Abstract
The present disclosure refers to a lighting unit, in particular in form of a RGB light assembly, comprising one or more lighting segments, wherein each lighting segment comprises several light sources emitting light rays into one or more light guides merging into one light out-coupling surface for guiding the outputted light rays to a lens providing a light output. The light unit may be provided in two alternatives either the light sources directly face the lens such that light rays are guided through the light guide to pass the lens to light up a surface, or the light sources emit light rays to enter the light guide to be guided to a reflector which focuses the light rays into a light window of a mask to light up the lens in the region of the light window.
