Abstract:
The present invention concerns a lighting and/or signaling device (10) for a motor vehicle, said lighting and/or signaling device (10) comprising: a housing (1); an outer lens (3) designed to close the housing (1); at least one light module (5) housed inside said housing (1) comprising: at least one optical surface (9, 9′, 9″); at least one light source (7, 7′) interacting with said optical surface (9, 9′) to form a light beam; a heat sink (11) comprising a plurality of fins (13); an air flow generator (15) designed to generate an air flow (17) towards the heat sink (11), said air flow (17) passing through the fins (13) of the heat sink (11); and a light module holder (19) comprising a front part (20a) oriented toward the outer lens (3) with a plurality of gaps (21) designed to direct the air flow (17) coming from the heat sink (11) towards the outer lens (3).
