An illumination system is based on multiple light emitting diodes (LEDs), arranged in a row, to side-illuminate respective reflectors. The illumination system is particularly useful as a vehicle headlamp. In some embodiments, the reflectors may be curved, for example paraboloidal, to collect the light, but truncated in the direction along the row: this allows for closer packing of the LEDs. In other embodiments, the different reflectors point in different directions so as to spread the combined light beams across the driver's field of view. In other embodiments, the reflectors for the different LEDs may be formed on a single molded body.
