  • Patent number: 9578713
    Abstract: An illumination device including a plurality of LEDs emitting light in different source colors is disclosed. The device receives an input signal indicative of at least a color and/or brightness to be emitted by the illumination device. The device also stores colorimetric data. The colorimetric data is indicative of colorimetric properties of the light emitted by the plurality of LEDs, where the colorimetric properties of the LEDs define the actual color gamut of the illumination device. The device also stores a predefined color gamut data. A processing unit generates an adjusted color gamut based on the actual color gamut and the predefined color gamut and activates the plurality of LEDs based on the input signal and the adjusted color gamut.

  • Patent number: 8042972
    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.
