Lighting device for motor vehicles having a highly discontinuous reflective surface

摘要

A lighting device for motor vehicle comprises a reflective element (2) having a motor vehicle plurality of projecting sectors (6) which are equiangularly spaced from each other, located around a light source (3) arranged at the centre of the reflective element (2). The projecting sectors (6) have reflective surfaces (7) surrounding the light source (3) which define a theoretical secondary reflective surface which is substantially different from the primary base surface (5) from which the sectors (6) project. The high discontinuity created in the surface of the reflective element (2) by the presence of the projecting sectors (6) gives rise to a unique aesthetical effect visible both in the condition of device on and in the condition of device off, the device is provided with a transparent element (4) which is substantially clear, i.e. with no optical prisms.
