Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017050341A1] The invention relates to a lighting and signaling switch with semi-automatic switching from high beams to low beams and to a device for turning on said switch, thus making it possible to reduce the risks of blinding and the effects thereof caused by inattention, negligence, or driver reaction time. The switch consists of a housing having a lever (2) housed therein, switching means, and an electromagnet (12) which, when turned on by a light receiver detecting light rays which come from the vehicles coming in the opposite direction or closely following and which have been previously converged and concentrated by the converging lens (16) on the reflecting parabolic surface (17), is excited and sets in motion the reversing cam (9) which, when switched over, automatically switches from high beams to low beams. The switch according to the invention is particularly suitable for motor vehicle lighting and signaling.
