20220397246 · 2022-12-15 · ·

At least one of a selected animation an image and a character are displayed by vertical oscillation of a hand at a horizontal position of a light display device. In the horizontal position of the hand and also in the horizontal position of the light display device, a slider animation (directional arrow) is displayed without oscillation. When the light display device is upright, the device illuminates a red warning light on both sides. An illuminating device is switched on to display at least one of text, animation and a character by means of horizontal oscillation. When the light display device is caught from the right hand to the left, the displayed text, animation or character is automatically rotated to a readable position. When the device is lowered to the vertical position, the display is automatically interrupted.

Lighting device with built-in RF antenna

A lighting device, such as a replacement lighting device, comprising a light source (LS), e.g. LEDs, for producing light along an optical axis (OA). A heat sink (HS) made of a material with an electrical resistivity being less than 0.01 Ωm, e.g. a metallic heat sink being a part of the housing, transports heat away from the light source (LS). A Radio Frequency (RF) communication circuit (CC) connected to an antenna (A) serves to enable RF signal communication, e.g. to control the device via a remote control. Metallic components, including the heat sink (HS), having an extension larger than 1/10 of a wavelength of the RF signal are arranged below a virtual plane (VP) drawn orthogonal to the optical axis (OA) and going through the antenna (A). Hereby a compact device can be obtained, and still a satisfying RF radiation pattern can be obtained. The antenna can be a wire antenna or a PCB antenna, e.g. a PIFA or a IFA type antenna. In a special embodiment the antenna is formed on a ring-shaped PCB with a central hole allowing passage of light from the light source. Preferably, the antenna is positioned at least 2 mm in front of the heat sink (HS).
