Definitions
- the invention relates to a lamp with an electrical supply unit, a lamp body and a feed line from the supply unit to the lamp body.
- Various embodiments of such lights are known from the prior art.
- the luminaire bodies have conventional illuminants such as fluorescent tubes, halogen lights or the like, the voltage applied to the luminaire body being constant in the known luminaires.
- Such lights have the advantage that they provide satisfactory lighting results.
- a disadvantage is that the known bulbs are often difficult to replace, and the life of the known bulbs is often unsatisfactory.
- Another disadvantage is the risk of fire, caused by the heat generated in the lamp.
- the invention has for its object to improve the known lights while maintaining the previous advantages in such a way that the life of the lamps is improved, and better interchangeability of the lamps is guaranteed than before.
- the functional properties of the luminaire are to be improved, in particular the disadvantages associated with the risk of fire are to be avoided.
- the object is achieved in that the lamp body has a lamp head designed as a circuit board, the circuit board containing at least one LED chain, and that the current flowing into the LED chain is constant.
- a luminaire is created with simple means, the illuminant of which has a longer lifespan than that of the known luminaires, and the illuminant of which can be replaced in a simple manner.
- the arrangement also has the advantage through the use of the circuit board with the light-emitting diode chain (s) that the use of light-emitting diodes, which do not heat up significantly in their function, reduces the risk of fire. In this way, the minimum distance between the illuminant and the object to be illuminated, which is required by fire protection, can be reduced.
- such arrangements can be designed flexibly, i.e. the relative position between the illuminant and the supply unit is variable. This flexibility results in the particular advantage that the lamp can be adapted to a monitor, for example, in order to optimally illuminate the keyboard underneath without the lamp base touching the work area.
- the lamp head designed as a circuit board has easily detachable electrical contact points. This also supports the interchangeability of the board.
- the circuit board of the lamp head has a plurality of light-emitting diode chains connected in parallel having. In this way, an even more uniform lighting function is achieved.
- the electrical supply unit of the lamp is battery-operated or battery-operated. In this way, additional electrical supply lines to the supply unit can be dispensed with and the positioning of the lamp on the workstation becomes more variable.
- Fig. 2 is a highly simplified schematic representation of the circuit board of a lamp head designed according to the invention with a plurality of light-emitting diode chains connected in parallel
- the lamp according to the invention is generally designated 10. She points, s. 1 of the drawing, an electrical supply unit 11, a lamp body 12 and a feed line 13 from the supply unit 11 to the lamp body 12.
- the lamp body 12 consists of a lamp head 14 having a circuit board 15.
- the circuit board 15 has at least one LED chain 16 on.
- the current coming from the supply unit 11 and flowing into the circuit board 15 is constant, in that the lamp head 14 is acted upon electrically in front of a constant current source which is spatially either in the Supply unit 11 or in the lamp body 12 is arranged.
- the circuit board 15 By supplying the circuit board 15 with the constant current source, a stable supply of the light-emitting diode chain (s) 16 as a light source is ensured. It is also possible to limit the maximum current, otherwise the LEDs will be destroyed if a certain value is exceeded. Since the LEDs emit essentially "cold light", the risk of fire is reduced.
- the arrangement can also be designed flexibly, so that the minimum distance of the object to be illuminated from the lamp can be reduced.
- the circuit board 15 of the lamp head 14 has a plurality of light-emitting diode chains 16 connected in parallel. This results in even more uniform lighting.
- the electrical supply unit 11 of the lamp 10 shown in FIG. 1 of the drawing is battery-operated in the exemplary embodiment shown, i.e. additional electrical connection means to the supply unit 11 can be dispensed with.
