ABSTRACT:
A fog lamp reflector includes a reflector body having a reflector surface made up of a series of vertical convex flutes. Each of the flutes is made up of a plurality of segments, and each of the segments is shaped as a section of a respective paraboloid. The focuses of all of the paraboloids substantially coincide at a selected point in space, and the segments of each flute are aimed at a plurality of non-parallel directions with the left-of-center segments of each flute aimed left of the central segment and the right-of-center segments of each flute aimed right of the central segment to laterally disperse reflected light originating at the selected point in space. The focal lengths of the paraboloids increase progressively from one side to the other side of at least some of the flutes, and the paraboloids are each scaled about their respective focus to ensure that adjacent segments meet on the midline of the reflector in a substantially continuous curve.
