Abstract

A light module of a lighting equipment of a motor vehicle that includes several separately controllable light sources combined in an array, several primary optics elements in the form of collective lenses, each of which has a light ingress surface and a light emitting surface, that are combined to a primary optics array, wherein the primary optics elements concentrate at least a portion of the light emitted by the light sources and generate intermediate light distributions on the light emitting surfaces, and a secondary optics system for reproducing the emitted light on a road in front of a motor vehicle as resulting total light distribution of the light module. The secondary optics system for reproducing the intermediate light distributions as resulting total light distribution of the light module is focused on at least one of the light-emitting surfaces of the collective lenses.
