Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lighting devices designed for flush-mounted installation boxes lack a compact and robust design, making them unsuitable for integration into existing cover programs, and they do not allow users to easily adjust light output to match specific applications or change light color.
Innovation Solution
A lighting device with a compact design featuring a spherical lamp module that can be pivoted and rotated without tools, integrated into a flush-mounted installation box, allowing for adjustable light output and easy connection to the building's electrical system using conventional components, with a heat management system to dissipate heat effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If conventional lighting devices are designed for surface mounting with considerable dimensions, then they can provide sufficient light output, but they cannot be installed in flush-mounted installation boxes and are not compact
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting device is divided into two separate housings: a first housing containing the power supply unit and a second housing containing the lighting module. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and facilitates installation in standard flush-mounted boxes while maintaining adequate light output capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The lighting module is nested within the second housing, which is provided with a support ring for accommodation in flush-mounted installation boxes. The power pack in the first housing is electrically connected to the nested lighting module, creating a compact integrated assembly that fits standard installation infrastructure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the lighting module is fixed in position, then the device structure is simple, but the user cannot adjust the light output direction to match specific applications
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting module is designed with pivotable and rotatable capability relative to the second housing, allowing dynamic adjustment of light output direction. The module can be pivoted about a first axis and rotated about a second axis, enabling users to tailor illumination to specific application requirements while maintaining a relatively simple mounting structure.
3Ease of manufacture
If the lamp housing is made as a single integrated piece, then manufacturing is simple, but assembly and replacement of the illuminant requires increased effort
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp housing is divided into a housing body and a separate cover that can be detached. This segmentation allows the illuminant to be easily accessed and replaced by removing the cover, while the housing body remains structurally intact. The cover and housing body can be manufactured separately and assembled, maintaining manufacturing simplicity while enabling easy maintenance.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the lighting device uses conventional components and compact design, then installation is cost-effective and simple, but the device cannot be integrated into existing cover programs coherently
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting device is designed to accommodate standard flush-mounted installation boxes with conventional dimensions and mounting interfaces. The support ring in the second housing and the overall compact geometry enable integration into existing building infrastructure and design programs, while the modular housing design allows adaptation to various installation scenarios.

AI summary
A lighting device designed for installation in standard flush-mounted junction boxes is proposed, which includes at least one LED light source, wherein the lighting device comprises a power supply unit arranged in a first housing and a second housing provided with a support ring for accommodating a lighting module, the lighting module being electrically connected to the power supply unit for energy supply, which in turn can be connected to the electrical installation system of a building.For the purpose of creating a lighting device which, using standard installation components and with a particularly compact design, can be easily and cost-effectively connected to a building's installation system and which, moreover, can be easily adjusted by the user with regard to light output for specific applications, the luminaire module has a spherical luminaire which is guided in a pivotable and/or rotatable manner in a bearing shell fixed to the second housing, and at least two pins are provided on the two-part luminaire housing of the spherical luminaire, which each interact with at least one control geometry provided in the bearing shell to limit the pivoting and/or rotation.
