  • Patent number: 10801693
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are presented for retaining a dome lens in a lighting element that provides a projection of light forming a substantially uniform bright light on a surface a known distance from the lighting element. The lighting element includes a dome lens that is removably positioned proximal to a light source, such that the light source is retained at a location within a focal length of a projection lens and at or within a focal length of the dome lens. The dome lens magnifies the light outputted by the light source, such that the projected light is brighter than the light generated by the light source.

  • Patent number: 10667357
    Abstract: A light control device providing handsfree control of a lighting source using measures of the orientation of the lighting source is presented. The measurement of the orientation of the lighting source is monitored and while the orientation retains the light outputted by the lighting source within a designated area, the light output remains in an ON state. However, with the orientation of the lighting source indicates the light output may be outside the designated area, the light output is turned OFF. In addition, a method for calibrating the system to define the designated area is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9924083
    Abstract: A system for aligning a camera view and the illumination of a lighting fixture is disclosed. The system includes a camera contained with a housing and a lighting fixture that is pivotedly attached to the housing. An angle adjuster attached to a proximate end of each of the housing and the lighting fixture converts a linear movement to the adjuster into an angular adjustment of the lighting fixture with regard to an optical axis of a camera contained with the housing. In another aspect of the invention, the system of aligning a camera view and light fixture may be attached to a magnification lenswear and a focal point of the magnification lenswear may be aligned with the aligned camera view and the illumination of the lighting fixture.
