Light Tower LED Backlit Display Skeleton
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing light towers lack effective advertising options, particularly due to the heat generated by traditional high-temperature lighting, which limits the use of backlit displays.
Innovation Solution
A light tower marketing display utilizing a multi-sectioned mast with LED lights that minimizes heat generation, allowing for a backlit display supported by a skeleton frame, enabling flexible and portable advertising options such as staging, construction signs, and temporary lighting for festivals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If traditional high-temperature lighting is used in light towers, then illumination intensity is improved, but heat generation increases making backlit displays impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the lighting parameter from traditional high-temperature bulbs to LED technology, which provides equivalent illumination intensity while operating at significantly lower temperatures, enabling backlit displays to function without heat damage
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional thermal lighting system with an LED-based lighting system, substituting the mechanical/thermal illumination method with a solid-state electronic system that achieves the same lighting function without the harmful thermal byproduct
2Adaptability or versatility
If a backlit display is added to the light tower, then advertising capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple functions into the light tower system: the LED lighting serves both its primary illumination purpose and acts as the light source for backlit advertising displays, while the extendable mast provides both light elevation and display elevation, creating a multi-functional advertising platform
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the advertising display into modular sections that can be independently configured and installed on the light tower, allowing flexibility in display content and arrangement while simplifying the overall integration process
3Ease of operation
If the mast is made multi-sectioned for extendability, then portability is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mast is divided into multiple telescopic sections that can be independently manufactured and assembled, allowing each section to be produced separately and then connected through standardized coupling mechanisms, which simplifies both manufacturing and assembly processes
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides a new marketing option by enabling the use of LED lights to power backlit displays on light towers, offering improved portability and reduced heat-related issues, allowing for secure and effective advertising across various events and applications.
Implementation Method 1
LED lights which with prior art lights would not otherwise be possible to the heat generated by those lighting devices
Data Source
AI summary
A method of advertising includes using light towers for new uses. Specifically, a skeleton may be employed to connect to a frame supporting at least one LED light from a frame connected to a mast of the light tower. The skeleton may locate a first display at a desired distance from the at least one LED light to backlight the first display. While first displays may be used with many embodiments, still other embodiments may have a second display as a vertically oriented display along a portion of the mast. The second display may deploy with the extension of mast portions for at least some embodiments.
