Illumination device and method controlling the same

Номер: US20120062126A1
Автор: Chin-Hao Wu, Hsiang-Yu Chen, Ken-Chih Chang
Принадлежит: Young Green Energy Co

An illumination device and a method controlling the same are provided. The illumination device produces a pulse width modulation signal to control an illumination light source of the illumination device. The illumination light source is used to illuminate an environment. A driver of the illumination device provides a current to the illumination light source so the illumination light source emits light and a light detecting element of the illumination device detects a first brightness in the environment when the pulse width modulation signal is at high potential. The driver stops providing the current to the illumination light source and the light detecting element detects a second brightness in the environment when the pulse width modulation signal is at low potential. Thus, through a single light detecting element, two different levels of brightness in the illuminated environment are detected.

A shower LED lighting system is disclosed consisting of a generator that provides electrical energy to a rechargeable battery. Said battery powers a LED light bulb using an energy conservation approach. In bright lighting condition from natural sunlight, a light sensor detects this condition, and uses the generator to recharge a battery for later use. During dim or poor light condition, the recharged battery provides electricity to the LED light bulb in a shower stall environment. Various embodiments of the invention can be realized; for example a newly designed showerhead as a entity that exist between a shower head and a water outlet pipe system.

Drive circuitry adapted to the LED light source turns on the LEDs when levels of ambient light above a threshold are detected, which may occur if the light source is placed in a dark enclosure that is opened in a lit room. After being opened, the drive circuitry periodically strobes off the LED light source to take ambient light measurements without the contribution of its own LED light for determining if the enclosure has been closed and the LED light source should again be shut off.

All aspects of the electrical and mechanical components of the deployable field light are spark-resistant and impact resistant such that the raising, lowering and powering of the deployable field light may be accomplished in hazardous environments. Further, the deployable field light includes additional safety features that are suited to ensure that raised lighting components are prevented from crashing down during deployment or retrieval operations. The filed light prevents accidental falls and maintenance failures because all potential energy is controlled by vertical shaft screws with fixed and engaged screw nuts that prevent rapid vertical/linear motion in any direction. The deployable field light utilizes worm-gear mechanisms along with idler gear translational properties to exert safe control of vertical motion during any deployment operation.
