Illumination Device with Rotating Light Module for Dual-Mode Lighting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current illumination devices fail to simultaneously meet the different lighting requirements for both reading and personal illumination, such as brightness, color, and color temperature, which are often needed when using a desk for both tasks.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable illumination device incorporating a light-emitting module, a camera unit, and a rotation mechanism that allows for selective illumination modes by rotating about an axis, enabling different lighting directions and angles to satisfy various illumination demands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the illumination device provides a single fixed lighting mode, then the structure is simple, but it cannot satisfy different illumination requirements for reading and personal lighting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a rotation mechanism that allows the light-emitting module to dynamically change its lighting direction between a first angular range (for personal lighting) and a second angular range (for reading). This dynamic adjustment enables a single device to provide different illumination modes without requiring multiple separate devices, thus improving adaptability while maintaining relatively simple structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the light-emitting module rotates to provide different lighting directions, then different illumination modes are achieved, but the lighting direction control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the lighting space into distinct angular ranges: a first angular range for personal lighting and a second angular range for reading. The rotation mechanism segments the lighting function into different directional zones, allowing users to simply rotate the device to the appropriate angle range for their needs without complex controls. This segmentation makes the operation intuitive and easy.

AI summary
An illumination device selectively disposed on an object having a first side and a second side is provided. The illumination device comprises a light-emitting module, a camera unit and a rotation mechanism. The lighting direction of the light-emitting module points towards the front of the first side. The central filming direction of the camera unit points towards the front of the first side. The light-emitting module is coupled to the rotation mechanism such that the light-emitting module is capable of rotating about an axis of the rotation mechanism. When the lighting direction falls in a first angular range relative to the axis of the rotation mechanism, the light-emitting module provides a first mode illumination. When the lighting direction falls in a second angular range relative to the axis of the rotation mechanism, the light-emitting module provides a second mode illumination. Said first angular range is different from said second angular range. When the light-emitting module provides the second mode illumination, the central filming direction falls in the second angular range.
