[0002] This U.S. non-provisional patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 63 / 667,594, filed July 3, 2024, and U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 63 / 541,131, filed September 28, 2023, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to a portable lighting fixture that can be controlled via an application running on an electronic device such as a smartphone. Background Technology

[0004] Adding lighting to a room is generally desirable, including on the walls or ceiling. This often helps to make the room more attractive and encourages people to spend time in it. Adding lighting to a room is usually limited by at least one of several factors. One factor is the difficulty of installing the lighting, which requires knowledge of electrical wiring or hiring an electrician with knowledge and experience in installing electrical lighting. Another factor is the limited location of the lighting fixtures, which are often confined to studs or beams within the walls or ceiling, such as where fasteners are used to attach to the studs or beams and / or where the lighting fixtures are attached to boxes within the walls or ceiling (e.g., near the studs or beams) or locations that are close to wiring. A third factor is the number of electrical outlets in the room. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, there is a long-standing and unresolved need in the field of lighting solutions for lighting that is simple to install, easy to move or relocate, and minimally affected by the existing setup of the walls or ceiling to which the lighting is attached. Embodiments of this disclosure include easily movable luminaires that can be controlled by an application running on an electronic device. Further embodiments relate to easily installed lighting equipment (or lighting fixtures, or luminaires).

[0006] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure include a base, a plate, and at least one predetermined location on the plate, the base being attachable to and removable from the plate, the at least one predetermined location being for receiving double-sided tape or other adhesive-based mounting tape. The base also includes a housing to which a lampshade, or at least partially surrounding the lamp, is mounted. In some configurations, the lampshade is attached to the housing via an arm. In other configurations, the lampshade is directly attached to the housing. Optionally, the lampshade includes a diffuser positioned within the housing near the lamp.

[0007] In one embodiment, the panel may include a notch (or a notch area, or a notch portion) that allows a user to pull the end of the adhesive tape to release the adhesive tape from the wall. The adhesive tape may be attached to the back of the panel. Optionally, the tail end or tail portion of the adhesive tape extends into the notch. The tail end or tail portion located within the notch allows a user to pull the end of the adhesive tape in the notch (which releases the adhesive tape) even though the panel is attached to the wall. Thus, a movable light fixture can be placed on and removed from the wall without damaging or otherwise altering the wall (e.g., without placing fasteners such as screws and / or drywall anchors in the wall).

[0008] In one embodiment, the level may be built into the plate and / or base. The level may be configured to allow the plate and / or base to be leveled when mounted to a wall.

[0009] In this embodiment, the battery is insertable into and removable from the base of the lighting fixture. The battery can be configured to provide power to the movable luminaire. The battery and / or base may include electronics operable to send and / or receive signals from a controller (e.g., a remote control, smartphone, computer, or other device operable to send and / or receive signals). The battery and / or base may have a specific or unique identification code that allows a user to control the lighting individually or in a group or subset of multiple lighting fixtures. The battery may include a rechargeable battery and / or a holder operable to receive a disposable battery.

[0010] In this embodiment, the movable luminaire is configured to allow it to be attached to a first location, removed from the first location, and reattached multiple times to different locations as needed by the user. In some cases, the user can peel off and remove the protective tape on the adhesive tape attached to the back of the plate of the base. During installation, an optional level can be used to ensure that the plate is in the desired position before firmly pressing it against the wall. The housing of the base can then be rotated (e.g., clockwise or counterclockwise) to attach the housing to the plate. A battery can be inserted into the base (e.g., into the housing) to provide power to the lighting element attached to (or mounted on) the housing of the base.

[0011] If the movable light fixture needs to be moved after being attached to the wall, the light can be unscrewed (e.g., rotated clockwise or counterclockwise) to unscrew and remove the housing from the plate. The adhesive tape includes a tail end that is optionally accessible via a notch in the plate. The tail end of the adhesive tape is accessible (e.g., via the optional notch) to stretch the adhesive tape and separate it from the wall. Once both adhesive tapes have been stretched and separated from the wall, the base can be easily removed from the wall and moved to different locations.

[0012] Once separated, new adhesive tape can optionally be applied to the back of the board. The process of moving and attaching the movable luminaire to different locations can be repeated as needed.

[0013] In this embodiment, the application (i.e., the software program) may run on an electronic device or controller (such as, but not limited to, a smartphone) to control one or more movable light fixtures. For example, the application may communicate with components within a battery installed in and / or inserted into the base that are capable of sending and / or receiving data. It should be understood that the application may run on other types of electronic devices, such as, but not limited to, computers, laptops, tablets, or other types of mobile electronic devices.

[0119] The accompanying drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. In some cases, details that are not necessary for understanding this disclosure or that make other details difficult to perceive may have been omitted. Of course, it should be understood that this disclosure is not necessarily limited to the embodiments shown herein. As will be understood, other embodiments are possible, either alone or in combination, using one or more features set forth above or described below. For example, it is conceivable that various features and means shown and / or described with respect to one embodiment may be combined or substituted with features or means of other embodiments, regardless of whether such combinations or substitutions are specifically shown or described herein.

[0120] In the following description of various embodiments, components, sub-assemblies, and / or components of the lighting systems of different embodiments are identified by the same reference numerals. Corresponding components, sub-assemblies, and / or components between two embodiments that differ in at least some respects are identified by the same reference numerals, but may include suffixes such as letters (e.g., 4 to 4A, etc.). Detailed Implementation

[0121] The following description illustrates various aspects and embodiments as disclosed herein. The embodiments provide non-limiting examples of various compositions and methods included within the scope of the claimed disclosure. This description is intended to be read by one of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, it does not necessarily include information well known to one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0122] Unless otherwise specified herein, the following terms and phrases shall have the meanings indicated below. This disclosure may employ other terms and phrases not expressly defined herein. These other terms and phrases shall have the meanings they possess in the context of this disclosure for those skilled in the art. In some cases, a term or phrase may be defined in a singular or plural form. In such cases, it should be understood that, unless expressly stated to the contrary, any singular form of a term may include its plural counterpart, and vice versa.

[0123] As used herein, “double-sided tape” or “double-sided strip” refers to a tape or other adhesive-based installation strip having pressure-sensitive adhesive exposed on both sides.

However, it should be understood that many adhesive formulations that can be used with this disclosure are designed to be removed without leaving any residue. It is conceivable that double-sided tape may have the same adhesive on both sides, or two different adhesives may be used. 3M VHB tape, 3M Thin Adhesive Tape, and 3M Foam Tape are examples of double-sided tapes.

[0124] As used herein, “removable luminaire” and “poplight” are considered equivalent, referring to a light (or luminaire or lighting fixture) that can be installed, removed, moved, and reinstalled multiple times as needed between one or more different locations.

[0125] Adding one or more lights to a room can transform it from a dark cave into a warm paradise. However, many homes are built with limited lighting options. Adding lighting to rooms in these homes can be difficult because electricians or contractors often need to rewire the house to install the lights. Furthermore, these homes are typically constructed with a limited number of electrical outlets. Therefore, adding lights is limited by the number of electrical outlets (and the available floor space).

[0126] Another consideration is that dormitories and rental properties often have restrictions on how objects are attached to the walls. Many dormitories and rental properties do not allow objects to be nailed or screwed into the walls. This severely limits the possibility of adding lights or other objects to the walls.

[0127] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure relate to a repositionable lighting fixture capable of installing electrical lighting without the need for electrical work. The lighting fixture can be installed anywhere on a wall or ceiling without wiring. The lighting fixture is lightweight enough to eliminate the need for a box near a column or beam. The lighting fixture is attached to the wall or ceiling using adhesive-based mounting strips that do not damage or otherwise alter the wall or ceiling (e.g., using fasteners, anchors, etc.). By using the adhesive-based mounting strips, the lighting fixture can be installed, removed, moved, and reinstalled as needed by the user.

[0128] Embodiments of this disclosure also relate to onboard power sources, such as removable batteries (e.g., which may or may not be rechargeable). In the case of removable batteries that are rechargeable, the battery can be removed and charged separately (e.g., via a USB port or via inductive charging), or it can be charged via a USB port on the base of the lighting fixture (or on the battery itself). The battery and / or base of the lighting fixture can house electronics that communicate with a controller such as a remote control, a smartphone running an application, or a computer. The controller can be used to control one or more lighting fixtures individually or in subsets or groups as needed by a user, wherein a unique identifier for each lighting fixture is housed in the base and / or battery.

[0129] Figure 1A-8D The portable lighting device 100 is shown in general. It should be understood that, regarding... Figure 1A-8D The terms “lighting fixtures”, “lamp”, and “lamp” can be used interchangeably.

[0130] Now for reference Figure 1A-2 Perspective view and partially exploded perspective view of the movable luminaire 100. The movable luminaire 100 includes a base 102, an optional arm 104 extending from the base 102 at a first end 106 to a second end 108, and a lampshade 110 connected to the arm 104 at the second end 108. It should be understood that the arm 104 is optional because the lampshade 110 can be directly coupled to the base 102 (e.g., for flush or substantially flush wall lamp designs) without departing from the scope of this disclosure.

[0131] As shown, the lampshade 110 is spherical (e.g., with a circular cross-section), but in other embodiments, the lampshade 110 can be of any shape or size without departing from the scope of this disclosure. For example, the lampshade 110 can be hemispherical, conical, truncated conical, cylindrical, rectangular prism, or any polygonal shape including up to N surfaces. In some non-limiting examples, the lampshade 110 can be tetrahedral, hexahedral, octahedral, dodecahedral, or icosahedral. As another example, the lampshade 110 can be shaped to represent a particular sport, hobby, natural theme, popular culture reference, or historical reference. For example, the lampshade 110 can be spherical, including basketball, football, baseball or softball, tennis, golf ball, rugby ball, etc.

[0132] In the implementation method, such as Figure 1A As shown, the lampshade 110 may include a seam 109 to remove a portion of the lampshade 110 from the remainder of the lampshade 110 attached to the base 102. For example, a portion of the lampshade 110 may be removed to interact with the lighting element 136, as described in further detail herein. In other embodiments, such as Figure 1B and 8AAs shown in -8D, the lampshade 110 may be a single component that can be removed from the base 102 (e.g., from the collar 150, as described in further detail herein) to interact with the lighting element 136 and / or other components housed within the lampshade 110 without departing from the scope of this disclosure.

[0133] In one embodiment, the lampshade 110 may be made of one or more pieces of plastic, metal, and / or fabric. In another embodiment, the lampshade 110 may be opaque, translucent (e.g., with an optional coating to diffuse light), or transparent.

[0134] refer to Figure 2 The base 102 is configured to receive a battery pack or battery 111. Battery 111 may include any desired type of battery. For example, battery 111 may be rechargeable. As another example, battery 111 may include a holder for a disposable battery such as AA, AAA, AAAA, or any other known disposable battery size. In some embodiments, battery 111 may be made of lithium and / or nickel. As described further in detail herein, battery 111 may be removed from base 102 for charging and reinsertion, interchanged with another battery 111 (e.g., a charged battery), and / or allow replacement of disposable batteries within the holder.

[0135] The base 102 includes a housing 112. In some embodiments, the housing 112 includes a battery slot 113 configured to receive a battery 111. In some embodiments, the outline of the outer surface 141 of the battery 111 conforms to the outer surface of the housing 112 (e.g., sidewall 127, end wall, or end face, etc.) (e.g., as shown in the figure). Figures 8A-8B As shown), to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the lighting fixture 100. However, it is conceivable that the battery 111 may have an outer surface that does not conform to the housing 112 (e.g., as shown). Figure 2 (as shown) and / or may include notches configured to receive one or more user fingers to increase the surface contact area for the user when replacing battery 111. It is also conceivable that the battery 111 may be sized to be completely housed within the housing 112, such that a cover can be mounted above the battery 111 within the housing 112 (e.g., within the sidewall or end face of the housing 112) to protect the battery compartment 113.

[0136] like Figures 8A-8BAs shown, battery 111 engages housing 112 via an interlocking assembly. For example, the interlocking assembly may have a clip 133 or other actuable component (e.g., a movable hinge or other flexible member) that engages a socket 135 within housing 112. As another example, battery 111 may have a recess that engages a protrusion within battery slot 113 to hold battery 111 in place within housing 112. Battery 111 can be removed by pulling or prying motions to overcome the locking force provided by housing 112 on battery 111. Furthermore, battery slot 113 may include a biasing element or other mechanism that allows battery 111 to be pressed into housing 112 and ejected due to the biasing force provided by the biasing element on battery 111.

[0137] In the case where the lighting fixture 100 includes an arm 104, the first end 106 of the arm 104 may be fixed to the housing 112 (e.g., via adhesive, via a non-releasable interlocking assembly, formed as a single integrated part during manufacturing using injection molding, 3D printing, or other additive manufacturing processes). Alternatively, the first end 106 of the arm 104 may be coupled to the housing 112 and removable from the housing 112 (e.g., via a releasable interlocking assembly, threads, etc.).

[0138] In one embodiment, arm 104 further includes a curved portion 107 to angle the lampshade 110 relative to base 102. For example, this angle may be a 90-degree angle (e.g., as shown in the illustrated embodiment), or it may be an obtuse angle (e.g., an obtuse angle where the lampshade 110 points outward from the wall surface, or an acute angle where the lampshade 110 points inward toward the wall surface). It should be understood that in other embodiments, arm 104 may include one or more curved portions or curved portions 107 having any angle, or may not include curved portions or curved portions 107 (e.g., arm 104 may be straight).

[0139] Now for reference Figure 3 The image shows a rear view of the movable luminaire 100. In one embodiment, the base 102 includes a plate 114 that engages the housing 112 via an interlocking assembly. For example, the plate 114 may include one or more tabs or protrusions 115, each tab or protrusion 115 engaging a corresponding recess or hole 117 on the housing 112. As another example, the plate 114 includes a recess for receiving tabs from the housing 112. Typically, the housing 112 and the plate 114 may include any interlocking features or assemblies that allow the housing 112 to engage with (and disengage from) the plate 114, including rotation about a common axis passing through both the housing 112 and the plate 114.

[0140] In one embodiment, plate 114 may optionally include a level 116. In other embodiments, housing 112 may include a level 116. The level 116 helps the user ensure that the movable luminaire 100 is attached to the wall in a horizontal orientation. The level 116 may be fitted into a recess or hole in plate 114 and / or housing 112. In some cases, the level 116 is positioned near the top edge of plate 114. As shown in Figure 1, Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, once the housing 112 is attached, the level 116 can be concealed when the housing 112 is attached to the plate 114. This allows the level 116 to help mount the plate 114 in a horizontal direction, and then once the movable luminaire 100 is attached to the plate 114, the level 116 is hidden from view. Keeping the level 116 invisible is likely desirable to present a streamlined and professional appearance for the movable luminaire 100.

[0141] Now for reference Figure 4-7 The additional features of plate 114 will be described in detail below. Plate 114 may be formed from one or more solid materials, such as plastic, metal, metal alloy, etc. In some embodiments, plate 114 may be formed from the same material as housing 112, but in other embodiments, plate 114 may be formed from a different material than housing 112. Plate 114 includes at least a rear side 121 (e.g., facing a wall when mounted) and a front side 123 of housing 112 connected to base 102. The rear side 121 of plate 114 also includes a recessed region 125. Recessed region 125 includes one or more structural features configured to mount luminaire 100, the details of which are described below.

[0142] like Figure 4 As shown, the back surface 121 of the panel 114 can be mounted to a wall using one or more adhesive tapes 118. In the illustrated embodiment, the recessed area 125 of the panel 114 includes at least two rectangular raised surfaces 120 arranged parallel to each other. The recessed area 125 also includes one or more holes aligned with one or more tabs or protrusions 115 on the front side 123 for connection to corresponding holes 117 (not shown) in the base 102.

[0143] In this embodiment, two adhesive tapes 118A and 118B are shown; however, it should be understood that in other embodiments, one or more adhesive tapes 118 may include one, two, or more than two adhesive tapes. The one or more adhesive tapes 118 may be, for example, double-sided tape, which can be removably attached to the back 121 of the panel 114 on one side and removably attached to the wall on the other side. The one or more adhesive tapes 118 may include an adhesive formulated to be cleanly removed from the wall and panel 114 after use. Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, adhesive tape 118 is disposed on raised surfaces 120A and 120B. In this embodiment, the two adhesive tapes 118 are double-layered and double-sided adhesive tapes.

[0144] Although embodiments of this disclosure relate to the use of adhesive tape 118, plate 114 includes holes 119 that may optionally be used to attach plate 114 to a wall via fasteners. The holes may or may not be threaded, depending on the type of fasteners used. In this regard, it should be understood that attachment to a wall via adhesive tape 118 is not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0145] As described above and as Figure 5 As shown (also in) Figure 4 and Figure 6 (See center mark). Panel 114 includes one or more raised surfaces 120 on which one or more adhesive tapes 118 can be placed. The one or more raised surfaces 120 provide a visual guide for the placement of the one or more adhesive tapes 118 and ensure that the one or more adhesive tapes 118 are positioned optimally relative to panel 114 and movable luminaire 100. In an alternative embodiment, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, the raised surfaces 120 are instead embedded surfaces within the thickness of panel 114, similarly used to position the adhesive tapes 118 correctly on panel 114. Thus, the one or more raised surfaces 120 ensure that the one or more adhesive tapes 118 are properly placed to secure and hold the movable luminaire 100 to the wall.

[0146] In the illustrated embodiment, one or more raised surfaces 120 include two raised surfaces 120A, 120B; however, in other embodiments, one or more raised surfaces 120 may include one raised surface, two raised surfaces, or more than two raised surfaces. The one or more raised surfaces 120 may have a textured surface or a smooth surface. Each of the one or more raised surfaces 120 has raised surface lengths 122A, 122B and raised surface widths 124A, 124B. The widths of the raised surfaces 124A, 124B may be substantially equal to the widths of the two adhesive strips 118A, 118B. In other embodiments, the raised surface widths may be greater than or less than the widths of the two adhesive strips 118A, 118B. The lengths of the raised surfaces 122A, 122B may be less than the lengths of the two adhesive strips 118A, 118B, such that the tail ends 128A, 128B of the two adhesive strips 118A, 118B extend beyond the plate 114, such as... Figure 4 , 6As shown in Figure 7. In such embodiments, the tail ends 128A, 128B may extend into the window or recess 130 at the distal end of the plate 114. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the lengths of the raised surfaces 122A, 122B may be substantially equal to or less than the lengths of the two adhesive strips 118A, 118B.

[0147] In the illustrated embodiment, one or more (e.g., two in some non-limiting examples) adhesive tapes 118A, 118B have two long edges and two short edges. When the adhesive tapes 118A, 118B are placed on the raised surfaces 120A, 120B, the user aligns the long edges of the adhesive tapes with the long edges of the raised surfaces 120A, 120B, and similarly aligns the short edges of the adhesive tapes 118A, 118B with the short edges of the raised surfaces 120A, 120B. It should be understood that in some embodiments, the raised surfaces 120A, 120B and the adhesive tapes 118A, 118B may be rectangular or may not be rectangular, and the shape of the adhesive tapes 118A, 118B may or may not match the shape of the raised surfaces 120A, 120B. In any case, the designated raised surfaces 120A, 120B effectively provide visual guidance to the user to correctly place the adhesive tapes 118A, 118B.

[0148] It is conceivable that the raised surface 120 also helps to create an unobstructed finish between the end of the base and the wall, including by lifting the plate 114 away from the wall so that the sidewalls of the housing 112 (when attached to the plate 114) are spaced a predetermined amount from the wall to avoid damaging or otherwise altering the wall.

[0149] like Figure 5 As shown, the recessed area 125 of the plate includes a notch 130, wherein the notch 130 includes a notch width 134 and a notch height 132. The notch width 134 spans the distance between the first edge 137A and the second edge 137B of the raised surface 120. The notch height 132 is substantially equal to or less than the length of the tail ends 128A, 128B of the two adhesive strips 118A, 118B. The dimensions of the notch 130 are such that when the housing 112 is removed from the plate 114 (e.g., ... Figure 7 and Figure 15 As shown), the tail ends 128A and 128B are accessible to the user, and when the housing 112 is mounted on the plate 114 (as shown). Figure 13 As shown in Figures 1-3, the tail ends 128A and 128B are also hidden. As shown in the comparison of Figures 1-3, when the housing 112 is attached to the plate 114, the housing 112 completely covers the front side 123 and rear side 121 of the plate 114 because the sidewall 127 of the housing 112 has a cross-section equal to or greater than the circumference of the plate 114. Therefore, when attached to the plate 114, the adhesive tape 118 is also hidden by the housing 112. Conversely, as... Figure 7 As shown, when the housing 112 is removed from the plate 114, the front side 123 of the plate is exposed to the user, and the tail end 128 of the adhesive tape 118 is visible and accessible through the notch 130. In the illustrated embodiment, when the housing 112 is removed from the plate 114, only the tail end 128 is visible to the user, and the remaining adhesive portion of the adhesive tape 118 remains hidden by the plate 114. It should be understood that in some other embodiments, all or part of the adhesive portion of the adhesive tape 118 may also be visible and accessible when the housing 112 is separated from the plate 114. The notch 130 also provides space between the housing 112 and the wall for the tail ends 128A, 128B, so that the tail ends 128A, 128B do not push against the housing 112.

[0150] During the removal of the movable light fixture 100 from the wall, the housing 112 is removed from the plate 114. After the housing 112 is removed, the tail ends 128A, 128B are exposed in the recess 130, as shown. Figure 7 As shown. A user can pull the tail ends 128A, 128B in the direction of arrow 139 to release the two adhesive tapes 118A, 118B from the wall, and then remove the two adhesive tapes 118A, 118B and the plate 114 from the wall. In some embodiments, the front side 123 of the plate 114 includes a marking 126. For example, the marking 126 may include instructions for installing the plate 114 and / or removing the plate 114 from the wall. For example, an example set of instructions might be “Remove: Slowly pull down the labels below one at a time. While pulling, place one hand firmly on the base,” which describes one method of removing the plate 114 from the wall by engaging the tail ends 128A, 128B of the adhesive tapes 118A, 118B. Alternatively, the marking 126 may be a manufacturer's or retailer's logo, or other information related to the light fixture 100.

[0151] like Figures 8A to 8D As shown, the lighting element 136 (e.g., a disposable light bulb, a light-emitting diode (LED), or any other light-generating element) may be positioned within the lampshade 110 (e.g., where the lampshade 110 at least partially surrounds the lighting element 136) or near the end of the lampshade 110 (e.g., where the lighting element 136 illuminates the lampshade 110).

[0152] Similarly, Figures 8A-8DAs shown, the diffuser 138 may optionally (e.g., alternatively or additionally) be mounted within the lampshade 110 and coupled to the lampshade 110 via an interlocking assembly. In an embodiment, the diffuser 138 may include one or more tabs or protrusions 140 that engage one or more corresponding recesses 142 on the neck 144 of the lampshade 110. However, it is contemplated that the arrangement of the protrusions 140 and recesses 142 may be reversed on the diffuser 138 and the neck 144 without departing from the scope of this disclosure. Additionally, it should be understood that the diffuser 138 may be coupled to the lampshade 110 via another interlocking system such as threads or adhesive without departing from the scope of this disclosure.

[0153] In embodiments, the neck 144 may be coupled to the collar 150 via an interlocking assembly. For example, the neck 144 may include one or more additional recesses 146 that engage one or more corresponding tabs or protrusions 148 on the collar 150, which are operable to receive the lampshade 110. In some cases, the collar 150 is located at or near a second end 108 of an optional arm 104. In other cases, the collar 150 is located on the base 102 (e.g., on the housing 112, as described further in detail herein). However, it is contemplated that the arrangement of the recesses 146 and protrusions 148 may be reversed on the neck 144 and collar 150 without departing from the scope of this disclosure. Additionally, it should be understood that the neck 144 may be coupled to the collar 150 via another interlocking system, such as threads or adhesives, without departing from the scope of this disclosure.

[0154] Although the embodiments illustrate a double-layer attachment system with interlocking assemblies between diffuser 138 and neck 144 and between neck 144 and collar 150, it should be understood that diffuser 138 may also be directly coupled to collar 150 via interlocking assemblies without departing from the scope of this disclosure.

[0155] To aid in thermal regulation, in some embodiments, the diffuser 138 may optionally include one or more recesses 152 that allow air circulation without affecting the diffusion of light from the lighting element 136. For example, without the recesses 152, the lighting element 136 may generate heat when confined within the diffuser 138, which may accumulate and cause damage to the diffuser 138 and / or other components of the lighting fixture 100.

[0156] Although embodiments of this disclosure relate to an illumination element 136 within a lampshade 110, it should be understood that the illumination element 136 may emit light directly from the housing 112 with or without a diffuser 138, without requiring a lampshade 110 to at least partially surround the illumination element 136. In this respect, the use of the lampshade 110 is merely exemplary and should be construed as limiting the scope of this disclosure.

[0157] It should be understood that any representation of a lampshade 110 with or without seam 109 may be used with any embodiment of the lighting fixture 100 as described throughout this disclosure. For example, a lampshade 110 with seam 109 may also include a neck 144 for engagement with a collar 150, or vice versa, thereby providing the user with access to a greater number of lighting elements 136 and / or diffusers 138 without departing from the scope of this disclosure.

[0158] Figures 9 to 18 The installation and movement of the movable luminaire 100 to one or more different locations are illustrated. Specifically, Figure 9 It is a description Figure 10-18 The flowchart shown illustrates the steps for installing and moving the movable luminaire 100 to one or more different locations as needed over time.

[0159] exist Figure 10 and Figure 11 In this process, the backing of the adhesive tape 118 is peeled off from the plate 114 and removed 1001. The plate 114 can be made of any material, including but not limited to lightweight materials such as hard plastic or lightweight metals such as aluminum. Figure 10 This is an illustration of the back 121 of board 114, the back of level 116, and two adhesive tapes 118, which are two double-sided tapes with a protective backing 129. Figure 11 This is an illustration of the back 121 of board 114, the back of level 116, and two adhesive tapes 118, without the protective backing 129, which has been removed to expose the adhesive surface 131. Removing the protective backing 129 from the adhesive tapes 118 prepares to press the adhesive tapes 118 against the wall at the desired location to attach board 114 to the wall.

[0160] Figure 12 and Figure 13 This is a diagram of the front side 123 of the mounting base 102, where the rear side 121 of the plate 114 is mounted to the wall. Figure 12 In this process, before pressing the plate 114 to attach the adhesive tape 118 to the wall, the plate 114 is leveled against the wall 1002. A built-in level is used before firmly pressing it against the wall. A portion of each of the two adhesive tapes 118 (e.g., tail 128) may extend into a recess 130 or window formed in the bottom of the plate 114. This exposes a portion of the adhesive tape 118 so that when the movable light fixture 100 needs to be moved, both adhesive tapes 118 can be pulled to release their adhesive without adhering to the wall. In the illustrated embodiment, both tail 128 extend into the recess 130 and are exposed to the user. The user can pull the tail 128 to remove the plate 114 from the wall.

[0161] Figure 12 The method of leveling the board 114 before pressing it against the wall to allow the exposed adhesive surface 131 to adhere to the wall is also shown. Figure 12 As shown, to adjust plate 114, the user will first hold plate 114 against the wall without attaching housing 112 to plate 114. When housing 112 is separated from plate 114, level 116 is exposed and visible to the user. The user can rotate and / or otherwise move plate 114 while referring to level 116 to adjust the orientation of plate 114, thereby ensuring the levelness (or any desired orientation) of plate 114 on the wall.

[0162] Once the board 114 is adjusted to the desired position and orientation (e.g., by checking the level 116), the user can secure the board 114 by pressing it against the wall. By applying pressure to the board 114 against the wall, the adhesive surface 131 will adhere to the wall, thus securing the board to the wall. Figure 13 As shown, the user can then release their hand from the board 114, and the tail end 128 of the adhesive tape 118 remains visible to the user. If the user is not satisfied with the board's positioning, the user can pull the tail end 128 to release the board 114 from the wall (e.g., as shown). Figure 17 As shown). After applying the new adhesive tape 118 (e.g., as shown) Figure 18 As shown), the user can repeat the leveling and fixing steps until plate 114 is fixed in the desired position and orientation.

[0163] exist Figure 14 and Figure 15 In this configuration, the housing and lamp shape are rotated 1003 to a position attached to plate 114. The housing 112 is rotated onto plate 114 such that a hole 117 on the housing 112 engages a tab or protrusion 115 (not shown) on plate 114. Alternatively, the tab or protrusion 115 on plate 114 may function like a threaded nut (or bolt) to receive a corresponding threaded snap, flange, or bolt (or nut) that is part of the housing 112.

[0164] Figure 14 This is a diagram of housing 112, in which lampshade 110 and optional arm 104 are placed on plate 114 before being rotated into position. Figure 15This is an illustration of housing 112, wherein the lampshade 110 and optional arm 104 are mounted on plate 114 after housing 112 has been rotated into place. In the illustrated embodiment, the user rotates housing 112 together with optional arm 104 and lampshade 110 onto plate 114. It should be understood that in other embodiments, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, housing, optional arm, and lampshade may each be mounted separately onto plate 114. For example, the user may first attach housing 112 to plate 114, attach optional arm 104 to housing 112, and then install lampshade 110. As another example, the user may first attach housing 112 to plate 114 and then directly install lampshade 110. It should also be understood that in some other embodiments, the attachment step may include pushing, clamping, screwing, and applying other forces by the user.

[0165] exist Figure 16 In this case, battery 111 (which may include one or more rechargeable batteries, or may include a holder for one or more disposable batteries) is inserted 1004 into housing 112. Figure 16 This illustration shows the battery 111 being inserted into or removed from the housing 112. In the illustrated embodiment, the housing 112 includes a battery slot 113 at the edge of the housing 112 within the sidewall 127. After the housing 112 is attached to a mounting plate 114 on the wall, the user inserts the battery 111 into the battery slot 113. In some other embodiments, the user may insert the battery 111 into the housing 112 before attaching it to the plate 114.

[0166] If the movable light fixture 100 needs to be moved after being attached to the wall, the lampshade 110 and housing 112 can be rotated off the plate 114 and removed 1005. Figure 17 This is an illustration of panel 114 after installation, where lampshade 110 and housing 112 have been removed, and right adhesive tape 118 has been stretched so that the right double-sided tape no longer holds panel 114 to the wall. A similar process can be applied to left adhesive tape 118 to completely remove panel 114 from the wall. Figure 17 The image shows the right adhesive tape 118 being stretched to separate the right adhesive tape 118 from the wall. This process can be repeated for the left adhesive tape 118; that is, the left adhesive tape 118 can be stretched to separate the left adhesive tape 118 from the wall. Once both adhesive tapes 118 are stretched, the board 114 can be easily removed from the wall and moved to different locations.

[0167] New adhesive tape 118 can be applied to the back of board 114, such as... Figure 18 As shown. Figure 18This is an illustration of the back 121 of panel 114 after two new adhesive tapes 118 with protective backing 129 have been applied to it. After removing the old pair of adhesive tapes 118 from the wall, the stretched adhesive tapes 118 will at least partially lose their adhesive properties, and the user can then remove the non-adhesive tape from panel 114. When the user wants to reinstall panel 114, the user can then add a new pair of adhesive tapes 118 to panel 114 and repeat the installation steps as described above. The process of moving and attaching the movable light fixture 100 to different locations can be repeated as needed.

In other non-limiting examples, the charging port 214 may typically be located within the housing 112 (e.g., within the outer surface of a sidewall 127 or end wall or end face). It should be noted that the circuitry of the luminaire 100A may be designed to allow the luminaire 100A to operate on direct power from the charging port 214, with or without the battery 111 installed, without departing from the scope of this disclosure.

[0177] The potentiometer 206 (or generally any switching device within the luminaire 100A) can be controlled by an application running on the controller 216 (e.g., a smartphone, tablet, computer, etc.). The controller 216 includes a processor 218 and a memory 220. The processor 218 can be configured to execute program instructions held on or stored in the memory 220. The processor 218 of the controller 216 can perform any of the various method or process steps necessary to operate the luminaire 100A. The memory can be non-transitory memory.

[0178] Controller 216 may include user interface 222. For example, user interface 222 and controller 216 may reside in a common or shared housing. As another example, user interface 222 may be a separate device coupled (e.g., physical connection, electrical connection, communication connection, etc.) to controller 216. User interface 222 may include one or more visual, auditory, or tactile outputs (e.g., displays), one or more visual, auditory, or tactile inputs (e.g., user input devices), and / or one or more port connectors (e.g., for sending and / or receiving power and / or data, etc.).

One or more transmitters and / or receivers may be configured to transmit data to and / or receive data from luminaire 100A and / or controller 216 directly or indirectly via an additional controller or server or other network component 226 (e.g., Wi-Fi router, etc.), or to receive data from other control units (e.g., additional controllers, etc.) via wired or wireless connections (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Near Field Communication Protocol, etc.). Tx / Rx units 210 and 224 can be configured as a transmitting (Tx) unit, a receiving (Rx) unit, or a combined Tx / Rx unit.

[0180] Controller 216 can be configured to monitor and / or control luminaire 100A by receiving and / or transmitting data. Controller 216 can be configured to generate control signals via a feedback loop or feedforward loop based on the received and / or transmitted data to adjust one or more components of luminaire 100A (e.g., increase or decrease brightness, place illumination element 136 on a timer, or similar). Luminaire 100A and / or controller 216 can be configured to receive and / or transmit data in standardized and / or non-standardized formats. In the case of non-standardized data, the data can be converted to a standardized format upon reception and / or before transmission to sensors, other control units, etc.

[0181] The battery 111 shown in the example is an interchangeable and rechargeable battery with a unique identifier (unique ID) as part of the Tx / Rx unit 210 or on a near-field communication (NFC) tag, radio frequency identification (RFID) chip, etc. The unique ID is connectable and identifiable within the control system 200 (e.g., via controller 216). Therefore, when connected to the control application 1100 or application interface 1100 (e.g., such as...), Figures 20 to 54 When the unique ID (as shown) is displayed, the unique ID or other representative information corresponding to the unique ID (such as the defined name) will be identified and displayed on the control application 1100 to allow the user to select a specific lamp 100 for management.

[0182] Figure 19A A control system 200A with a circuit board 204 is shown, wherein the Tx / Rx unit 210 is located within the battery 111, such that replacing the battery 111 also changes the unique ID of the luminaire 100A. Figure 19BA variant control system 200B for luminaire 100A is shown; however, the circuit board 204 and Tx / Rx unit 210 are mounted within the housing 112 of the base 102, such that replacing the battery 111 does not alter the unique ID of luminaire 100A. Without departing from the scope of this disclosure, the control application 1100 on controller 216 can be operable for any arrangement of components and subsequent signal processing and generation.

[0183] Since one or more embodiments of this disclosure are described as being operable on or with circuit board 204 and / or controller 216 (e.g., including but not limited to via a control application or application interface 1100), it should be understood that one or more embodiments of this disclosure should be considered as computer-implemented inventions and / or computer-implemented methods.

In some other embodiments, other types and themes of light warmth options may be available.

[0190] Figure 23-24 An application interface 1100 is shown that can be used to set a timer for how long a light should remain on. Figure 23 In the application interface 1100, users can set 30 minutes, one hour, or a custom time based on the selected icon. The 30-minute and one-hour settings are pre-programmed, and users do not need to manually input the time. If the user desires a different time length, they can click the customization icon 1402 and enter specific hour and minute numbers to set the time. In this example, icon 1402 is selected, allowing for custom time input. Once the user has entered the time, they can set the timer by clicking the settings icon 1404. Figure 24 In the illustrated example, a custom timer of 15 minutes is entered and selected on the application interface 1100.

[0191] Figure 25 This is an application interface 1100 that can be used to adjust the brightness of a group of lights. This capability allows for individual brightness selection for one or more movable lights 100 in the same group, which is selected by the user on the application interface 1100 and determined by the controller 216 based on the known unique ID of each light 100.

[0192] Figure 26-28 Application interface 1100 is used to guide a user on how to use the Bluetooth connection between controller 216 (e.g., a smartphone) and portable light fixture 100. In this example, application interface 1100 instructs the user to turn on Bluetooth on their electronic device and be within 10 feet of portable light fixture 1700. Once Bluetooth is on, the control device (i.e., the smartphone) will automatically or manually search for available light fixtures that can be connected to the control device and display the names of the available light fixtures on the screen. Figure 27 In the exemplary embodiment shown, two available light fixtures are available, and their unique IDs (or names) are displayed on a name banner 1800 on the application interface 1100. For example... Figure 28 As shown, by selecting the desired light fixture and pressing or tapping the add icon 1900, the user can connect the application and the light fixture and control the light fixture 100 directly from the application.

[0193] Figures 29-31This section generally explains how to add the new light fixture 100 to the application interface 1100. Specifically, Figure 29 This is the application interface 1100, which can be used to display a main page with options 2000 for My Pop-up Lights, Adjusting Settings, Adding Pop-up Lights, and Managing Groups. In this example, four different movable light fixtures 2002 have been added, paired, or synchronized with the system. Figure 29 As shown, when My Pop-up Light is selected, the application interface 1100 also displays the light fixture icon 2002 of the currently connected light fixture 100 and its status, such as whether the light fixture 100 is on or off.

[0194] Figure 30 This is an application interface 1100 that can be used to create light groups. In this example, groups 1, 2, and 3 are shown, and group 1 is selected. When group 1 is selected, the screen displays four movable light fixture icons 2002 representing four connected light fixtures 100 organized under group 1. By pressing the group icon 2102, identical light fixtures 100 can be organized and placed in different groups as needed.

[0195] Figure 31 It is an application interface 1100 that can be used to display menu items My Pop-up Lights, adjust settings, add pop-up lights and manage groups, and show applications without added movable lights. Figure 31 The screen display is further illustrated when no light fixture 100 is connected to the application and control device. Figure 29 Unlike the previous example, here, the light fixture icon is not displayed. Instead, the application interface 1100 will show the light without a pop-up light, along with the add icon 2200. The option to add a pop-up light strip is also presented to provide the user with information for use with pop-up lights. Figure 26-28 The button in the application interface 1100.

[0196] Figures 32-36 The overall diagram shows an application interface 1100 for grouping the luminaires 100. Specifically, Figure 32 This is an application interface 1100 that can be used to create one or more groups of lights 2320, where each group 2310 contains one or more movable light fixtures. To group the light fixtures 100, the user will first select the desired group by clicking the group icon 2310. The user can then select the desired light fixture 100 by long-pressing the displayed light fixture icon 2320. Once the desired light fixtures are selected, they can then be grouped under the desired group by pressing the group icon 2102.

[0197] After grouping the lights, users can check at any time which lights are in certain groups by clicking "My Pop-up Lights" through the application interface 1100, such as... Figure 33As shown. By doing so, the application interface 1100 will display the group name 2400 and a lamp icon representing each connected lamp 100 organized in that group. Figure 32 In the example shown, group 1 is selected, and there are currently four lights grouped under group 1.

[0198] Similar to the process described above, users can repeat... Figure 32 The steps described herein are for creating more than one group. Figures 34-36 This is an example of the application interface 1100 that can be used to create add-on groups 2500 and 2600 of portable lighting fixtures. Figure 3 In the application interface 1100, users can press the group icon 2610 to select an additional group for one or more lights to be grouped together. When more than one group exists that has been created by the user, the main page of the application interface 1100 can display more than one group. For example, Figure 36 The application interface 1100 displays a homepage showing multiple groups of lights, each group containing multiple movable light fixtures. Specifically, in this example, group 1 includes movable light fixtures named Right Bedroom Light and Left Bedroom Light, while group 2 includes movable light fixtures named Hallway Light and Reading Corner Light. When one of the groups is selected, the application interface 1100 optionally displays the light fixtures under that group, with the corresponding light fixture icon in a darker color than the light fixture icons representing light fixtures outside the selected group.

[0199] Figure 37 For application interface 1100, when a movable luminaire is already in a different second group 2710 of movable luminaires, it can be used to display an error message when a movable luminaire was selected for the first group 2700. Application interface 1100 will further prompt the user to select another luminaire.

[0200] Users can further manage existing groups through the application. Figures 38 to 43 An application interface 1100 is shown that provides options by offering various group management icons 2900 for renaming selected groups, deleting groups, or creating new groups. Specifically, Figure 39 It is an application interface 1100 that can be used to group movable lighting fixtures into groups 3000 and give the movable lighting fixture group names. Figure 40 It is an application interface 1100 that can display text 3010, which can be used to determine if the user wants to delete a group of movable light fixtures.

[0201] Figures 41-42 An application interface 1100 is shown, which may have a field 3200 for entering the name 3300 of a movable light fixture or a group of movable light fixtures. Once the desired name is entered, it can be saved by clicking the save button. A back button is also displayed, and the user can return to the home page by clicking the back button from the name change interface.

[0202] Figure 43 An application interface 1100 with a customized group name is shown. Here, the application interface 1100 is displaying several groups including a group corridor, where the group corridor is a customized name for the group. The interface further highlights that the group corridor currently has two connected light fixtures: a corridor light and a reading corner light. Figures 44 to 48 It is an application interface 1100 that can be used to display movable light fixture groups 3500 and 3510 and provide options for my pop-up lights, adjusting settings, adding pop-up lights, and managing groups. Specifically, Figures 45 to 48 This demonstrates the application's lighting management features. Specifically, Figure 45 Several options for luminaire management are shown, including the luminaire renaming function. Figures 46 to 47 The application interface 1100, which displays a name input and save window, is shown, and Figure 48 The result of the name change is shown on the homepage, displaying the new name.

[0203] Figure 45 This is an application interface 1100 that provides users with multiple options to manage connected lighting fixtures. Within the application interface 1100, several options are available: rename pop-up light to rename the lighting fixture, remove from group to remove a specific lighting fixture 100 from the currently assigned group, and desynchronize pop-up light to disconnect the lighting fixture 100 from the application and control device. Similarly... Figure 45 As shown, it includes at least a lower left lighting fixture, wherein the lighting element in the lighting fixture is a color-controllable LED via an application interface 1100, which can display a specific color of the lighting element that communicates with the application interface 1100.

[0204] Figure 46 This is an application interface 1100 that allows users to enter the name of a movable light fixture or a group of movable light fixtures in field 3700. Once the desired name is entered in field 3700, users can save it by clicking the save button (e.g., ...). Figure 47 (As shown) to save the name. After saving the name, the user can exit the name change page by clicking the back button. In the example embodiment, the name of the selected light fixture is changed to "Reading Corner Light".

[0205] Figure 48 The example demonstrates how the application interface 1100 displays the changed name on the homepage. In the example embodiment, after the name of the lamp is changed to "Reading Corner Lamp," the same text is displayed under the corresponding lamp icon on the homepage.

[0206] Figures 49 to 50 The overall diagram illustrates the sharing of settings between controller 216 and application interface 1100. Specifically, Figure 49 The application interface 1100 has a menu 4000 that can be used to share settings with another controller 216 (e.g., a smartphone) via buttons representing messages, copy links, or airdrop protocols. In one embodiment, controller 216 retrieves information from memory 220 (e.g., from a contact list, etc.) to populate fields provided when the message button is selected. Alternatively, the user can populate the provided fields using keyboard input, etc. In another embodiment, when the copy link button is selected, controller 216 can create and save a file for access. Alternatively, controller 216 can provide a list of messaging or communication applications on controller 216 where links can be shared.

[0207] Figures 51 to 54 The overall difference between the lighting fixture 100 and the application interface 1100 is shown. Specifically, Figure 51 It is an application interface 1100 that can provide options for renaming pop-up lights, removing them from groups, and desynchronizing pop-up lights in menu 4200.

[0208] Figures 52 to 53 Another lighting management function is shown for desynchronizing movable lighting fixtures. Specifically, Figure 52 An application interface 1100 with a confirmation window 4300 is displayed to confirm whether the user wants to desynchronize the selected luminaire. Two options, "Yes" and "No," are displayed under the confirmation window 4300. By pressing the "Yes" button, the luminaire 100 will be disconnected from the application interface 1100 and the controller 216 and desynchronized. Subsequently, the following will be displayed on the application interface 1100: Figure 53 The prompt 4400 shown confirms that the luminaire has been successfully desynchronized. In the example shown, prompt 4400 includes the text "Pop-up light successfully desynchronized". However, if the "No" button is pressed, the application interface 1100 will automatically return to the luminaire management menu 4200.

[0209] Figure 54 This is application interface 1100, which provides options for viewing pop-up lights, adjusting settings, adding pop-up lights, and managing groups. It also displays one or more groups of movable lights with one or more movable fixtures. In this example, bedroom group 4500 is selected, and the movable lights in the bedroom group are displayed.
