Abstract:
A drive, primarily for an optical light forming device, which light forming device can be used in a projector, which light forming device comprises an at least partly open area for light, where at least two light forming devices cooperate in a light path for forming the light, which light forming devices are rotated around a common axis in and out of the light path. To achieve opposite synchronous movement of light forming means, the light forming devices are rotated equal in opposite directions around the common axis by a common motor. Hereby, it can be achieved that the two light forming devices are rotated synchronously, but opposite in relation to each other. The opposite synchronous movement is very important if the light fainting devices are part of a modern computer controlled projector using step motors.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a framing system for shaping a light beam. The framing system comprises a frame support comprising a number of shutter blades surrounding said light beam and a number of actuators adapted to move said shutter blades in and out of said light beam. The shutter blades form a merged pile, where part of a first shutter blade is in placed over a part of a second shutter blade and where another part is placed below a part of a third shutter blade. A first actuator rotates at least one of said shutter blades in relation to a first rotational point and a second actuator moves the first rotational point in relation to said light beam. The present invention relates further to a method of shaping a light beam comprising the steps of rotating a shutter blade around a first rotation point using a first actuator and moving the first rotation point in relation to the light beam using a second actuator.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a moving head light fixture comprising a base; a yoke connected rotatable to the base and a head connected rotatable to the yoke. The head comprises a number of light sources and a number of light collecting means arranged in the head, where the number of light collecting means collect and convert light from at least one of the light sources into a number of source light beams which are emitted from said head. The head comprises a diffuser cover, which comprises at least one diffuser region. The diffuser region receives and diffuses at least a part of the light and at least a part of the diffuser cover protrudes from the head. The invention relates to a illumination system comprising such a moving head and a diffuser cover protruding from the head of for a moving head light fixture.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an illumination device comprising a base, a U-shaped yoke connected to and rotatable relative to the base and a head connected to and rotatable relative to the yoke. The U-shaped yoke comprise two upstanding arms and the head is mounted between the upstanding arms. The head comprises at least one light source generating a light and the yoke comprises two interlocked U-shaped yoke shell parts. The present invention relates also to a method of manufacturing such illumination device. The method comprises the steps of providing the base, providing the head and providing the yoke where the step of providing the yoke comprises the step of locking two yoke shell parts together across the entire width of said yoke.
Abstract:
An LED device in which LED groups are located on a pixel board has calibration data for each LED stored both electrically and mechanically close to the actual LED. Preferably, each LED group has a number of LEDs of different colors on the pixel board, being electrically connected to a color controller. The color controller is connected to a power supply, and the pixel board has a memory circuit having the LED calibration data related to the LEDs stored therein. The color controller controls LEDs for generating light based on the LED calibration data stored in the memory circuit on said pixel board. Preferably, at least one of the LEDs is formed on a chip that contains the memory circuit for storing the calibration data.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a light effect system for forming a light beam. The light effect system comprises a base support rotatable supporting a light effect support and the light effect support comprises light forming means. The light forming means is adapted to form at least a part of said light beam and at least one actuator is adapted to moved the light forming means in relation to said light beam. The light effect system comprises also rotatable electric connecting means enabling transferring of electric energy between the light effect support and said base support during rotation of said light effect support in relation to said base support.
Abstract:
An illumination device with a number of light sources arranged in at least two groups of light sources that are individually controllable. The first group of light sources (203) have light collectors (209) such as internal reflection (TIR) lenses, mixers or other lenses placed over them to collect and convert light of the light sources into a number of light source beams. The second group of light sources (205) pass light through diffusing areas (215) of a diffuser (213) in the form of a diffusion cover included in the lamp housing to diffuse the light and create a background light for the first group of light sources. The light from the first group of light sources pass through non diffusing regions (211) of the diffuser cover without the light being diffused. The second group of light sources are interleaved with the first group by the diffuser having one or several diffusion areas between non diffusion areas. By controlling both groups of light sources based on the same target color the dotted look of led light sources can be removed or by controlling the two groups of light sources based on two different colors light effects can be obtained. The illumination device can be included in a moving head light source with a base, a yoke connected rotatably to the base and the head connected rotatably to the head.
