Vehicle light
First Claim
1. A vehicle light comprising:
- a housing;
a cover lens attached to the housing to define a lighting chamber between the cover lens and the housing, the lighting chamber including a first space and a second space;
a heat dissipation member attached to the housing;
a first optical system disposed within the first space of the lighting chamber; and
a second optical system disposed within the second space of the lighting chamber, whereinthe first optical system includesa first heat conduction member including a first LED attached surface facing a direction toward the second space, and a first support member, the first LED attached surface being located at one end of the support member, and at least one of the housing and the heat dissipation member being located at an other end of the support member,a first LED light source attached to the first LED attached surface so as to have an illumination direction in the direction toward the second space, anda first reflector disposed in the illumination direction of the first LED light source and configured to receive and reflect light when emitted from the first LED light source towards the cover lens so that reflected light from the first reflector passing through the cover lens forms a predetermined light distribution pattern, andthe second optical system includesa second heat conduction member including a second LED attached surface facing a direction toward the first space, and a second support member, the second LED attached surface being located at one end of the second support member, and one of the housing and the heat dissipation member being located at an other end of the second support member,a second LED light source attached to the second LED attached surface so as to have an illumination direction directed in the direction toward the first space, anda second reflector disposed in the illumination direction of the second LED light source and configured to receive and reflect light when emitted from the second LED light source towards the cover lens so that reflected light from the second reflector passing through the cover lens forms a predetermined light distribution pattern.

Abstract
A vehicle light can achieve the same or similar heat dissipation performance as that of a conventional vehicle light while having a smaller height than that of the conventional vehicle light, thereby improving space utilization efficiency for a limited installation space of a vehicle body. The vehicle light can include a housing, a cover lens attached to the housing to define a lighting chamber between itself and the housing. A heat dissipation member can be attached to the housing. An optical system can be disposed within the lighting chamber. The optical system can include a heat conduction member including an LED attached surface and a support member fixed to the LED attached surface at one end thereof and to the housing or the heat dissipation member at the other end thereof. An LED light source can be attached to the LED attached surface, and a reflector can be provided for receiving and reflecting light emitted from the LED light source towards the cover lens so that the reflected light passing through the cover lens forms a predetermined light distribution pattern.
