ABSTRACT:
The drawback of conventional projector type head lights of lighting excessively the immediate front of the automobile is dissolved by an improved projector type head light according to the invention. Since a projector type head light according to the invention comprises an elliptic reflector which is divided into upper and lower halves and the upper reflecting surface is defined to be found within an orthogonal projection area that allows irradiation of the orthogonal front such that reflected rays of light from the lateral sections of said upper reflecting surface are converged to the center of the light distribution pattern and those from the remaining sections are dispersed laterally, the light distribution pattern has a low profile central area while the overall contour of the light distribution pattern shows a high profile and a substantially even intensity of light over the entire area so that the orthogonal immediate front of the projector type head light is not particularly intensely lighted and the curbs and the sidewalks can be lighted with a sufficient intensity of light to remarkably improve the performance of projector type head light.
