Abstract

A motor-vehicle lamp comprises a hollow body (2) having a front aperture closed by a transparent plate (7) and a main reflective wall (8) facing the transparent plate (7). The body of the lamp has a relatively reduced dimension in the direction orthogonal to the transparent plate (7) and includes a light source (9) located at one side of the hollow body, with which there is associated an auxiliary reflective element (10) to direct light rays emitted by the source (9) in a direction substantially parallel to the transparent plate (7), towards the main reflective wall (8), which is able to reflect these rays towards the transparent plate (7), so as to obtain a uniform light beam having the required characteristics coming out of said transparent plate.
