  • Patent number: 10132458
    Abstract: A lighting device provides a lighting unit for emitting useful light and a sensor. The unit includes a laser diode for emitting pump radiation and a phosphor element, which during operation is irradiated by the laser diode and thereby excited and serves for converting the pump radiation into conversion light, which conversion light at least proportionally forms the useful light. The sensor monitors the pump radiation conversion and at the same time detects a conversion light intensity, and is arranged with respect to the phosphor element of the unit so that a portion of the useful light and a measurement portion of the conversion light is incident on the sensor. The lighting device operates so that the phosphor element at least at times is irradiated in a pulsed manner and thereby excited so that between two pulses the conversion light intensity detected by the sensor decreases by at least 10%.

  • Publication number: 20180172220
    Abstract: An illumination device is provided. The illumination device includes a rotatable phosphor wheel, which is at least regionally provided with phosphor for converting primary light into secondary light, a primary light generator configured to generate at least one useful primary light beam incident on the phosphor wheel, and at least one measuring device configured to measure a measured variable which can be influenced by the phosphor and to determine damage of the phosphor on the basis of measured data of the at least one measuring device.

  • Publication number: 20180063924
    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, lighting sources having operating parameter(s) which is controllable in lighting sequence(s) as a function of a time code data set coupled with the sequence, are controlled in cooperation with virtual/augmented reality device(s), by: providing a repository of operating data files for the sources, coupled with the lighting sources, with each data file including time code data set(s) for lighting sequence(s) for a source among the lighting sources, retrieving in the data repository operating data file(s) coupled with a selected one of the lighting sources, and detecting a virtual/augmented reality signal from the virtual/augmented reality device(s), indicative of the fact that the virtual/augmented reality device is gazing at and/or is recognizing the selected lighting source, and operating the selected lighting source by controlling the operating parameter(s) as a function of the operating data included in the operating data file retrieved and of the virtual/augmented reali

  • Publication number: 20180010759
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a light-emitting arrangement is provided. The light-emitting arrangement includes a radiation source, into the beam path of which a micromirror device is arranged via which radiation emitted by the radiation source may be directed at least into a first and a second direction, at least one further radiation source configured to emit radiation toward the micromirror device. The radiation from the further radiation source may be directed, via the micromirror device at least into a first and a second direction. The micromirror device is movable about at least one axis into at least two positions.

  • Publication number: 20170334338
    Abstract: A projection lamp for illumination includes a pump radiation unit configured to emit pump radiation, a phosphor element for the at least partial conversion of the pump radiation into a conversion light, and a micromirror array having a multiplicity of micromirror actuators which are arranged in the form of a matrix. The projection lamp is set up such that, during operation, the phosphor element is irradiated by the pump radiation from the pump radiation unit. The conversion light which is thereupon emitted by the phosphor element at least partially makes up an illumination light, which illumination light is guided for adjusting a light distribution over the micromirror actuators. The micromirror actuators are illuminated inhomogeneously with the illumination light at respective times to support the light distribution that is adjusted using the micromirror array.

  • Publication number: 20170303367
    Abstract: An LED includes a first active region for the emission of a first primary radiation and a second active region for the emission of a second primary radiation, separate connections, a first phosphor for the at least partial conversion of the first primary radiation into a first conversion radiation in such a way that the first phosphor forms a first emitting surface of the LED for the emission of a first illumination radiation, and a second emitting surface for the emission of a second illumination radiation, which has a different spectral profile than the first illumination radiation, the second illumination radiation originating from the second primary radiation, and the emitting surfaces being shaped and arranged in a plan view, looking at the LED counter to a main emitting direction thereof, such that an outer of the emitting surfaces as a continuous surface area encloses an inner of the emitting surfaces.
