Design strategy for free-form reflector head lamp using high intensity discharge light source

摘要

A design strategy for implementing high intensity discharge (HID) light sources in low beam head lamps with free-form reflectors (FFRs) is presented. A theoretical analysis of a light source image formed by each portion of a reflector is presented as well as a strategy for using those images to create a head lamp beam pattern. Simulation results are shown for a head lamp design using this strategy.
