  • Patent number: 9341934
    Abstract: An optical system for LED light projectors utilizing a Fresnel or planar-convex lens that permits a considerable energy saving and an elevated quality of the illumination either in FLOOD or SPOT mode is described. The optical system has a mirror having a particular three-dimensional surface constructed by rotating a parabola and taking sectors so as to obtain a surface that is more closed than a pure parabola. A reflecting optical system for projectors utilizing a Fresnel or planar-convex lens is also described.

  • Patent number: 6427977
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lifting apparatus, particularly for lighting fittings. The lifting apparatus comprises a pair of pantograph structures which are spaced apart, substantially parallel, and facing each other. The lifting apparatus further includes a suspension coupling and means at the bottom thereof for coupling the fitting to be lifted. Motorization means to operate both the parallelogram structures are provided between the two parallelogram structures. Connection means associated with the motorization means are associated with each one of the parallelogram structures.

  • Patent number: 6365073
    Abstract: A process for cold- and hot-working of methacrylate optic conductors (M), of cylindric or of any other shape, that allows a beam of light, inserted into said conductors, to be totally inwardly reflected according to the angles contained in the limit angle of the total internal reflection, and determines the emission according to beam angles—in theory—180° amplitude but, in the practical industrial realizations, of 30° or 56°, from the section of the conductor opposed to the one carrying the reflection means (2).
