DESC:PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHMENTS. ,CLAIMS:1. A lamp (100) for a vehicle, the lamp (100) comprising:
a housing (1) having an internal region (IR) defined between a front end (1a), a rear end (1b), an upper end (1c), and a lower end (1d); 5
at least one light source (3) coupled to at least one printed circuit board (2), wherein the at least one light source (3) and the at least one printed circuit board (2) are positioned at the upper end (1c) of the housing (1) in order to project illumination towards the lower end (1d) of the housing (1);
an optical element (4) positioned between the upper end (1c) and the lower end 10 (1d) of the housing (1), wherein the optical element (4) is configured to reflect the illumination received from the light source (3) towards the front end (1a) of the housing (1);
a lens (5) mounted at the front end (1a) of the housing (1), wherein the lens (5) is configured to direct the illumination reflected by the optical element (4) towards 15 outside of the housing (1).
2. The lamp (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the optical element (4) is defined with at least one reflecting surface (RS), wherein the at least one reflecting surface (RS) is positioned in order to reflect the received illumination towards the lens (5) at an angle 20 in a range from 80º to 100º.
3. The lamp (100) as claimed in claim 2, wherein the at least one reflecting surface (RS) is an inclined surface, or a curved surface in order to reflect the received illumination from the light source (3) towards the lens (5). 25
4. The lamp (100) as claimed in claim 2, wherein the at least one reflecting surface (RS) has a plain surface or a square-shaped pattern to improve homogeneity and yellowness in illumination.
30
5. The lamp (100) as claimed in claim 2, wherein the optical element (4) is defined with at least one collimating surface (CS), wherein the at least one collimating surface (CS) is positioned adjacent to the light source (3) to collimate light rays received from the light source (3) towards the at least one reflecting surface (RS) parallelly.
19
6. The lamp (100) as claimed in claim 5, wherein the at least one collimating surface (CS) has a plain surface or a square-shaped pattern to improve homogeneity and yellowness in illumination.
5
7. The lamp (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the printed circuit board (2) is a flat-type printed circuit board.
8. The lamp (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one light source (3) is a plurality of light emitting diodes. 10
9. The lamp (100) as claimed in claim 7, wherein the plurality of light emitting diodes is positioned at a lower surface of the printed circuit board (2).
10. A lamp (100) for a vehicle, the lamp (100) comprising: 15
