  • Patent number: 9648692
    Abstract: A portable lamp, such as a headlamp, having control of the light power without the need for any manual switch is presented. The lamp comprises a power module for powering one or more light sources, first proximity detectors for detecting an object such as a finger moving close to the lamp, in one direction or another along a first axis X-X; and a control module receiving information generated by said first proximity detectors, said control module being configured for generating, from the direction of the movement of said object, a control information for switching-on, switching-off or adjusting the level of the intensity of the light power.

  • Patent number: 9469241
    Abstract: A portable lamp, such as a headlamp is presented. The lamp contains a light source comprising one or more sources for generating at least one light beam; a means for controlling the brightness of said at least one beam in response to a control information or a control signal; and a control unit for the purpose of generating said control information or said control signal. The control unit contains a photo sensor and a regulation circuit controlling a switch-off phase of one or more beams during a period not visible to the holder of the lamp. The switch off phase being combined with at least one measure of diversity made by means of the photo sensor(s) on the reflective ambient environment.
