  • Patent number: 8861789
    Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a light source, which includes at least one luminescence diode and emits light during operation. The portable electronic device also includes a device for detecting an object in the beam path of the light emitted by the light source during operation. The device is designed to reduce the luminous flux of the light emitted by the light source during operation if the object is identified for a minimum duration within a minimum distance from the light source in the beam path.

  • Patent number: 8639104
    Abstract: An optical lighting device includes a radiation detector, a first light source and a second light source. The radiation detector includes a semiconductor chip and an optical filter, and has a spectral sensitivity distribution. The first light source generates white radiation. The second light source generates monochrome radiation in the visible spectral range, wherein radiation emitted by the first light source and radiation emitted by the second light source are superimposed to yield mixed radiation which includes a wavelength spectrum. The wavelength spectrum of the mixed radiation is adapted to the spectral sensitivity distribution of the radiation detector.
