Engine compartment lighting to moving parts

摘要

An illumination apparatus for a vehicle is disclosed. The illumination apparatus comprises a light source disposed proximate an engine compartment configured output an emission to illuminate a component moving at a cyclic rate. The apparatus further comprises a controller configured to selectively illuminate the light source at a lighting frequency. The lighting frequency is configured to generate a strobe effect configured to create a sampled illumination of the component.
