Abstract
Lighting system for a vehicle with a tilting component, such as a tilting truck bed. The lighting system can be mounted to the tilting component. In an example, the lighting system includes differently configurable reflectors for generating light beams that propagate at different angles to improve the lighting system's efficacy even when the tilting component is tilted.
Claims20
A lighting system, comprising:
- a lighting device, the lighting device including:
- a housing;
- a lens mounted to the housing;
- a first reflector positioned in the housing;
- and
- a light emitter positioned in the housing, the lighting device being configured such that a peak magnitude of a light beam distribution emitted by the light emitter through the lens is along a first direction;
- and
- a second reflector configured to be mounted to the lighting device, the second reflector being configured such that when the second reflector is mounted to the lighting device, the peak magnitude of the light beam distribution emitted by the light emitter through the lens is along a second direction, the second direction and the first direction being at least 5 degrees offset from each other.

A lightbar for a vehicle, comprising:
- a housing;
- a lens mounted to the housing;
- a first light assembly positioned in the housing, the first light assembly including a first light emitter and a first reflector;
- a second light assembly positioned in the housing, the second light assembly including a second light emitter and a second reflector,
- wherein the first light emitter and the second light emitter are configured to generate light beams having light beam distributions in which directions of peak magnitudes of the light beam distributions are parallel to each other;
- and
- wherein the first reflector and the second reflector are configured to reflect the light beams such that reflected directions of the peak magnitudes of the light beam distributions are offset from each other by at least 5 degrees.
