Abstract: An illumination device with a number of light sources arranged in at least two groups of light sources that are individually controllable. The first group of light sources (203) have light collectors (209) such as internal reflection (TIR) lenses, mixers or other lenses placed over them to collect and convert light of the light sources into a number of light source beams. The second group of light sources (205) pass light through diffusing areas (215) of a diffuser (213) in the form of a diffusion cover included in the lamp housing to diffuse the light and create a background light for the first group of light sources. The light from the first group of light sources pass through non diffusing regions (211) of the diffuser cover without the light being diffused. The second group of light sources are interleaved with the first group by the diffuser having one or several diffusion areas between non diffusion areas.

Abstract: A drive, primarily for an optical light forming device, which light forming device can be used in a projector, which light forming device comprises an at least partly open area for light, where at least two light forming devices cooperate in a light path for forming the light, which light forming devices are rotated around a common axis in and out of the light path. To achieve opposite synchronous movement of light forming means, the light forming devices are rotated equal in opposite directions around the common axis by a common motor. Hereby, it can be achieved that the two light forming devices are rotated synchronously, but opposite in relation to each other. The opposite synchronous movement is very important if the light fainting devices are part of a modern computer controlled projector using step motors.

Hereby it can be achieved that the moving head light fixture which is able at the same time to generate a light into different directions. By having independent control over the light sources in both directions, it is possible to control the light from an external controller independently in both directions. The light sources could be formed out of a multiple of single light sources generating light at different colors.

It is the object of the invention to achieve a highly efficient LED bar for generating a bar of light. A further object of the invention is to store calibration data for each LED both electrically and mechanically close to the actual LED. Preferably, the main printed circuit is placed inside a heat conductive tube, where the pixel board is placed outside the heat conductive tube in a longitudinal recess, where the main printed circuit is placed inside an isolation cover. Hereby, it is achieved that the LEDs are placed on the outside of the tube in a way where heat generated from the LEDs is conducted downwards to the tube. Inside the tube, the rest of the power electronics and also the light controlling electronics are placed.

Abstract: A method for forming a light beam, and a light assembly having at least one light source with a fixed reflector which directs a beam of light light assembly having a front lens, and a light deflecting mechanism for changing the light angle of the light beam after passing through the front lens. The front lens has a central part that differs from the surrounding parts of the front lens, and the light deflecting mechanism, in a first position, concentrates the light beam into the central part of the front lens to generate a wide-angle light beam, and in a second position, distributes the light beam over the entire front lens to generate a narrow angle light beam. The light deflecting mechanism is connected with a first actuator, and is movable between the first and the second position.

Abstract: A light fixture and a method for control of a light fixture is supervised by at least one thermoswitch which protects the light source by disconnecting the power supply to the light source at elevated temperature. To achieve a safety circuit in a light fixture without switching the supply circuit to a light source, the at least one thermoswitch is connected to a low voltage safety loop, which safety loop is connected to a current source that generates a constant current in the safety loop. The safety loop is supervised by a current measuring device. Hereby, it is achieved that the switching, if temperature rises, is achieved by switching contacts that only carry a very limited current. This will increase the life time of the thermoswitch and very small switches can be used.

To achieve highly effective cooling of a lamp in a light fixture or a projector at least one forced air stream is generated by a blower system which blower system can be placed at a distance from the light source module and can be connected from the blower through a tube to a duct which directs an air stream towards the light source. By using a tube for the connection between the blowing unit and the actual place where air stream is to be used for cooling, it is possible to operate the blower in a place where the suction inlet for air into the blowing unit is a relatively cool place.
