Various embodiments provide an illumination system. The illumination system includes at least one effect lamp configured to emit radiation, a mobile lamp, which can be arranged on a mobile object and which is configured to emit radiation, and at least one control unit configured to control at least one of the effect lamp or the mobile lamp. The control unit is configured to control the effect lamp as a function of at least one of one or more state information items of the mobile lamp or of the effect lamp or of an object or in such a way that it controls the mobile lamp as a function of one or more state information items of at least one of the mobile lamp or of the effect lamp or of an object.

Electronic light emitting flares and related methods. Flares of the present invention include various features such as self-synchronization, remote control, motion-actuated or percussion-actuated features, dynamic shifting between side-emitting and top-emitting light emitters in response to changes in positional orientation (e.g., vertical vs. horizontal) of the flare; overrides to cause continued emission from side-emitting or top-emitting light emitters irrespective of changes in the flare's positional orientation; use of the flare(s) for illumination of traffic cones and other hazard marking or traffic safety objects or devices, group on/off features, frequency specificity to facilitate use of separate groups of flares in proximity to one another, selection and changing of flashing patterns and others.

A lantern is provided having a base portion in or on which a plurality of removable sub-lanterns may be stored or releasably attached. Each sub-lantern includes a separate power source capable of independently powering the sub-lantern. The sub-lanterns are separately selectively illuminable. The lantern base of a lantern includes a docking station having a docking station power source capable of simultaneously powering all sub-lanterns attached to the docking station simultaneously or any subset of the sub-lanterns attached to the docking station.

Embodiments described herein include broadband light source system comprising an optic coupler including a plurality of input branches coupled to an output. The system includes a plurality of light sources coupled to the plurality of input branches. Each light source outputs light having a different wavelength distribution than any other light source of the plurality of light sources. The output emits a broadband light source comprising a combined spectral output of the plurality of light sources.
