LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR INDOOR SHOOTING RANGES

Abstract

A plurality of multiparameter lighting fixtures that are integrated into an indoor shooting range such that they project realistic lighting conditions at both the shooter's location and the target's location and wherein the individual shooter can select a wide variety of simulated law enforcement or hunting lighting conditions is disclosed.

Claims

1. An improved lighting system for an indoor shooting range having one or more targets comprising: two or more multiparameter lighting fixtures.

2. The improved lighting system for an indoor shooting range of claim 1 wherein said two or more multiparameter lighting fixtures placed throughout and integrated into said indoor shooting range provides a wide variety of realistic lighting conditions, both at the individual shooter's location and at said one or more target's locations.

3. The improved lighting system for an indoor shooting range of claim 1 further comprising: a central controller.

4. The improved lighting system for an indoor shooting range of claim 3 wherein said central controller communicates with said two or more multiparameter lights via a wired or unwired communication system.

5. The improved lighting system for an indoor shooting range of claim 4 wherein an individual shooter using said central controller can then provide a wide variety of realistic lighting conditions, both at the individual shooter's location and at said one or more target's locations.

6. An improved lighting system for an indoor shooting range having one or more targets comprising: two or more multiparameter lighting fixtures; said two or more multiparameter lighting fixtures placed throughout and integrated into said indoor shooting range; a central controller; said central controller communicating with said two or more multiparameter lights via a wired or unwired communication system; and, wherein an individual shooter using said central controller can then provide a wide variety of realistic lighting conditions, both at the individual shooter's location and at said one or more target's locations.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0014] FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment diagram of the improved indoor shooting range with theater lighting of this disclosure.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0015] As discussed above and shown in FIG. 1 the indoor shooting range (1) invention of this disclosure is useful for real time simulation of realistic lighting conditions at the target (3) location and at the shooter's (4) location that are controlled by that shooter using a central controller that is connected to communicate with the plurality of multiparameter lights (2) via a communication system allowing him/her to hone spotting/aiming and shooting skills in the controlled environment of an indoor shooting range (1).

[0016] As shown in the preferred embodiment diagram of the combined theater lighting and indoor shooting range (1) of FIG. 1, the novel idea of this disclosure includes multiparameter lighting fixtures (2) that are placed throughout and integrated into an indoor shooting range (1) wherein the individual shooter (4) using a central controller (not shown, which is well known to those in the theater lighting arts), that communicates with the plurality of multiparameter lights (2) via a wired or unwired communication system (not shown, which is also well know to those skilled in the art), which can then be used to provide a wide variety of realistic lighting conditions, both at the shooter's (4) location and at the target's (3) location.

[0017] Since certain changes may be made in the above described combined theater lighting and indoor shooting range of this disclosure without departing from the scope of the invention herein involved, it is intended that all matter contained in the description thereof or shown in the accompanying figure shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
