1. A lamp for vehicles, comprising:
two or more light modules, each light module including:
a light source unit that has a number of light sources in a row running in a primary direction (V) and/or in a column, which emit light;
a screen placed in front of the light source unit in a main beam direction (H), with openings spaced apart from one another in the primary direction (V) and positioned to align with the light sources;
a collimator placed in front of the screen in the main beam direction (H), which aligns the light emitted from the light source unit; and
a diffusion lens placed in front of the collimator in the main beam direction (H) that diffuses the light passing through the openings in the screen horizontally and vertically to obtain light spots forming a light distribution, wherein the diffusion lens has a first optical structure on the light-entry side, facing the collimator, which has a number of micro-optical elements, and/or a second optical structure on the light-emitting side, facing away from the collimator, which has a number of micro-optical elements, to deflect the light vertically and/or horizontally,
wherein the two or more light modules are spatially offset to one another,
wherein either:
a first light module and a second light module of the two or more light modules are parallel to one another along the primary direction of the screen, and wherein the second light module is offset to the first light module in only a first direction, which is perpendicular to a plane defined by the primary direction (V) and the main beam direction (H), or
the second light module is offset to the first light module in the first direction and in the primary direction (V), and the light modules are offset to one another in the primary direction (V), such that a row of light pixels from a first light module, and a row of light pixels from a second light module are projected into a row of light spots forming a first light distribution generated by the first light module, or a second light distribution generated by the second light module, which are offset to one another along the primary direction on a measurement projection screen, and
wherein the first and second light module, or the components composed of the light source unit, the screen, and the collimator in the first and second light modules, are pivoted about a tilting axis that is parallel to the primary direction (V) so differently that the rows of light spots in the first light distribution and second light distribution that are offset to one another in the primary direction (V) on the measurement projection screen overlap in the primary direction (V).
