Description

[0001] The invention relates to an accessory set for a lighting device.

[0002] Lighting devices with LEDs (light-emitting diodes) have been around for a long time. They consist of one or more LEDs, each of which is preferably designed as RGBW LEDs, meaning they can emit red, green, blue, or white light. Thus, each individual LED can emit light of virtually any color. Each LED can be controlled individually or several LEDs in groups to achieve desired lighting effects in terms of color and / or brightness.

[0003] Such light sources are used in all areas of technology, including the lighting of homes, offices, and workplaces. LED light sources are well known, which take the form of a conventional fluorescent tube and can be inserted into existing sockets with a power supply, for example.

[0004] Such tubular lamps are particularly popular in professional photography, as well as for film and television recordings. They can preferably be battery-operated and their light output can be controlled, either manually via a switch on the lamp or wirelessly, for example, via Bluetooth. This allows the desired lighting effect to be achieved.

[0005] These lamps are either held in the desired position by an assistant or set up and aligned in the desired position using tripods, suspension devices or the like.

[0006] The invention is based on the object of providing an accessory set for lamps with which the lamp can be permanently held in a desired position and orientation.

[0007] According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

[0008] The accessory set includes one or more of the following components: - one or two frontal brackets, - one or more substructures, - one or more guide grids, - one or more holding devices and - one or more feet.

[0009] The symmetrically designed front-end brackets, into which the preferably tubular lamp is snapped or clipped, can be secured against rolling by a flattened section on the front-end bracket. The front-end bracket can also be screwed to the wall or ceiling, for example.

[0010] The illuminant as a whole is clipped and / or held in a particularly detachable manner in one or more substructures, which are in particular trough-shaped and in particular have any desired lengths, wherein the substructures are in particular latched and / or clipped together and / or held together by magnetic force.

[0011] Appropriately cut guide grids can be attached to the substructures, preferably detachably, such as snapped and / or clipped. These serve to control the light scattering of the lamp, as well as to direct the light and minimize stray light.

[0012] The substructure and the guide grid can each be formed by one or more similar components.

[0013] The mounting devices are preferably removably clipped onto a perforated metal angle plate and include a nut with an internal thread. The metal angle plate is inserted into corresponding slots in the end brackets and secured with a cotter pin, thus holding the end brackets, the LED lamp, the substructure, and the metal angle plate. For this purpose, a ball head with a threaded rod is provided on a lighting stand. The threaded rod is screwed into the nut integrated in the mounting device through a hole in the metal angle plate in order to position and align the entire light source as desired. In principle, two or more mounting devices can also be provided for a particularly long light source.

[0014] Finally, the accessory set preferably includes three feet, into each of which one of the three legs of a tripod supplied as standard with the Astera FP1 Titan Tube can be inserted. This allows for improved stability of the thus elevated lamp, especially on uneven surfaces. For this purpose, at least one of the three feet is equipped with an adjusting device for height adjustment. For example, with the help of one or two adjusting screws, a type of base plate of a foot can be relocated by up to two centimeters or extended and retracted. This can be used to compensate for inclined surfaces, for example. In principle, two or three feet can also be designed accordingly.

[0015] The subclaims each represent advantageous embodiments of the invention.

[0016] In a first embodiment, the light source comprises LEDs. This allows for an energy-saving light source that can be positioned and aligned as desired, while also being extremely durable and generating little heat. It is clear that the light source can either be connected to an existing power grid and / or be equipped with a rechargeable battery. Likewise, direct control of the color and / or brightness of individual or multiple LEDs is possible, for example, using switches, push buttons, or the like, and / or remote control, for example, via Bluetooth with a smartphone or the like using a corresponding app or software.

[0017] Furthermore, the light source is preferably round and elongated, similar to a fluorescent tube. This means that the light source can serve as a replacement for a conventional neon tube, for example, and is equipped with the same connections for a power supply. Independent operation with a rechargeable battery is also possible.

[0018] The light source is advantageously an Astera FP1 Titan Tube. This light source is distributed by Astera LED Technology GmbH, Schatzbogen 60, 81829 Munich, Germany. It is particularly suitable for lighting or creating lighting effects for professional film, television, and photo shoots, for event lighting, and for artistic performances when one or more actors each move one or more preferably battery-operated light sources and move, for example, in the manner of a ballet. With the accessory set, the light source can be arranged and aligned in virtually any position, for example to achieve the desired illumination of a scene by a cameraman.

[0019] It's clear that the accessory set can also be used in all other areas of technology, including to illuminate living spaces, workplaces, or offices in the desired manner. Furthermore, all components of the accessory set can be made of metal and / or plastic, for example.

[0020] It is understood that all features of the invention described above and below can be combined with one another in any desired manner.

[0021] The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. The figures show: Fig. 1 a frontal bracket, Fig. 2 a substructure, Fig. 3 a guide grid, Fig. 4 a holding device and Fig. 5 a foot for a tripod.

[0022] In the purely schematic Fig. 1 to 5, the same reference numerals designate the same components.

[0023] The Fig. The components of the accessory set shown in Figures 1 to 5 are preferably made of plastic and / or metal. The individual parts of the components or the components to one another are preferably detachably attached to one another or to the illuminant, for example, latched together with corresponding latching projections and latching lugs, clipped onto the illuminant, or the like. A magnetic connection is also possible. The illuminant is equipped with LEDs, in particular RGBW LEDs, can be connected to a power grid and / or is equipped with a rechargeable battery, and is designed in particular in the form of a fluorescent tube. The illuminant is particularly preferably a short or long Astera FP1 Titan Tube.

[0024] In the Fig. 1 shows a frontal support 1 in different views. In Fig. 1a shows a left-side frontal bracket 1a and in Fig. 1b a right-side 1b. The end-face brackets 1a, 1b are preferably detachably attached to the lamp, for example, by clipping. In particular, the lamp can be inserted with its electrical contact pins, for example, into locking grooves and, if necessary, rotated relative to the end-face brackets 1. These prevent the lamp from rolling away, as they preferably have a flattened side that can be placed on the floor, for example. Likewise, the end-face brackets 1 allow any mounting on the wall or ceiling to use the lamp as a conventional lamp. The end-face brackets 1 can be used with lamps of any length.

[0025] Furthermore, the front brackets are equipped with angled slots to accommodate a preferably perforated metal angle plate between them.

[0026] In the Fig. Figure 2 shows a substructure 2 for a guide grid 3 in different views. The brackets 1 are independent of the substructure 2, but can also be combined. Fig. 2a shows a left-side substructure 2a, which is for example but not necessarily provided with a left-side frontal support 1a made of Fig. 1 interacts and Fig. 2c a right-hand substructure 2b. Fig. 2b shows a central substructure 2c, which is arranged singly or multiple times between them. For example, two central substructures 2c, a right-side substructure 2b and a left-side substructure 2a are joined together, in particular by corresponding magnets, which are each integrated in the substructures 2. The substructure 2 forms the basis for arranging a guide grid 3 on the illuminant. This substructure 2 can preferably be assembled from several essentially similar individual parts in order to be adapted to the length of a illuminant. In particular, the substructure has a trough-like shape when viewed in cross-section, as can be seen in particular from the circle "B", bottom center in Fig. 2a. From the enlarged section “A”, bottom right in Fig. 2a, it can be seen that the frontal brackets 1a on the left side can also be assigned to the substructure 2, for example, locked or clipped in. The same applies accordingly to Fig. 2c. In particular, the light source, such as an Astera FP1 Titan Tube, can be detachably attached to the substructure 2 without any tools, for example, clipped into the tub. The modular frontal brackets 1 and the one or more substructures 2, in particular several central substructures 2c made of Fig. 2c, can preferably be positively connected to one another by means of integrated magnets. This allows adaptation to different lengths of the light source, and the substructure 2 can, in turn, be placed in any orientation on a surface and / or attached, preferably detachably, to the wall or ceiling. The substructures 2 can also each have different lengths, for example, a long and a short version, in order to adapt to different lengths of the light source.

[0027] In the Fig. 3 shows a guide grid 3 in different views. Fig. 3a a longer version 3a is shown and in Fig. 3b a shorter 3b. In principle, the directional grid 3 can be of any length. One or more directional grids 3 are preferably detachably attached to the substructure 2, for example, latched and / or clipped. The directional grids 3 serve to control the light scattering of the illuminant and thus achieve targeted light guidance. In particular, no light escapes from the sides of the directional grids 3 in order to achieve the desired uniform illumination of an object, for example. Precise light alignment with simultaneous minimization of stray light is achieved.

[0028] In the Fig. 4 shows a holding device 4 in various views. The holding device 4, which, for example, as shown in Fig. 4a, center right, is preferably clipped onto a perforated metal angle plate. This metal angle plate, in turn, is made of Fig. 1, inserted into the end-face brackets 1, so that the lamp is held in place by the end-face brackets 1 and the one or more substructures 2 on the perforated metal angle plate. A nut, preferably made of metal and / or measuring ¾ inch, is integrated into the holding device 4, as can be seen from the dashed illustration in Fig. 4 b, above. The holding device 4 is positioned directly above a hole in the metal angle plate. Thus, a threaded rod, particularly a copper rod, can be used to create a stable connection to a lighting stand. The lighting stand typically has a ball head with a copper stud. This is aligned in the desired direction, and the corresponding thread is screwed through the hole in the metal angle plate into the integrated nut of the holding device 4.

[0029] Finally, Fig. 5 three feet in different views. The feet 5 are, as can be seen particularly from the partially dashed representations in the Fig. 5a, Fig. 5b and Fig. 5c, is designed to accommodate one of the three legs of a tripod supplied as standard with the Astera FP1 Titan Tube. Fig. 5a and Fig. 5b shows two identical feet 5a, 5b, which are not adjustable and in Fig. 5c is an adjustable foot 5c, which is adjustable, as indicated here by the thread. To do this, an adjusting screw is turned in the thread, allowing a correspondingly adjusted base plate 6a to be displaced by, for example, up to 2 centimeters relative to a foot 5 to compensate for unevenness in the subfloor.

[0030] In Fig. 5d shows a conventional base plate 6b in various views, which is not adjustable and could in principle also be formed in one piece with a foot 5.

[0031] In the Fig. 5e and Fig.5f shows the adjustable base plate 6a in different views. As indicated by the threads, the base plate 6a can be moved relative to the foot 5c using one or two adjusting screws to compensate for unevenness in the ground.
