摘要： A light source in the form of a light emitting diode (LED) cluster module suitable for use as an aircraft forward position light source. The light source comprises multiple LED components mounted on a base structure together with supporting electronic components to regulate the function of the LED components. The LED components are configured on the base structure in a manner so as to be capable of complying with the Federal Aviation Regulations minimum light intensities or candela requirements and color specifications while in a preferred implementation using a traditional aircraft 28-volt power supply. Furthermore, the preferred implementations are capable of meeting stringent dimensional design criteria and therefore are suitably adaptable as replacement light sources for existing aircraft forward position light housings.

摘要： A storage and/or retrieval system such as a horizontal carousel has a common light source array consisting of LED's and the like inside the system's rotating or movable carrier loop at a picking or storage access area behind the shelves of a selected carrier. When that carrier is at the desired access position, the common light source transmits light through light transmitting devices to an access face of the carrier at the picking or storing location in relative proximity to the actual compartment's position. The light transmitting devices can be flexible light pipes arranged in patterns dictated by the type of storage required.

摘要： A traffic sign for use in a paved road has a housing with an open upper end. A holder is vertically movably received in the housing. A light emitting unit is installed in the holder to move therewith. A transparent plate is mounted on the holder to move therewith. The transparent plate permits a light from the light emitting unit to transmit therethrough. A space is defined between a bottom of the housing and a lower end of the holder to permit the vertical movement of the holder in the housing. An elastic support ring has an inner wall fixed to an outer surface of the holder and an outer wall fixed to an inner surface of the housing. Projections are formed on the elastic support ring. Each projection projects upward beyond the transparent plate. Recesses are provided by the elastic support ring. Each recess is defined between the projections, so that the light from the light emitting unit is viewed through the transparent plate and each of the recesses.

摘要： A recognition light includes a reflector having an axis and first and second annular semi-parabolic reflective surfaces which have respective focal points axially spaced apart from one another, and first and second annular lamps respectively disposed at the focal points.

A light detector detects light emitted from at least one of the lamps, a monitor circuit provides a fail signal when a characteristic of the light output of at least one of the lamps does not satisfy a specified criteria, and a control circuit first activates the first lamp and then the second lamp in response to receipt of the fail signal of the monitor circuit.

摘要： A storage and/or retrieval system such as a Vertical Carousel (VC) or Vertical Lift Module (VLM), which has a common light source or light source grid, consists of LED's and the like incorporated into the body of the machine in proximity to the access point operator's workstation. When a storage carrier/tray is delivered to the access position, the common light source transmits light through one of a light transmitting element to an access face of the storage compartment position in relative proximity to the actual compartment's position. The light transmitting devices can be arranged in patterns dictated by the type of storage required (i.e., the number of compartments within the tray can vary in size and number) individually for different trays, and are delivered over a grid pattern of light sources for annunciation.

摘要： A recognition light includes a reflector having an axis and first and second annular semi-parabolic reflective surfaces which have respective focal points axially spaced apart from one another, and first and second annular lamps respectively disposed at the focal points. A cover surrounds the reflector and lamps and includes a lens for focusing the light along a plane perpendicular to the axis of the reflector, the lens including first and second Fresnel lens portions each including a convex lens and a prism lens, the convex lenses being disposed adjacent one another and transaxially aligned with the first and second lamps, respectively. A light detector detects light emitted from at least one of the lamps, a monitor circuit provides a fail signal when a characteristic of the light output of at least one of the lamps does not satisfy a specified criteria, and a control circuit first activates the first lamp and then the second lamp in response to receipt of the fail signal of the monitor circuit.

摘要： A dual mode light source unit is configured so that it can be secured into a conventional incandescent bulb socket on the aircraft. The light source has a connector portion that fits in the socket and receives the electrical current supplied thereto by the aircraft electrical system. The unit also comprises electric circuitry connected with the connector portion and a visible light source and an IR light source. The electric circuitry processes the input current from the socket and, based thereon, operates in either a civilian, visible mode or a covert IR mode. Where the current is in one electrical state, such as for example a certain voltage, the electric circuit sends power to the visible light source. When the current is in a different electrical state, e.g., a different voltage level, the circuitry sends power only to the IR source, and no visible light is emitted. Such a system allows for ready upgrade of existing aircraft because all control may be accomplished over a single pair of wires, as are already in existing aircraft wiring systems that do not have IR mode capability. To upgrade, light source units according to the invention can be simply inserted into the existing navigational light sockets.

摘要： The invention relates to a lighting installation, in particular as a danger light, obstruction light or day and night marker, having at least one luminaire, with at least one lighting means (13) being arranged in a housing. According to the invention, the lighting means (13) is annular or semi-annular in design and defines a ring axis (19). Furthermore, the lighting means (13) is assigned at least one reflector surface (11) which encircles an axis of rotation (21) entirely or in part. Finally, ring axis and axis of rotation run essentially parallel or even coaxial to one another.
