[0037] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, in some embodiments of the present application the lamp head 110 is provided with an operating indicator light 114, wherein the light of the operating indicator light 114 shines through the operating button 140 and flashes a first number of times when the operating button 140 is locked by the locking button 150 and flashes a second number of times when the operating button 140 is unlocked by the locking button 150.

[0038] Of course, experts in the field can, if necessary, arrange the operating indicator light 114 in any other feasible position; for example, the operating indicator light 114 can be arranged on the base 120.

[0039] The first number of times is different from the second number of times. Both the first and second numbers can be any feasible number, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, etc.

[0040] For example, the operating indicator light 114 flashes once when the user presses the operating button 140 for three seconds to activate the lock while the illumination lamp 112 is continuously lit. In the locked state, the operating indicator light 114 flashes twice when the operating button 140 is pressed for four seconds to activate the unlock.

[0041] Furthermore, the light 100 remains unchanged if the user lightly touches the operating button 140 while the lighting lamp 112 is constantly illuminated, i.e., presses the operating button 140 once.

[0042] In the present application, the operating indicator light 114 can remain constantly illuminated whether the control button 140 is locked or unlocked. The color of the operating indicator light 114 when constantly illuminated can be the same as, or different from, the color when flashing. For example, the color of the operating indicator light 114 when constantly illuminated is white or yellow, while the color of the operating indicator light 114 when flashing is blue or green.

The translucent cover 113 is connected to the lampshade 111 to protect the lighting lamp 112 and to ensure the aesthetic appeal of the luminaire 110.

[0044] With further reference to Fig. 3 The locking button 150 penetrates the translucent cover 113, so that the locking button 150 is exposed on the underside of the translucent cover 113 to facilitate operation of the locking button 150 by the user.

[0045] The locking button 150 comprises a button 151 and a switch 152, with the button 151 serving to penetrate the translucent cover 113 and being actuated by the user. The switch 152 is in contact with the button 151, so that when the user presses the button 151, the on / off state of the switch 152 can be changed.

[0046] As in Fig. 3 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, in some embodiments of the present application the lamp head 110 further comprises a battery 115 and a charge indicator light 116, which is located on the inside of the translucent cover 113, wherein the light of the charge indicator light 116 shines through the translucent cover 113.

[0047] Of course, experts in the field can, if necessary, arrange the charge status indicator light 116 in any other feasible position; for example, the charge status indicator light 116 can be arranged on the base 120.

[0048] The light 100 is configured so that when the lighting lamp 112 is switched off, the lock button 150 is triggered and the charge status indicator light 116 illuminates for a preset duration to indicate the remaining charge status of the battery 115.

[0049] The preset duration can be any feasible duration such as 1 second, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, etc.

[0050] For example, the charging status indicator light 116 illuminates continuously for 5 seconds if the illumination lamp 112 is switched off and the lock button 150 is lightly touched, or if the power supply is interrupted after the lamp 100 has finished charging. Within these 5 seconds, the charging status indicator light 116 goes out if the lock button 150 is pressed again. If the illumination lamp 112 is switched on, the charging status indicator light 116 illuminates continuously.

[0051] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, in some embodiments of the present application the center line of the locking button 150 runs parallel to the axis of the light bar 130, the plane which contains the center line and the axis being referred to as the reference plane 101.

[0052] With further reference to Fig. 5 There are several charge status indicator lights 116, all located on one side of the reference plane 101, to achieve a continuous visual effect of the multiple charge status indicator lights 116.

[0053] With further reference to Fig. In section 5, the connecting line of the several charge status indicator lights 116 is referred to as the arrangement line 102. A line that is perpendicular to both the arrangement line 102 and the axis of the light rod 130 is referred to as the vertical reference line 103. The angle between the vertical reference line 103 and the reference plane 101 takes on an arbitrary value between 15° and 30° in order to make the structure of the light 100 more compact.

[0054] The angle between the vertical reference line 103 and the reference plane 101 can be any feasible value such as 15°, 18°, 20°, 24.7°, 27°, 28.9°, 30°, etc.

[0055] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, in some embodiments of the present application the underside of the base 120 is provided with a power connection 121, wherein the power connection 121 charges the light 100 via a suitable charging station 200 and can thereby unlock the locked operating button 140.

[0056] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, charging station 200 is equipped with a charging terminal (not marked in the figure) that is compatible with power connector 121. When the light 100 is placed on charging station 200, power connector 121 is electrically connected to the charging terminal, allowing charging station 200 to charge the light 100.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the operating button 140 is automatically unlocked when the lamp 100 is placed on the charging station 200, while the function of the operating button 140 is locked by the locking button 150.
