Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lamps lack the ability to selectively vary light color and focus, limiting their adaptability to different lighting needs and environments.
Innovation Solution
A color changing lamp with a movable plate containing color filters and a light source that can be adjusted in focus, allowing for varying light intensity and color selection through a combination of manual or motorized mechanisms, enabling focused or diffuse lighting with different color options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional lamps are used, then the structure is simple, but the ability to selectively vary light color and focus is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp divides the color filtering function into separate segments by using a movable plate with multiple apertures, each having a different color filter. This allows selective variation of light color without requiring a completely different lamp structure for each color, thus improving adaptability while managing complexity through modular segmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The lamp employs a movable plate that can be shifted to different positions to selectively associate different apertures with the light source. This dynamic mechanism enables the lamp to adapt its color output and focus characteristics by changing the position of the movable plate, thereby improving versatility without permanently increasing structural complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a movable plate with multiple apertures and color filters is added, then color selection capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The movable plate serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a color filter selector, a focus adjustment mechanism, and a light modulation device. By making the plate perform multiple functions, the patent improves color selection capability and focus control without adding proportionally more separate components, thus managing device complexity while enhancing versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the color filtering function and the focus adjustment function into a single movable plate structure. Different apertures in the same plate provide both color filtering and focus control, merging multiple functions into one component to reduce overall device complexity while maintaining enhanced adaptability.
3Ease of operation
If the lens and light source are made movable relative to each other, then focus control is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the focus control function with the existing movable plate mechanism. By associating the lens or light source movement with the same movable plate that controls color filtering, the patent achieves improved focus control without adding a completely separate adjustment mechanism, thereby managing device complexity while enhancing ease of operation.

Implementation Method 1
a movable plate comprising at least two apertures each having a color filter in at least a portion of the aperture
Implementation Method 2
a lens on the lens frame... light produced by the light fixture is more focused or more diffuse according to the relative positions of the lens and the light source
Data Source
AI summary
A light fixture comprising a lens frame, a lens on the lens frame, and a movable plate comprising at least two apertures each having a color filter in at least a portion of the aperture. The movable plate is movable so that one aperture thereof is selectively associated with the lens. A light source is provided, and the lens and light source are movable relative to each other between a first position in which the lens and the light source are nearer each other and a second position in which the lens and light source are further away from each other, wherein light produced by the light fixture is more focused or more diffuse according to the relative positions of the lens and the light source.
