Abstract:
A motor assembly for slowing down falling speed of a stage light fixture on power failure includes a motor driver, an automatic transfer switch, a capacitive load, and an alternating current motor. In the case that the automatic transfer switch is energized, windings of the alternating current motor are kept connected to the motor driver, and in the case that the automatic transfer switch is deenergized, the windings of the alternating current motor are switched to be connected to the capacitive loads. The motor assembly according to the present disclosure can reduce the falling speed of the stage light fixture in case of the power failure.
Abstract:
A cellular electrowetting array, e.g. for a luminaire, includes a liquid container having opposing transparent windows. The container contains conductive and non-conductive liquids. A grid wall extends from one of the windows at least partially across the interior volume of the container toward the opposite window. The grid wall divides the interior volume into cellular fluidic optics, each containing some conductive liquid and some non-conductive liquid. The individual cells may be square, although other shapes may be used. A first electrode electrically connects to the grid wall; and a second electrode contacts the conductive liquid. System examples combine such an electrowetting array with a positive or negative lens array, e.g. optically coupled to one of the windows of the array. The electrowetting array or a system combining that array with another lens array may be utilized in a luminaire, e.g. to provide a tunable distribution of the general illumination output.
Abstract:
A decorative light can include: a lamp case defining a hollow interior region and having an open front end; a beam splitter located inside the lamp case, the beam splitter defining an interior region; a lighting module located within the interior region of the beam splitter, the lighting module including a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) located thereon; a motor located inside the lamp case, the motor coupled to the beam splitter and adapted to rotate the beam splitter with respect to the lighting module; and a front lens mounted to the open front end of the lamp case. A convertible support stand for an outdoor lighting product is also discussed.
Abstract:
A three-way bulb including light emitting diodes is used to achieve a variety of light output colors and/or intensities. In some embodiments, the inputs to a three-way bulb are configured to perform other functions, such as power a motor. In some embodiments, a bulb including light emitting diodes includes a replicable cover and/or a replicable LED. This cover may be configured to project images or support a shade made of a heat sensitive material.
Abstract:
A driving device according to an embodiment includes a supporting portion, an arm portion and a reinforced portion. The supporting portion includes an electrically-driven first drive source. The arm portion is supported by the supporting portion at one end portion in an extending direction and is, by the first drive source, rotatable about a first rotation axis that is along the extending direction, the arm portion including an electrically-driven second drive source. The reinforced portion is provided inside the arm portion and reinforces the arm portion. An object of operation is mounted on another end portion side of the arm portion and is rotatable about a second rotation axis intersecting the extending direction by the second drive source.
Abstract:
A decorative lighting apparatus including first laser light source providing a first light and a second laser light providing a second light, a switch, and a motion assembly. The switch including a first setting corresponding to the first light source being in an on condition and the second light source being in an off condition, and a second setting corresponding to the first light source and the second light source being in an on condition. The motion assembly being configured to secure at least one optical element in the path of the first light or second light being generated by the first and second laser light sources, and including a motor being coupled to the articulating element such that a movement generated by the motor is imparted to the optical element.
Abstract:
Presented is a multi parameter automated luminaire comprised of a plurality of light engine modules a plurality of which by design homogenize light emitted by its light sources more fully than at least one of the light engine modules which is intentionally designed to noticeably not fully homogenize the light emitted by its light sources. In the preferred embodiment the non homogenizing light engine module also includes light modulator(s) optionally engagable to more fully homogenize the light output from that light engine module.
Abstract:
A zoom unit (1) of a light engine (5), comprising at least one lens (2), at least one first reflector (3) and at least one second reflector (4), other at least one lens (2) receives a collimated beam (LI) from a light source unit (6) of the light engine (5), the collimated beam (LI) being incident on the first reflector (3) after being converged by the lens (2), and being incident on the second reflector (4) after being reflected by the first reflector (3), to produce an output beam (L4) with its beam angle changed.
Abstract:
A laser light decorative lighting apparatus. The laser light decorative lighting apparatus including a laser light source generating a light and a motion assembly. The motion assembly including an articulating optical element disposed in a path of the light being generated by the laser light source and a motor coupled to the articulating element such that a movement generated by the motor drives the articulating optical element. The motion assembly being configured such that the movement driving the articulating optical element by the motor causes the light to move across a surface onto which the light is being projected in a pattern.
Abstract:
A flashlight is operable by a power source. The flashlight includes a body having a first end and a second end. The body is configured to support the power source. The flashlight also includes a first light source positioned adjacent the first end. The first light source is electrically coupled to the power source and fixed relative to the body. The flashlight further includes a second light source coupled to the body. The second light source is movable relative to the first light source about a hinge defining a pivot axis.
