Abstract

The invention provides an automotive lighting device (1) comprising a light source (2), a driver arranged to control the operation of the light source (2), a housing (4), a desiccant salt (6) and a separating element (7). The driver comprises a driver cover (3) arranged to dissipate the heat generated by the driver. The housing (4) comprises a housing wall and a ventilation element (5) located in the housing wall, the ventilation element (5) being configured to allow water vapour to exit the housing (4). The desiccant salt (6) is arranged in thermal contact with the driver cover (3). The separating element (7) is provided between the desiccant salt (6) and the light source (2). A method for controlling the operation of the separating element (7) is also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of lamps for motor vehicles, and more particularly relates to the design of headlamps for avoiding fogging of the outer glass. Background technique [0002] Current headlamps must meet different requirements that sometimes involve conflicting design paths. An example of this relates to the problem of dehazing. [0003] Fogging occurs when water vapor condenses on the inner surface of the glass. Microdroplets are unsightly and can affect the behavior of light, so a huge effort has been put into solving this problem. However, in order to design modern and efficient lighting fixtures, walls of opaque material must surround the light source to avoid light leakage. However, these opaque walls prevent a free path for dry air to reach the glass surface and avoid condensation. [0004] So the better the solution to avoid light leaks, the worse it is to avoid glass condensation, because these opaque walls create a tortuous...
