  • Publication number: 20180266659
    Abstract: In a device with replaceable optical filter, a base is provided with a slot and an opening, and middle of the slot has a light-transmitting portion, each of two opposite sides of an inner edge of the slot is provided with at least one protruding portion. An elastic light-filtering member includes an elastic frame body and an optical filter arranged within the elastic frame body and exposed to the light-transmitting portion to filter light. A front end of the elastic frame body is provided with two arc portions, the elastic frame body gradually narrows from its rear end to the front end. Each of two opposite sides of the elastic frame body is provided with one concave portion whose position corresponds to a position of the protruding portion. The present invention directly extracts the optical filter in the slot without repeatedly disassembling the light-controlling device.

  • Patent number: 9791765
    Abstract: A lighting control device is mounted in a photoflash and comprises a fixing seat and a honeycomb grid installed in said fixing seat. The terminal of an extension of one end of the honeycomb grid has a first installation member, and the other end of the honeycomb grid has a honeycomb member. An annular region of the outer surface of the honeycomb member, which is adjacent to the first installation member, has a second installation member. In application, the first or second installation member is sleeved by the fixing seat to make the photoflash generate a desired lighted area according to requirement. Thereby, the present invention can change the distance between the honeycomb member and the photoflash and adjust the area lighted by the photoflash via varying the installation way of the honeycomb grid.

  • Publication number: 20150185590
    Abstract: A foldable subdued-lighting device is provided, comprising a base pedestal, and on an upper surface of the base pedestal is an assembly part. The assembly part is covered with a soft subdued-lighting mask, and there are a plurality of light-guiding refraction protrusions which surround and are disposed on an inner surface of the soft subdued-lighting mask. When the proposed device is applied to a lamp, the light emitted from the lamp passes through the light-guiding refraction protrusions, such that the original light is spread and diffused to become a subdued light. The proposed device is advantageous of generating a subdued light by using the light-guiding refraction protrusions to refract the light emitted from the lamp, and also generating light with high intensity by folding the soft subdued-lighting mask itself such that the transparency of the soft subdued-lighting mask is adjusted.
