Abstract

The invention provides an automotive lighting device (1) comprising a light source (2), a housing (3) with a ventilation element (4), an outer glass (5) closing the housing (2) and an opaque element (6). The ventilation element (4) allows water vapour to pass through while preventing liquid water from entering the housing. The opaque element (6) comprises a first portion (7) located between the ventilation element (4) and the outer glass (5), wherein the first portion (7) comprises a permeable element which allows water vapour to pass through but does not allow light to pass through.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is in the field of lamps for motor vehicles and more particularly relates to the design of headlamps which avoid fogging of the exterior glass. Background technique [0002] Current headlamps must meet different requirements, sometimes involving conflicting design paths. One such example has to do with the problem of dehazing. [0003] Fogging is caused when water vapor condenses on the inner surface of the glass. Microdroplets are unsightly and affect light behavior, so a huge effort is required to solve this problem. However, in order to design a modern and effective lighting fixture, a wall of opaque material must surround the light source to avoid light leakage. But these opaque walls are a free path for dry air to reach the glass surface and a barrier to avoid condensation. [0004] So the better a scheme is for avoiding light leaks, the worse for avoiding glass condensation as these opaque walls create a tortuous demisti...
