A vehicle headlamp for producing a Z-beam pattern has a reflector provided with a reflective area lying on a surface defined by rotating an ellipse about an axis which passes through the inner focus of the ellipse and which is inclined an acute angle (1 DEG -2 DEG ) to the focal axis of the ellipse. A shielded filament for producing an inclined cut-off line to the beam is used and is orientated in the opposite sense to that in which it is orientated in a conventional headlamp for producing an inclined cut-off. Lensing at the front of the reflector splits the area of the basic beam pattern immediately below a horizontal portion of the cut-off line into parts which define upper and lower, mutually laterally displaced horizontal cut-off portions in the required Z-beam pattern. The lensing also utilizes a part-circular cut-off portion of the basic beam produced by the reflector and bulb to define an inclined portion of the Z-beam and depress and/or shifts other portions of the basic beam to reinforce other portions of the Z-beam. |
