The present invention relates to the field of lighting, and in particular to a light-emitting lamp string wire, wherein the light-emitting lamp string wire comprises a lamp string wire male connector, a lamp string wire female connector, and bulb power cords and copper wire lamp power cords installed between the lamp string wire male connector and the lamp string wire female connector, wherein the bulb power cords are connected in parallel with several bulbs, and the copper wire lamp power cords are connected in parallel with several LED lamp beads. With the present invention, light-emitting modes of the bulbs and said several LED lamp beads can be synchronous switched and colors thereof can be synchronous changed; a connection way of two strands of power cords effectively avoids a problem of a significant difference in brightness of front and rear lamp beads because the copper wire lamp core wires are too thin and there is a large front and rear voltage drop; and, both power control and solar control are considered. Therefore, the light-emitting lamp string wire is more beautiful, more ornamental, easier to install, and more widely used.

11649956 · 2023-05-16 · ·

The present disclosure provides a lighting device for use with inflatable products, such as balloons. Specifically, the lighting device may be configured to utilize external audio to produce a pattern of light corresponding with the external audio. The lighting device is able to couple to a balloon to light up the interior of the balloon without the significant loss of gas or other inflating fluid from the balloon.

Arrangement for changing the visual appearance of a target object

The invention relates to an arrangement (100) comprising a lighting system (110) and a target object (120), wherein the lighting system (110) is arranged to illuminate a target surface of the target object (120) with a primary light output (111) and with a secondary light output (112). Each of these light outputs has an illumination spectrum representing a color. The two illumination spectra are different, but the two colors are substantially the same. The target surface has a first target surface area and a second target surface area. When the first and second target surface areas are illuminated with the primary light output (111), they have a contrast that is lower than when they are illuminated with the secondary light output (112). The arrangement of the invention can be used for atmosphere creation or for attracting attention to the target object (120).

An ophthalmic illumination system includes a light source to emit a light beam and a filter comprising a clear region to transmit visible light in the visible spectrum and a first filtered region to transmit visible light in a first spectral range. The filter is arranged within the optical path of the beam. The system includes a plurality of chromaticity sensors to receive a portion of the light beam transmitted by the filter and output a signal indicating chromaticity of the received beam. The system also includes a processor to receive the signal indicating chromaticity, compare the indicated chromaticity to a target chromaticity stored in memory and, based on the comparison, adjust the chromaticity of the light beam transmitted by the filter by generating a signal to move the filter from a first position in which the light beam is incident upon only the clear region to a second position in which the light beam is partially incident on both the clear region and the first filtered region.
