Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flashlight with light-emitting diodes.
  • Flashlights with light emitting diodes serving as light sources are basically known.
  • focusing elements are provided in the emission direction in front of the light emitting diodes in order to focus the light of the light emitting diodes and thus to achieve a sufficient illuminance even at greater distances on a limited area.
  • a lighting device which may be designed for use as a portable lamp or as a permanently installed lamp.
  • the illumination device has two or more light sources which emit light in different spectral ranges. Parameters of an electrical circuit serving the light sources are set so that the spectral energy distribution of illumination beams used to illuminate objects and surfaces can be shaped such that the perception and discrimination of information shown on the objects and surfaces by an observer can be improved and on the other hand, the radiation is reduced in non-desired spectral ranges.

  • a flashlight comprising a light bulb, a lens having a central convex portion and an annular planar portion surrounding it, a reflector which serves to radiate rays from the incandescent lamp through the annular portion of the lens in a substantially collimated light beam, and includes an opaque shield.
  • the shield is displaceable in the emission direction in order to allow light emitted by the incandescent lamp optionally to fall onto the reflector or to shield it from the emitted radiation.
  • DE 200 21 934 U1 describes a lamp, in particular a flashlight, with a plurality of light sources. All the light sources are light-emitting diodes, which are arranged side by side in each case centered in a reflector surrounding the respective light-emitting diode.
  • the reflectors are honeycomb-like connected to a one-piece body. Light emitted by the light-emitting diodes is directed by the reflectors directly onto objects to be illuminated.
  • a flashlight according to the invention has a flashlight base body and a lamp head.
  • This lamp head comprises at least two light emitting diodes and one each, one of the light emitting diodes associated optical means for focusing the light emitted by the respective light emitting diode.
  • the devices for bundling the light emitted by the respective light-emitting diode may, in particular, be converging lenses such as, for example, plano-convex or biconvex lenses.
  • a tube is arranged in each case between one of the light-emitting diodes and the associated optical device for focusing the light emitted by the respective light-emitting diode.
  • the tubes are designed so that they each largely prevent penetration of light from one of the light-emitting diodes into another optical device associated with the light-emitting diodes for focusing the light emitted by the respective light-emitting diode.
  • the tubes according to the invention prevents stray light of a light emitting diode in optical devices for focusing the light emitted by other light emitting diodes falls and after distraction by this to comparatively weakly illuminated areas in the of the flashlight generated light pattern leads to greater distance.

Particularly advantageous, since easy to manufacture, the surface of the tubes is matted for this purpose.

  • This cross section of the interior corresponds on the one hand to the emission characteristic of the light emitting diodes and, on the other hand, results in a very attractive, because circular light pattern.
  • such tubes are particularly easy to manufacture.
  • the optical device associated with this light-emitting diode is generally larger in area than the associated light-emitting diode in order to concentrate its light. Therefore, it is particularly preferred if at least a portion of the interior of the tubes has a truncated cone shape.
  • the tubes should in principle only be located between the light-emitting diode and the optical device associated with this light emitting diode for bundling the light emitted by the latter and, in particular, shorter than the distance between the light-emitting diode and the associated device for focusing the light emitted by the latter, it is preferred that the tubes are held on a base member and the LEDs facing ends receive at least parts of the filament of the LEDs.
  • an end of at least one tube assigned to a light-emitting diode adjoins the optical device assigned to this light-emitting diode for bundling the light emitted by this light-emitting diode or an element holding it.
  • this effect can also be achieved by appropriate shaping of the base element, for example by integrally formed spacers, however, at least in the case in which the ends of all the tubes adjoin the corresponding optical devices for bundling the light emitted by the light-emitting diodes, the result Another advantage that also scattered light by reflection at the optical means for focusing the light emitted by the respective light emitting diodes can not readily fall into the interior of the lamp head between the tubes and can be reflected from there, so that the resulting unwanted scattered light is suppressed.

On the other hand results in viewing contrary to the direction of light from ordinary flashlights ago known and appealing image.
  • the optical means for focusing the light emitted by the respective light emitting diodes are arranged inclined to each other so that each formed by the optical devices bundles of light emitted from the light emitting diode intersect in a predetermined range.

  • the given range not only a greater illuminance, but also a better delineated and more homogeneous light pattern.
  • the inclination of the optical axes and the position and focal length of the lenses are chosen so that the image of the LEDs is in the intersection of the bundle. It then results in the predetermined range as a light pattern essentially a circle without disturbing, the circle surrounding reflections.
  • the light-emitting diodes are preferably held on a printed circuit board which has contact elements for contacting current supply contacts provided in the flashlight base body or batteries or accumulators which can be inserted into the flashlight base body.
