LIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH LIGHT GUIDE

摘要

A light assembly is provided that includes a light guide, multiple light pipes, and multiple light sources. The light guide has an elongated body extending along a longitudinal axis. The light guide includes multiple segments arranged axially along a length of the body. Each segment has a light receiving region and a light emitting region. The light pipes are disposed along the light receiving regions and extend parallel to the longitudinal axis. Each of the multiple light sources is optically coupled to an attachment end of a corresponding light pipe. The light emitted by each light source is received by the corresponding light pipe at the attachment end and transmitted through the light pipe towards a distal end of the light pipe. Adjacent segments of the light guide receive light from different light pipes and emit such light from the light guide through the corresponding light emitting regions.

1. A light assembly comprising:
a light guide having an elongated body extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and an opposing second end, the light guide including multiple segments that are arranged axially along a length of the body between the first and second ends, the segments alternate along the length, each segment having a light receiving region and a light emitting region; multiple light pipes that are each elongated between an attachment end and an opposing distal end, the light pipes disposed along the light receiving regions of the light guide and extend parallel to the longitudinal axis; and multiple light sources configured to emit light, each light source optically coupled to the attachment end of a corresponding one of the light pipes, the light emitted by each light source received by the corresponding light pipe at the attachment end and transmitted through the light pipe towards the distal end; wherein adjacent segments of the light guide receive light from different light pipes and emit such light from the light guide through the corresponding light emitting regions.
