Abstract
Description
Short description:
[0001] Desk light for illuminating, for example, a sound or lighting mixing console, which can wirelessly receive lighting data from a lighting console. Problem:
[0002] Conventional desk lights are either simple clamp-on lights (not controllable with a lighting console) or models that can be controlled via an XLR connector with the lighting console, but which do not allow wireless control. Their use is often limited because lighting consoles are often embedded in protective and transport boxes, which can make the connections difficult to access. Furthermore, gooseneck desk lights limit the range of the lighting because their length is fixed and they cannot be used flexibly to illuminate distant objects, such as a person with a script. Problem solving:
[0003] The invention specified in claim 1 receives the lighting data wirelessly with a microcontroller that controls the lighting (brightness, light color). Due to the wireless connection, multiple receivers can be controlled. For example, a lighting console, a sound console, and the control room can receive separately controlled lighting. The data is sent from a lighting console. Additional features:
[0004] In addition, the invention has a manual-local mode which, using a display and rotary control, enables manual adjustment of the lamp, e.g. at the director's position without a connection to the lighting console. Technical implementation:
[0005] A microcontroller with the appropriate code / programming enables wireless reception of light data. The microcontroller also has programming that allows for the wireless reception to be disabled and for manual input of the desired brightness / light color. Manual input is implemented using a screen and a rotary control. Power is supplied either via a power adapter or micro-USB.
Claims
[1] The wirelessly controlled desk light is characterized by that it allows wireless control with a lighting console. [2] The device described under claim 1 enables wireless control via a lighting console or, alternatively, manual control via local input.
