  • Patent number: 10485067
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for protecting a user of a light system (100), which comprises multiple illuminants (L1-L6), at least one light sensor (30) and at least one coding unit (40), from dazzling light from at least one of the illuminants (L1-L6), comprising the following steps: creating of a respective coding for light (M1-M6) of the individual illuminants (L1-L6) by the at least one coding unit (40), detecting of dazzling light (M2X) from at least one of the illuminants (L1-L6) by the at least one light sensor (30), assigning of the detected dazzling light (M2X) with the at least one associated illuminant (L2) on the basis of the coding of the light for the corresponding illuminant (L2), and setting of the at least one associated illuminant (L2) to protect the user from the detected dazzling light (M2X). The invention furthermore relates to a light system (100) and a machine (200) having the light system (100) for carrying out a method according to the invention.

  • Patent number: 10442338
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for adjusting the light of at least one illuminant (10) of a working illumination (100) of a machine (200) by means of a control unit (20) and at least one signaling device (50), the control unit (20) having a signal connection to the at least one illuminant (10) and to the at least one signaling device (50) by means of signal lines (30), the light of the at least one illuminant (10) being performed by modulating a voltage supply of the illuminants (10) and/or of the at least one signaling device (50) via the signal lines (30) by means of the control unit (20). The invention further relates to a working illumination (100) and a machine (200) for carrying out a method according to the invention.

  • Patent number: 10427589
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a work lighting (100) for a machine (200) for generating an adaptive working illumination, comprising a plurality of lighting means (10) arranged in the form of a light-emitting matrix (20) to generate the working illumination, and at least one central adjusting unit (60, 70, 80) for separately adjusting the working illumination of the individual lighting means (10) in the light-emitting matrix. The invention further relates to a machine (200) having a work lighting (100) according to the invention.
