Abstract: In various embodiments, a lamp is provided. The lamp may include at least one solid light source which is installed on a carrier; an at least partially light-permeable vessel, which encloses the light source and the carrier in a gas-tight manner and a filling gas, which is enclosed in the vessel, wherein the filling gas is a mixture of at least one gas having high thermal conductivity and at least one gas having a different physical property.

Abstract: A lighting assembly comprising a base body configured as a heat sink (18) having a front surface (18a), a board (14) carrying a light radiation source (12) applied on the front surface of the heat sink, and a fixing element (20) mounted on the front surface of the heat sink with the board arranged therebetween. The fixing element includes a window (22) which leaves at least partly uncovered the light radiation source, such window having side walls (220) which surround the light radiation source and spread outward to form a reflector for the light radiation.

Abstract: In a method for operating at least one light emitting diode the at least one light emitting diode is operated at least in some ranges by means of a pulse number modulation, in which a number of uniform current pulses is set within a predetermined interval duration depending on a light energy desired value.

Abstract: A method for operating a semiconductor lighting device, wherein the semiconductor lighting device comprises semiconductor light sources having at least two different colors and wherein, in order to adjust a color coordinate of the semiconductor lighting device, at least one brightness of the semiconductor light sources is set by means of a control and wherein the at least one brightness of the semiconductor light sources is adjusted by at least two controls, and wherein, upon reaching or exceeding at least one predetermined switchover point, a switchover is made between two of the controls.

Abstract: A monitoring processing device (SW) comprises a plurality of process means (A, B, C) which monitor a status of a hardware device (HW) by reading status information from an interface device (ID) via respective accesses (SAA, SAB, SAC). According to the invention the interface device (ID) comprises a first memory (MEM1), a mapping means (MAP) and a plurality of second memories (MEM21, MEM22, MEM23). The mapping means (MAP) uses a predefined mapping pattern (MPN) to map at least a part of a status information stored in the first memory (MEM1) as a bit pattern to at least one second memory (MEM21, MEM22, MEM23). Thus, each process means (A, B, C) is provided flexibly and individually with its own status information which cannot be disturbed by other process means. Thus, an accurate provision of status information in a flexible manner is achieved.
