Projection headlamp lighting system using different diameter optical light conductors
First Claim
1. A projection lighting system, comprising:
- (a) means for generating light;
(b) means for receiving the light from said generating means and for distributing the light to a preselected lighting position, said light distributing means including a plurality of elongated optical light conductors being of different diameter sizes and having respective input and output ends;
(c) second means for receiving the light at said preselected lighting position from said light distributing means and for projecting the light from said output ends of said optical light conductors in a desired light pattern;
(d) wherein at least one of said optical light conductors has a diameter size larger than the diameter sizes of the remainder of said conductors;
(e) wherein said output end of said one conductor is disposed in a manner so as to have a group of said remainder of conductors arranged on at least one side thereof; and
(f) wherein said light projecting means includes means for receiving and focussing the light in said desired light pattern.

Abstract
A projection headlamp lighting system includes a light source to generate light, a light distributing arrangement to distribute the light to a preselected lighting position, and a light projecting arrangement at the lighting position to project the light in the desired pattern. The light distributing arrangement includes a plurality of elongated optical light conductors being of different diameter sizes and having respective input and output ends. The light projecting arrangement includes a housing for holding the output ends of the optical light conductors in an array to project a desired light pattern that is substantially tailored to optimally fit a vehicle'"'"'s field of illumination with minimal obstruction of the projected light.
