  • Publication number: 20180274756
    Abstract: An LED lighting device (6) having an LED (8) emitting white light and optical filter means (12) suitable for filtering the white light emitted by the LED (8). The optical filter means comprise at least two optical filters (12) that have different transmission coefficients and that are positionable to filter the light emitted by the LED (8) individually. The lighting device (6) includes a power supply unit (10) suitable for delivering different power supply currents to the LED (8) depending on whether one or the other of the optical filters (12) is positioned to filter the light from the LED (8), so as to modify the color temperature of the light emitted by the LED (8).

  • Patent number: 9289269
    Abstract: A lighting device comprises a first light source (10) at a first color temperature (Tk1), a second light source (20) at a second color temperature (Tk2) that is different from the first color temperature, and an optical system that forms an illumination spot (3) at an intermediate color temperature (Tkr). The optical system comprises a beam splitter (13) that is arranged to split the light produced by each light source (10, 20) into a transmitted light beam and a reflected light beam. It is arranged to focus said transmitted and reflective light beams (FR1, FR2) and to combine them in a certain superposition configuration in a superposition plane in which said illumination spot is formed, and the optical system and the light sources are arranged to modify the size of the illumination spot (3) at said intermediate temperature.

  • Patent number: 9175803
    Abstract: An adjustable-position load supporting arm (4) comprises a framework having the shape of a deformable parallelogram one free end (5) of which is able to support a load and a jack (12) able to deform the deformable parallelogram, the jack (12) being of the adjustable-pressure type so that the pressure inside the jack (12) is adjustable according to the weight of said load supported by the supporting arm (4). It comprises, at the free end (5), a connecting piece (6) able to support said load and has, in a first configuration, an axis of orientation (A) that is fixed with respect to said fixed link (9a) and, in a second configuration, an axis of orientation (B) that is variable with respect to said fixed link (9a) when said supporting arm (4) shifts position.
