Abstract

A power-driven vehicle having at least one camera and at least one lamp, the camera is provided to photograph at least part of the surrounding area of the power-driven vehicle, the lamp is used to illuminate at least sections of said part of the surrounding area of the power-driven vehicle, and the lamp can be supplied by a power supply medium of the power-driven vehicle with power having a first frequency to generate the light.

Claims

1. Power-driven vehicle having at least one camera and at least one lamp,

a. wherein the camera is provided to photograph at least part of the surrounding area of the power-driven vehicle,

b. wherein the lamp is used to illuminate at least sections of said part of the surrounding area of the power-driven vehicle,

c. wherein the lamp can be supplied by a power supply medium of the power-driven vehicle with power (I_M) having a first frequency to generate the light,

characterized in that

the first frequency has a value of 300 Hz.

2. Power-driven vehicle according to claim 1, characterized in that the lamp can alternatively be supplied by a power supply medium with power (I_M) having a second frequency with a value of 100 Hz to generate the light.

3. Power-driven vehicle according to claim 2, characterized in that the lamp can be supplied with power (IM) having the first frequency if the reverse gear is engaged and with power (IM) having the second frequency if the forward gear is engaged.

4. Power-driven vehicle according to claim 1, characterized in that the lamp is a lamp equipped with one or a plurality of light-emitting diodes serving as lights.

5. Power-driven vehicle according to claim 1, characterized in that the lamp is a tail lamp, in particular a reversing lamp, a flashing rear lamp, a rear parking lamp, a brake lamp, a rear fog lamp and/or a license plate lamp.

6. Power-driven vehicle according to claim 1, characterized in that the camera is a backup camera.

7. Power supply medium for one or a plurality of lamps of a power-driven vehicle with the properties of claim 1, characterized in that a frequency of the power to be provided by the power supply medium can be adjusted by means of a control system of the power supply medium.

8. Power supply medium according to claim 7, characterized in that the power supply medium comprises a d. c. converter.

9. Power supply medium according to claim 7, characterized in that the power supply medium comprises elements for pulse width modulation used to modulate the pulse width of the power (IM) to be supplied by the power supply medium, and in that the impulse frequency of the pulse width modulated power (IM) to be provided by the power supply medium can be adjusted by means of a control system of the power supply medium.

10. Power supply medium according to claim 7, characterized in that the power supply medium has an input to which a signal can be connected which can be processed as a signal by the control system, which displays the status of an engaged reverse or forward gear.
