6 results about "Task lighting" patented technology

A computer-implemented method includes receiving, using a user interface element associated with an adjustable task-lighting module, a user input representing a selected illumination beam pattern for light emitted by the adjustable task-lighting module. The method also includes determining, based on the user input, a control voltage. Thereafter, the method includes controlling an adjustable voltage source associated with the adjustable task-lighting module to provide the determined control voltage to a configurable liquid-crystal element of the adjustable task-lighting module to configure the adjustable task-lighting module to emit light having the selected illumination beam pattern.

A Mechanic's Creeper with Lights is a mechanic's creeper equipped with integrated task lighting powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The device is provided with multiple light emitting diode (LED) lights on either side of the headrest. The lights are low profile and do not interfere with use of the creeper. The lights, held in place via magnets, are wired together to a common switch located at the top of the creeper that is easily reached when laying on the creeper. The lights are powered by a typical removable battery pack used to power portable tools such as those from DeWalt®, Milwaukee®, or the like. Various adapters to utilize different battery systems and voltages could be provided. The battery pack is located on the underside of the device near the user's head for easy access should removal of the battery for recharging be necessary.

Lighting system for illuminating a room (R), comprising - Means (4) for producing large-area room brightening and - Means (5) for producing concentrated, local illumination, - an attendance recording device (6) for recording the presence of at least one person (P) in the room (R), - a control device (8) for controlling the means (4) for generating room illumination and the means (5) for generating local illumination, wherein the control device (8) is designed to to automatically control large-area room illumination depending on daylight or time of day and to automatically control the local lighting depending on the presence of at least one person (P) in the room (R); wherein the means (4) for generating room illumination are designed to produce a large-area light emission from a ceiling area (2) of the room (R) and the means (5) for generating local illumination are designed to produce working illumination in at least one of several sub-areas (1, 1', 1'') located below the ceiling area (2); wherein the lighting system further comprises a daylight detection device (7) for detecting the intensity of daylight present in the room (R), the design remains as follows: The means (5) for generating local lighting remain activated as long as at least one person (P) is present in at least one of the sub-areas (1, 1', 1'') and the intensity of daylight falls below a threshold value, and remain deactivated as long as the intensity of daylight exceeds the threshold value; and wherein in the lighting system the means (4) for generating room illumination are further designed to generate room illumination in different color temperatures, wherein the daylight detection device (7) is further designed to detect a color temperature of the daylight, the design remains as follows: The means (4) for generating room illumination are further controlled in such a way that, with increasing color temperature of the daylight, the room illumination is generated with increasing color temperature.

Adjustable task lighting system using liquid crystals. A computer-implemented method includes receiving, using a user interface element associated with an adjustable task lighting module, user input representing a selected illumination beam pattern for light emitted by the adjustable task lighting module. The method also includes determining a control voltage based on the user input. Thereafter, the method includes controlling an adjustable voltage source associated with the adjustable task lighting module to provide the determined control voltage to a configurable liquid crystal element of the adjustable task lighting module to configure the adjustable task lighting module to emit light having the selected illumination beam pattern.

A light-emitting system (1000) removably attachable to headgear is provided, which comprises: a form factor (1010) configured to surround a portion of the headgear when the light-emitting system (1000) is removably attached to the headgear for use; a plurality of halo lighting elements (1100) configured to selectively generate at least a partial halo of light that radiates outwardly away from the light-emitting system; and at least one task lighting element (1120) aligned in a direction along a task light axis (1130) that is fixed and oriented downwardly at an oblique angle (α) relative to a transverse plane (TP) of the light-emitting system (1000), the at least one task lighting element (1120) being configured to selectively generate flood task lighting in an area in front of a user.
