  • Luminescent control by sensing wind speed
    Patent number: 6198229
    Abstract: The present invention provides a control apparatus (11) for controlling luminescence produced by a light source (12) which includes a sensor (17) for sensing motion of air and a circuit (3) for varying the luminescence provided by the light source when motion of air is sensed. The sensor (17) is an air pressure sensor and all changes in the luminescence provided by the light source (12) are occasioned by sensed changes in air pressure.
