Description

1. Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a modular lighting unit that can be used both as a permanently installed ceiling light and as a mobile, battery-operated lamp. The lamp allows for adaptation to different lighting moods and design preferences through interchangeable outer covers and flexible control modes. 2. State of the art

[0002] Currently available lighting solutions are either designed as permanently installed ceiling lights or as portable, battery-powered lamps. Permanently installed lights often offer no mobility or design customization, while portable lamps are limited in terms of brightness control and design adjustment. A combination of both functions in a modular, easily adaptable solution is lacking on the market. 3. Object of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a flexible lighting unit that can be used both permanently installed and in mobile applications. The luminaire is intended to combine the advantages of both worlds, offering not only a permanently installed ceiling light but also the option of mobile use. A further focus is on the possibility of individual design through interchangeable covers and the variable control of light intensity and color. 4. Description of the invention

[0004] Multifunctional modular lamp for fixed and mobile applications 4.1 General Structure

[0005] The lighting unit includes: • A base module (light body) with an integrated, rechargeable battery. • A modular housing system where the outer shell of the lamp can be replaced. This shell can be available in various designs, e.g., as animals, superheroes, or simple geometric shapes. • A mounting device that allows for easy installation on the ceiling. • A stable stand for mobile use on tables or other surfaces. 4.2 Power supply • Fixed installation: In fixed installation mode, the lamp is connected to the mains power supply and functions like a conventional ceiling light. • Mobile operation: In mobile mode, the lamp is powered by an integrated, rechargeable battery. The battery allows the lamp to operate for several hours, depending on the selected brightness and light color. 4.3 Lighting control

[0006] The lamp offers various modes for controlling the light intensity and color temperature: • Brightness modes: The brightness can be adjusted between several levels (e.g. 10%, 50%, 100%). • Color temperature modes: The color temperature can be varied from warm, yellowish light (2700K) to cool, white light (6500K). • Color-changing modes: For atmospheric lighting, the lamp can illuminate in various colors (RGB). This function is particularly useful for mobile use, as it supports different moods.

[0007] The control is via: • A remote control is included in the package. • A mobile app that communicates with the lamp via Bluetooth and offers additional customization options (timer, color change, etc.). 4.4 Modular Design

[0008] The lamp's modular design is one of its main advantages. The outer shell can be changed quickly and easily using a plug-in system, allowing the user to adapt the design to the room's decor or personal preferences. 4.5 Assembly and Disassembly • Ceiling installation: For permanent ceiling installation, the lamp is attached using a standard bracket. It is secured with a simple click or screw mounting system, allowing for quick and easy installation and removal. • Mobile use: In mobile mode, the lamp is attached to a stable, non-slip, and easy-to-transport base. Switching between stationary and mobile operation is done via a simple click mechanism. 5. Special advantages of the invention 1. Flexibility: The lamp offers the possibility of being both permanently installed and mobile, making it ideal for various application scenarios. 2. Individual design: The interchangeable housing allows the lamp to be adapted to different designs and styles, making it a flexible decorative element. 3. Variable light control: The lamp has several preset lighting modes that can be controlled via remote control or mobile app. 4. Easy handling: The combination of permanently installed and mobile operation allows for easy handling in different environments. 6. Summary of the invention

[0009] The present invention provides a modular lighting unit suitable for both fixed ceiling mounting and mobile use. It features a flexible design, easy assembly and disassembly, and variable light control options. The interchangeable covers allow the user to adapt the lamp to different styles and decorations. Thanks to the rechargeable battery, the lamp can also be operated without a mains power supply.
