Abstract

A light device, especially a signal lamp for motor vehicles, includes a carrier housing (1) covered by a translucent cover (2) and an internal chamber (3) that houses an optical system comprising a light source (13) to generate coherent light (101) with a high luminous intensity. The optical system further comprises a lens (6) to direct the coherent light (101) generated by the light source (13) into a focused light beam (102), a divider (7) to divide the focused light beam (102) into separate light streams (103), and a diffusion means (9) to transform the light streams (103) entering the diffusion means (9) into homogenized light beams (104), the above mentioned parts of the optical system being arranged and configured for creating, in the front view, a spatial and/or designer light effect.
