Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0860652A2] A vehicle signal lamp has a reflector (32) arranged to direct light from a bulb (30) through a hole (36) in an opaque mask (34). The mask (34) has a concave reflective surface (40) covered by a transparent coloured layer (42) and arranged to reflect light incident thereon from outside the lamp. The colour of the lamp when not illuminated is determined by the colour of the coloured layer (42). Light from the bulb (30) does not pass through the layer (42) and therefore is not affected by its colour. <IMAGE>
