A flash housing for photographic purposes is disclosed. The flash housing comprises a flash forming element arranged to generate a flash light and a lens element arranged to let at least part of the generated flash light out of the flash housing so as to obtain the flash. The obtainable flash light has a beam lobe with a controllable beam angle. A simulation light generator element is arranged for simulation of the obtainable flash light beam lobe having the controllable beam angle.

A light source device includes: a light-shielding member defining an opening; a light-guide member located in the opening in a top view and including two or more divided lens portions; and a plurality of light-emitting parts disposed such that each of the plurality of light-emitting parts corresponds to a respective one of the lens portions, each of the plurality of light-emitting parts being configured to be individually turned on. Each of the light-emitting parts has an upper surface serving as a light-emitting surface. The light-shielding member covers a portion of the light-emitting surface of at least one of the plurality of light-emitting parts in the top view. Irradiation areas corresponding to the light-emitting parts are at least partially different from each other.

An illumination apparatus which is capable of suppressing a mismatch between color temperature information for each of a plurality of light emitting units that illuminate a subject with light. Whether an optical accessory for toning or adjusting a light distribution angle is attached is detected for each of the plurality of light emitting units. The color temperature information indicative of a color temperature in a light emission when the plurality of light emitting units are caused to emit the light is decided according to light emission information indicative of a light emission state in each of the plurality of light emitting units and a detection result.

According to the invention, an LED fixture is provided for photographic and theatrical lighting. The light fixture is particularly suitable for photographic and theatrical lighting by mounting LED elements directly or indirectly on articulating arms. The arms rotate 90 degrees from a position where the arms are aligned substantially in parallel with an axis of the fixture hub and may be rotated 90 degrees for deployment of the fixture. In addition, the spokes may be flexed beyond the alignment permitted by the cooperation between the hub and mounting elements.

A lighting unit, configured and adapted for illuminating subjects for photography and filming, has a connecting element that comprises, on the one hand, plug-in locations configured and adapted to receive at least two light sources, and, on the other hand, contacts configured and adapted to be connected to a generator, the contacts being electrically connected to the plug-in locations. At least two light sources are inserted into the plug-in locations. A substantially transparent protective cover is connected to the connecting element and at least partially encloses each of the light sources connected to the connecting element. One light source is designed as an HMI (Hydrargyrum Medium-Arc Iodide) light and the at least one other light source is designed as a flash tube. A lighting device including a lighting unit, and a reflector assembly with a lighting device, are also disclosed.
