Abstract

The dimmer/security light comprises a superimposed function of dusk or darkness actuated switch, operating with an randomly selected ON delay and/or randomly selected ON period. The dimmer switch also selects the incidental light brightness level, different at each new switch-on

Description

Dimmer sind Stell-Geräte, mit denen die Helligkeit einer Beleuch­ tung verändert werden kann.Dimmers are control devices with which the brightness of a lighting tion can be changed.

Im Einsatz sind Phasenanschnitt- oder Phasenabschnitt-Dimmer, deren Funktion dem Fachmann allgemein bekannt sind.Phase cut or phase cut dimmers are used, whose function is generally known to the person skilled in the art.

Dämmerungsschalter sind Schaltgeräte, die bei einsetzender Dunkel­ heit eine Beleuchtung einschalten.Twilight switches are switching devices that operate when darkness sets in switch on lighting.

Um während der Abwesenheit der Bewohner einem denkbaren Einbrecher vorzutäuschen, daß ein Haus oder eine Wohnung bewohnt ist, werden Beleuchtungen mit zufällig gewählten Zeitpunkten ein- oder ausge­ schaltet.To a possible burglar during the absence of residents pretend that a house or apartment is occupied Illuminations with randomly selected times on or off switches.

Um diesen Täuschungseffekt zu verstärken, werden die Ein- und Aus­ schalt-Perioden ausschließlich in die dunkle Zeit gelegt, so daß die zusätzliche Funktion des Dämmerungsschalters einbezogen wird.To reinforce this illusion effect, the on and off switching periods only in the dark time, so that the additional function of the twilight switch is included.

Die vorliegende Erfindung verbessert diese Täuschung dadurch, daß nicht nur die Zeitpunkte der Ein- oder Ausschaltung zufällig sind, sondern daß zusätzlich die jeweiligen Helligkeiten zufällig und unterschiedlich sind.The present invention improves this delusion in that not only are the times of switching on or off random, but that the respective brightness levels are random and are different.
