A cabin illumination device is provided on a wall surface of a cabin of a vehicle and illuminates the cabin and includes: a light source disposed to emit light away from the wall surface; and a reflective member disposed to intersect a light axis of light emitted by the light source. The reflective member includes a first protruded surface disposed to intersect the light axis of the light source, and a portion of the reflective member is sloped downward in a direction away from an intersection of the light axis and the first protruded surface.

A support box apparatus includes longitudinal members that span forward to aft and transverse members that span inboard to outboard between the longitudinal members. The longitudinal members and the transverse members are formed of composite honeycomb sandwich panels. The support box apparatus also includes attachment components configured to couple the longitudinal members or the transverse members to structural components of an aircraft, electrical wiring attached to the longitudinal members or the transverse members, environmental control system (ECS) ducting attached to the longitudinal members or the transverse members, and life support lines attached to the longitudinal members or the transverse members.

The invention relates to a method (100) for controlling (106) a lighting scenario of a vehicle (10), in which an image relating to at least one section of an area surrounding the vehicle (10) is captured (102). On the basis of the captured (102) image, a requirement profile relating to the lighting scenario is then determined (104), the lighting scenario being controlled (106) in accordance with the requirement profile.

A surface-mounted luminaire (2) for a passenger cabin (4) of a passenger aircraft (6) comprises a layered, planar base carrier (8), one flat side (10a) of which is a light-emitting side (12) and a plurality of LEDs (14) which are arranged planarly on the light-emitting side (12) of the base carrier (8), wherein a plurality of the LEDs (14) are accent LEDs (LA) which, in operation (B), produce colored light of a selectable color and which are planarly distributed over the base carrier (8), wherein at least two of the accent LEDs (LA) are individually adjustable with respect to a color and brightness of the light they produce in operation (B), wherein a plurality of the LEDs (14) are basic LEDs (LG) which, in operation, produce white light and which are planar distributed over the base carrier (8), wherein at least two of the basic LEDs (LG) are only jointly adjustable with respect to the brightness of the light they produce in operation (B).and wherein a large number of the LEDs (14) in operation (B) are white light-producing emergency LEDs (LN) which are distributed over the surface of the base carrier (8), wherein all emergency LEDs (LN) can be supplied with energy independently of the accent LEDs (LA) and base LEDs (LG).

An aircraft passenger cabin light (2) having an elongated shape having a longitudinal direction (L) comprises: a cabin wall illumination assembly (4), which extends along the longitudinal direction (L) of the aircraft passenger cabin light (2) and which is configured for illuminating a portion of a wall (120) of an aircraft passenger cabin (104); and a plurality of personal reading light units (12a, 12b) for providing personal reading light illumination to passengers. The plurality of personal reading light units (12a, 12b) are arranged in an array extending along the longitudinal direction (L) of the aircraft passenger cabin light (2). Said array is arranged along the cabin wall illumination assembly (4).

A system for controlling lighting on an aircraft, the system comprising a number of sensors, a number of aircraft lights, and a processor. The sensors are configured to detect states of the aircraft. The processor is communicatively coupled with the aircraft lights and is configured to determine that a condition is met according to one of the states detected by one of the plurality of sensors and automatically turn on one of the plurality of aircraft lights when the condition is met.

The invention relates to a method (100) for controlling (106) a lighting scenario of a vehicle (10), in which an image relating to at least a section of the vehicle's (10's) surroundings is captured (102). Based on the captured (102) image, a requirement profile relating to the lighting scenario is then determined (104), according to which the lighting scenario is controlled (106).

The invention relates to a flat panel luminaire (2) for a passenger cabin (4) of a passenger aircraft (6), the luminaire comprising a base carrier (8) which extends over the surface in a layered manner, one flat side (10a) of which forms a light-emitting side (12), and a plurality of LEDs (14) which are distributed over the base carrier (8) and arranged thereon on its light-emitting side (12), wherein a plurality of the LEDs (14) are accent LEDs (LA) which, during operation (B), generate coloured light of selectable colour and are distributed over the surface of the base carrier (8), wherein at least two of the accent LEDs (LA) can be individually adjusted in terms of both the colour and the brightness of the light generated by them during operation (B), wherein a plurality of the LEDs (14) are base LEDs (LG) which, during operation, generate white light and are distributed over the surface of the base carrier (8), wherein at least two of the base LEDs (LG) can only be jointly adjusted in terms of the brightness of the light generated by them during operation (B), and wherein a plurality of the LEDs (14) are emergency LEDs (LN) which, during operation (B), generate white light and are distributed over the surface of the base carrier (8), wherein all emergency LEDs (LN) can be supplied with power independently of the accent LEDs (LA) and base LEDs (LG).

An elongated aircraft cabin light (2) for illuminating a passenger cabin (104) of an aircraft (100) from a ceiling (110) of the passenger cabin (104) comprises: a row arrangement of a plurality of light modules (6, 8), extending along a longitudinal direction (L) of the elongated aircraft cabin light (2). Each of the plurality of light modules (6, 8) comprises at least one light source (10, 12, 14). The plurality of light modules (6, 8) include a plurality of intermediate light modules (6) and, on at least one end of the row arrangement, an end light module (8). Each of said plurality of intermediate light modules (6) is configured for emitting a downward light output (20) and at least one lateral light output (22) towards at least one lateral side. The end light module (8) is configured for emitting a supplementary downward light output (20); at least one supplementary lateral light output (22) towards at least one lateral side; and an upward light output (26), which is emitted from an end face (9) of the end light module (8). The upward light output (26) has a maximum light output intensity direction (MU), which is angled upwards with respect to the longitudinal direction (L) of the elongated aircraft cabin light (2).
