Abstract
A vehicle body component comprising a lighting means arrangement, which is configured as a LED strip being at least bendable in the longitudinal direction thereof and comprises a plurality of LEDs arranged one after the other and electrically interconnected; and a base body configured to receive the lighting means arrangement at a light exit side. Further disclosed is a method for manufacturing a body component and a method for controlling a lighting means arrangement on a vehicle.
Claims25
A vehicle body component comprising:
- a lighting means arrangement formed by a LED strip, wherein the LED strip is bendable at least in a longitudinal direction thereof and includes a plurality of LEDs electrically interconnected and arranged one after another;
- and
- a base body configured to receive the lighting means arrangement at a light exit side of the vehicle body component, wherein the base body comprises at least one depression configured to receive the lighting means arrangement at the light exit side.
(canceled)
A method of manufacturing a vehicle body component comprising:
- providing a base body configured at a light exit side of the vehicle body component to receive a lighting means arrangement, wherein the base body comprises at least one depression configured to receive the lighting means arrangement at the light exit side;
- and
- fixing the lighting means arrangement, formed by a LED strip that is bendable in a longitudinal direction thereof and including a plurality of LEDs electrically interconnected and arranged one after another and, to the base body.
A vehicle body component comprising:
- a lighting means arrangement formed by a LED strip, wherein the LED strip is bendable at least in a longitudinal direction thereof and includes a plurality of LEDs electrically interconnected and arranged one after another;
- a base body comprising at least one depression for receiving the lighting means arrangement at a light exit side of the vehicle body component;
- and
- a controller configured to modulate radiant power of each of the individual LEDs of the plurality of LEDs by continuously changing the radiant power according to a predetermined pattern.
