Embodiment Construction

[0045] exist figure 1 In , an exemplary embodiment of a lamp is shown. The lamp includes a device for controlling the properties of the light. The device comprises a first arrangement 1 with an axis 11 which is also shown to the right of the first arrangement 1 for the sake of clarity. The device comprises a second arrangement 2 movable in the direction of an axis 11 and rotatable in a plane 12 substantially perpendicular to the axis 11 , which plane 12 is only shown to the right of the second arrangement 2 for the sake of clarity. The device comprises a controller 3 for controlling a first property of light in response to a movement 21 of the second arrangement 2 along an axis 11 , such as a mechanical movement, and for controlling a first property of light in response to the second arrangement 2 in a plane 12 Rotation 22, such as mechanical rotation, of shaft 11 controls a second property of light different from the first property. The device may further comprise a driver...

Abstract

Devices for controlling attributes of light comprise first arrangements (1) with axes (11), second arrangements (2) shiftable in directions of the axes (11) and rotatable in planes (12) substantially perpendicular to the axes (11), and controllers (3) for in response to the shifts (21) and rotations (22) controlling first and second attributes of the light. The first and second attributes may be attributes of already activated light, such as intensities and colors. The second arrangements (2) may at least partly surround cross sections of the first arrangements (1). The first or second arrangements (1, 2) may comprise terminals (41-48). A current path (34) between at least some of the terminals (41-48) may comprise first and second sections situated at the first and second arrangements (1, 2). One or more of the first and second arrangements (1, 2) may comprise resistive material (31). The controllers (3) may control at least one of the first and second attributes in response to determinations of values of resistances of the current path (34).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to devices for controlling the properties of light. The invention further relates to a lamp comprising the device. An example of such a device is a user interface. Background technique [0002] Traditional lighting supports limited control options, such as turning the lighting on or off. User interfaces for such traditional lighting fixtures have been designed with these limited control options in mind, eg wall switches, trigger buttons, pedal switches. Modern lighting fixtures allow the user to control multiple variables of the emitted light, such as the intensity of the emitted light and the color of the emitted light. While user interfaces for legacy devices may in some cases be adapted to integrate control of these multiple variables in existing designs, this provides a degraded user experience. There is a need to provide an easy and intuitive device for controlling light properties. [0003] JP 2011 171179 discloses cont...
