Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lighting devices for event lighting, such as those used in theaters and stage shows, lack flexibility in creating larger-area lighting patterns or images, particularly when aiming to achieve strobe-like effects and colored lighting simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A lighting device with a unique arrangement of first and second lighting elements, where the first elements emit a fixed light spectrum (preferably white) and second elements emit a variable spectrum (like RGB), arranged in rows on a two-dimensional surface, allowing for various lighting patterns and effects by controlling individual or grouped segments, and enabling seamless combination of devices for continuous effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional stroboscopes with a central flash tube are used, then stroboscopic effects can be achieved, but the device lacks flexibility in creating larger-area lighting patterns or images
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting device is divided into multiple independently controllable lighting elements arranged in rows, allowing individual segments to be controlled for creating various lighting patterns and images while maintaining a modular structure
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single central flash tube to multiple lighting elements arranged in rows on a two-dimensional surface, enabling creation of larger-area lighting patterns and images by utilizing spatial distribution across dimensions
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple lighting elements are arranged in rows on a two-dimensional surface, then flexibility for creating lighting patterns is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting device is divided into multiple independently controllable lighting elements arranged in rows, allowing individual segments to be controlled for creating various lighting patterns and images while maintaining a modular structure
Solution Approach 2:
The lighting elements are designed to emit light in a variable light spectrum, enabling them to serve multiple functions including stroboscopic effects, colored lighting, and pattern creation, thereby reducing the need for separate specialized devices
