein at least that portion of the reflector (4) is formed by means of the changeable insert which is intended to at least indirectly hold a light source (5) with which the specified light distribution is achieved.
