The present invention relates to a decorative lighting panel for mounting to a home exterior via mounting holes, brackets, bolts, etc. The panel has a frame that includes a groove between a front surface and rear surface of the panel. A plurality of illumination sources in the form of LED strips or chips are disposed in the groove, for providing illumination and a retractable plastic cover is designed to reveal the LEDs when pulled down. The plastic cover generally covers the LEDs when illumination is not required. The panel has wireless capabilities allowing a remote control or a handheld electronic device with an installed software application to remotely control the operations of the panel. The panel is designed to be electrically connected to other similar panels to form a series of panels for creating a long segment of illumination.

A UV irradiation apparatus for coating systems that coat rigid or film-like workpieces, in particular furniture parts, having a transport apparatus for transporting workpieces provided with coating material from an inlet to an outlet through the UV irradiation apparatus, a UV light source arranged above the transport apparatus that irradiates the coated workpieces with UV light in an irradiation region between the inlet and the outlet, and a reflector or cover which shields the UV light source upward. A housing covers the irradiation region and the UV light source, which generally extends above the transport apparatus. A sensor of a measuring apparatus for direct or indirect automated measurement of radiant flux of the UV light source is arranged in the housing, and the sensor is in particular fitted fixed or movably on the housing or a holder. A method for quality assurance using this UV irradiation apparatus is also provided.

A framing system for shaping light beam comprises a frame support having a number of shutter blades surrounding said light beam, and a number of actuators that move said shutter blades in and out of said light beam. The shutter blades form a merged pile, where part of a first shutter blade is placed over a part of a second shutter blade. A first actuator rotates at least one of said shutter blades in relation to a first rotational point and a second actuator moves the first rotational point in relation to said light beam. A method of shaping a light beam is provided, and involves rotating a shutter blade around a first rotation point using a first actuator, and moving the first rotation point in relation to the light beam using a second actuator.

A beam shading device capable of accurately positioning includes a substrate, a plurality of shading blades mounted on the substrate, and driving mechanisms for driving the shading blades to move. The substrate is provided with a first light-passing hole through which beams pass, the plurality of shading blades are arranged around the periphery of the first light-passing hole, and the driving mechanisms drive the shading blades to move back and forth between blocking and opening the first light-passing hole. Each shading blade is configured with at least two driving mechanisms, and each driving mechanism includes a driving gear and a driving plate. The driving plate is hinged with the shading blade, and the driving plate is provided with a rack that meshes with the driving gear.

Provided are foldable light softboxes for users to conveniently carry around. The softbox comprises a body portion, a set of flexible and foldable frames, means for switching the softbox between an unfolded state and a collapsed state, and means for fitting the softbox over light sources of different sizes. The body portion of the softbox comprises a front panel, a back panel and a strip of material that circumferentially attached to the front panel to the back panel. The flexible and foldable frames are attached along the circumferences of the front and back panels. The softbox can be folded to fit in a circular container, for example, a bag.

A lighting unit includes a board on which a light emitting portion having a semiconductor light emitting device is arrayed on an upper side along the longitudinal direction. The lighting unit also includes a reflector which is disposed on the upper side of the board, and has a reflection portion inside the reflector for reflecting a light from the light emitting portion, as well as covering the light emitting portion. The lighting unit further includes a case disposed so as to support the board and the reflector from the top and the bottom.

Light fixtures (100, 200, 400, 500, 600, 700) are provided, including a lighting element (10, 20, 40, 50, 60, 70), an oriented crosslinked semi-crystalline polymer (12, 22, 42, 52, 62, 72) disposed adjacent to or connected to the lighting element, and a control mechanism (14, 24, 44, 64, 74). The control mechanism is in electrical communication with the lighting element (10, 20, 40, 50, 60, 70) and controls an energy output of the lighting element and a temperature of the oriented crosslinked semi-crystalline polymer (12, 22, 42, 52, 62, 72). Typically, when the control mechanism changes the temperature of the oriented crosslinked semi-crystalline polymer, the shape of the polymer changes. A method of making a light fixture (100, 200, 400, 500, 600, 700) is also provided. The method includes providing a lighting element (10, 20, 40, 50, 60, 70), forming a crosslinked semi-crystalline polymer (12, 22, 42, 52, 62, 72), and disposing the crosslinked semi-crystalline polymer adjacent to the lighting element (10, 20, 40, 50, 60, 70) or connecting the crosslinked semi-crystalline polymer to the lighting element. The method further includes electrically connecting a control mechanism (14, 24, 44, 64, 74) with the lighting element.

A lighting apparatus including a base is provided. The base includes a through-hole. The through-hole is aligned with an optical path of laser light for receiving and transmitting the laser light. A light emitter which, when irradiated with the laser light transmitted through the through-hole, radiates light by converting a wavelength of the laser light. An attachment component is provided on the base for attachment of the light emitter to the base. The light emitter is removable from the base. A light blocker opens the optical path of the laser light by being contacted by the light emitter when the light emitter is attached to the base, and blocks the optical path of the laser light when the light emitter is removed from the base.

An LED light bar is provided, comprising an LED light bar body, a cover, and a light shut-off switch. The cover has a closing surface portion and a rear surface portion and is connected to the LED light bar body through hinges at the two side portions for closing and opening the first LED lights on the front portion, and the cover has at least two stable deploying positions including a closing position and an opening position. The light shut-off switch is provided on the first portion of the LED light bar body for turning off the first LED lights while the cover is in the closing position. The LED light bar may further comprise second LED lights disposed on the closing surface portion of the cover, and the light shut-off switch is further configured for turning off the second LED lights while the cover is in the closing position.
