A light is provided which includes a first, forwardly concave reflector member, a first, forward lamp spaced ahead of the reflector member, and a second rearwardly concave reflector member spaced forward of the lamp. The rear reflector member has a generally parabolic surface and the forward member has a generally arcuate surface. When the lamp is activated, its rays generally travel forward, are reflected off the second reflector member rearward onto the first reflector member, and thence forward in a substantially parallel array to provide a spot light. A second lamp is located axially rearward of the first lamp and forward of the first reflector. When this lamp is activated, its rays travel generally laterally, strike the first reflector member, and thence are reflected forward in generally random array to provide a flood light. Means are provided to selectively activate either or both of said lamps. In a further embodiment, the first reflective member has a spherical central portion and a parabolic peripheral portion.
Adapter modules are provided for use with different types of video cameras and associated battery packs to energize the cameras and also light units from the battery packs. Each module includes interconnection means for mating with those of the cameras and associated battery packs and each module includes electrical circuitry for applying proper operating voltages to the cameras and light units. The electrical circuitry includes a voltage converter circuit, which may be either a down-converter or an up-converter.
A luminaire (1) is disclosed, comprising a main reflector (3) with a light emission window (5), and comprising a counter reflector (7) positioned opposite to the main reflector. Means (9) for accommodating at least one electric lamp (11) are provided in the luminaire in between the main reflector and the counter reflector. The counter reflector is provided with a light-transmitting cover (13), acting as an optical waveguide and positioned at a side (15) of the counter reflector facing away from the means (9). The cover is provided with diffusor bodies (21) which scatter the light coupled into the cover and transmitted through the bulk of the cover. Thus a desired distribution and appearance of the optical brightness of the cover is obtained.
A lighting fixture to illuminate a target surface, particulary a surgical site, is provided which includes a light source, a reflector superposing and partially circumscribing the light source, a cylindrical filter surrounding the light source coaxial to the axis of symmetry of the lighting fixture and a refractor positioned beneath the reflector through which the light reflected from the reflector must pass to reach the target surface. The refractor is divided into a plurality of portions which radiate outwardly from the axis of symmetry. Each portion includes first, second and third prism means having individual prism members of varying configuration for focusing the light to first, second and third areas, respectively, within a cylinder of light defined by the light passing through the refractor, to provide small, medium and large patterns respectively, of the cylinder of light when it impinges upon the target surface. Means are provided for selectively blocking light from passing through certain areas of the refractor to achieve the desired pattern.
A lighting device for motor vehicles comprises a light source and an end cover having at least a first section and a second section. The lighting device further comprises a first reflector, which directs light emitted by the light source on to the end cover. A first optically active element is arranged in the ray path between the light source and the first reflector and deflects the light rays emitted by the light source, so that the deflected rays strike the first reflector at an angle of incidence, the associated angle of reflection of which causes the rays from the first reflector to be directed at least substantially on to the second section of the end cover.
An optical device for an optical element to control a light path about emission light emitted from the optical element to external or incident light entered from external to the optical element, which includes a light reflecting member, a resin member covering a light reflection surface of the light reflecting member, and a bumper member interposed between the light reflecting member and the resin member. The resin member is provided with a boundary surface for almost totally reflecting light deviated from a predetermined region in front of the optical element, and the boundary surface of the resin member or the light reflecting member is so disposed that light deviating from the predetermined region in front of the optical element and passing between the optical element and an external of the optical device is reflected more than once with each of the boundary surface and the light reflecting member.
