Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Lampenanordnung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention is based on a lamp arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Leuchtstoff- bzw. Niederdruck-Gasentladungslampenanordnungen tragen aufgrund ihrer hohen Lichtausbeute und langen Lebensdauer zu einem großen Teil der Allgemeinbeleuchtung bei. Im Entladungsgefäß einer Leuchtstofflampe befindet sich Quecksilber in dampfförmiger Phase. Über die Prozesse der Ionisation und Anregung der Atome des Quecksilberdampfes, entstehen einerseits ein Elektronenstrom und andererseits eine UV-Strahlung, die beim Auftreffen auf eine Leuchtstoffbeschichtung der Lampe in sichtbares Licht umgewandelt wird.Fluorescent or low-pressure gas discharge lamp arrangements contribute to a large part of the general lighting due to their high luminous efficacy and long life. The discharge vessel of a fluorescent lamp contains mercury in the vapor phase. Through the processes of ionization and excitation of the atoms of mercury vapor, on the one hand, an electron current and on the other hand, a UV radiation, which is converted into visible light when hitting a fluorescent coating of the lamp.

Nachteilig an Leuchtstofflampen ist, dass aufgrund des in ihnen enthaltenen giftigen Quecksilberdampfes ein bedeutendes Risiko für Mensch und Umwelt besteht. Diesem Risiko muss durch geeignete Maßnahmen, lückenlos und während der ganzen Lebensdauer einer Leuchtstofflampe, entgegengewirkt werden. So sind entsprechende Sicherheitsvorkehrungen bei der Produktion, der Verpackung, der Lagerung, dem Transport, der Lagerung im Handel bis hin zum Gebrauch beim Anwender und zur fachgerechten Entsorgung zu beachten und erzeugen erhebliche Aufwände und Kosten.A disadvantage of fluorescent lamps is that there is a significant risk to humans and the environment due to the toxic mercury vapor contained in them. This risk must be counteracted by appropriate measures, without gaps and throughout the life of a fluorescent lamp. Thus, appropriate safety precautions in the production, packaging, storage, transport, storage in the trade to use by the user and for proper disposal are observed and generate considerable effort and expense.

Das Dokument US 7,053,557 B2 offenbart eine Lampenanordnung mit röhrenförmigen LED-Lampen, die die oben beschriebenen Leuchtstofflampen ersetzen können. In den LED-Lampen sind mehrere LEDs entlang der Längsachse angeordnet. Sie emittieren dabei je nach ihrer Bauart weißes oder farbiges Licht. Ebenso ist bekannt, LEDs unterschiedlicher Farbe in den Lampen anzuordnen, um über eine geeignete Steuerung ihrer Lichtleistung beliebige Lichtfarben durch Mischung der Farben der einzelnen LEDs zu erzeugen. Kontaktiert werden die LED-Lampen über je einen an den Enden ihrer Glaskolben ausgebildeten Sockel. Die Lampensockel sind dabei so ausgebildet, dass sie in die bestehenden Fassungen von Leuchtstofflampen eingesetzt werden können.The document US Pat. No. 7,053,557 B2 discloses a lamp assembly with tubular LED lamps which are as described above Can replace fluorescent lamps. In the LED lamps several LEDs are arranged along the longitudinal axis. Depending on their design, they emit white or colored light. It is also known to arrange LEDs of different colors in the lamps to produce any light colors by mixing the colors of the individual LEDs via a suitable control of their light output. The LED lamps are each contacted via a socket formed at the ends of their glass pistons. The lamp bases are designed so that they can be used in the existing versions of fluorescent lamps.

Das Dokument JP 2008108598 AA offenbart eine Fernbedienungseinheit zur Steuerung der Lichtfarbe von LED-Lampen, die LEDs unterschiedlicher Farbe enthalten. Mit auf der Fernbedienungseinheit angeordneten Steuertasten stellt der Bediener die Strahlungsleistung der jeweiligen verschiedenfarbigen LEDs ein. Aus dieser Einstellung resultiert eine Lichtfarbe der LED-Lampe.The document JP 2008108598 AA discloses a remote control unit for controlling the light color of LED lamps containing LEDs of different colors. With control buttons located on the remote control unit, the operator adjusts the radiant power of the various colored LEDs. This setting results in a light color of the LED lamp.

Neben der Möglichkeit die Einstellung der Lampeneigenschaften über eine Fernbedienung vorzunehmen, ist es auch möglich, für diesen Zweck Bedienelemente an der Lampe oder an der Lampenanordnung, in der die Lampe eingebaut ist, anzuordnen.In addition to the possibility of setting the lamp characteristics via a remote control, it is also possible to arrange for this purpose controls on the lamp or on the lamp assembly in which the lamp is installed.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel für eine fernbediente LED-Lampenanordnung ist das System Color e-Motion von OSRAM.An exemplary embodiment of a remote-operated LED lamp arrangement is the Color e-Motion system from OSRAM.

Die genannten Lampen und Lampenanordnungen haben die Gemeinsamkeit, dass Eigenschaften der Lampen, wie beispielsweise angeschaltet/ausgeschaltet, die Helligkeit oder die Lichtfarbe, über eine im Betrieb der Lampe jederzeit berührbare und damit leicht verstellbare Bedieneinheit eingestellt werden können.The lamps and lamp arrangements mentioned have the common feature that the properties of the lamps, such as switched on / off, the brightness or the light color, over a during operation of the lamp at any time be touched and thus easily adjustable control unit can be adjusted.

Nachteilig bei dieser Lösung ist, dass die Eigenschaften der Lampe im Betrieb ungewollt, zufällig oder beispielsweise durch unautorisierte Personen verstellt werden können.The disadvantage of this solution is that the properties of the lamp can be inadvertently, accidentally or unjustified, for example, by unauthorized persons during operation.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die Sicherheit gegen eine zufällige, ungewollte oder unautorisierte Änderung von Eigenschaften der Lampe zu erhöhen. Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Lampenanordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The object of the present invention is to increase the security against a random, unwanted or unauthorized change of properties of the lamp. This object is achieved by a lamp arrangement having the features of claim 1.

Besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen finden sich in den abhängigen Ansprüchen.Particularly advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß weist eine Lampenanordnung eine Lampe auf, die zumindest einen Sockel hat, der zur Kontaktierung der Lampe in eine Fassung einsetzbar ist. Dabei hat die Lampenanordnung zumindest ein Bedienelement zum Einstellen einer Eigenschaft der Lampe. Das zumindest eine Bedienelement ist bei bestimmungsgemäßem Gebrauch der Lampe nicht zugänglich.According to the invention, a lamp arrangement has a lamp which has at least one base which can be inserted in a socket for contacting the lamp. In this case, the lamp arrangement has at least one operating element for setting a property of the lamp. The at least one operating element is not accessible when the lamp is used as intended.

Diese erfindungsgemäße Lampenanordnung hat den Vorteil gegenüber dem eingangs erläuterten Stand der Technik, dass bei bestimmungsgemäßem Gebrauch der Lampe in der Lampenanordnung ein zufälliges, ungewolltes Verstellen ihrer Eigenschaften nicht möglich ist. Die Eigenschaften der Lampe können über das zumindest eine Bedienelement nur verstellt werden, wenn der bestimmungsgemäße Gebrauch dazu unterbrochen ist. Eine unbewusste Verstellung von Eigenschaften wird dadurch weitgehend verhindert. Als bestimmungsgemäßer Gebrauch ist dabei insbesondere jeder Gebrauch der Lampenanordnung zu sehen, bei dem die Lampenanordnung Licht abgibt oder abgeben kann und bei dem die Lampenanordnung entsprechend technischer, insbesondere sicherheitstechnischer Vorschriften zum Betrieb entsprechender Lampen angeordnet, eingebaut und/oder angeschlossen ist. Dabei ist die Lampe in einer Fassung zum Betrieb mit Netzspannung gehalten.This lamp arrangement according to the invention has the advantage over the prior art explained at the outset that accidental, unintentional adjustment of its properties is not possible when the lamp is used as intended in the lamp arrangement. The properties of the lamp can via the at least one control element only be adjusted if the intended use is interrupted. An unconscious adjustment of properties is thereby largely prevented. In particular, any use of the lamp assembly is seen as intended use, in which the lamp assembly emits light or can deliver and in which the lamp assembly according to technical, especially safety regulations for the operation of appropriate lamps arranged, installed and / or connected. The lamp is held in a socket for operation with mains voltage.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Bedienelement an einer Außenseite der Lampenanordnung angeordnet. Dies ermöglicht einen guten Zugang, sofern die Lampenanordnung nicht im für den bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch vorgesehenen Zustand, also beispielsweise nicht in einer Leuchte eingebaut, ist. Insbesondere ist das Bedienelement damit so angeordnet, dass eine Öffnung der Lampenanordnung zur Bedienung des Bedienelements nicht erforderlich ist.Advantageously, the operating element is arranged on an outer side of the lamp arrangement. This allows good access, provided that the lamp assembly is not installed in the intended condition for the intended use, that is, for example, not installed in a luminaire. In particular, the operating element is thus arranged so that an opening of the lamp arrangement for operating the operating element is not required.

Erfindungsgemäss ist das Bedienelement am Sockel der Lampe angeordnet.According to the invention, the operating element is arranged on the base of the lamp.

Ist der Sockel der Lampe in die Fassung eingesetzt, bildet sich in einem Bereich des Sockels und der Fassung eine Zone aus, die unzugänglich ist. Ist das Bedienelement in dieser Zone positioniert, so ist ein Verstellen des Bedienelementes nach dem Einsetzen des Sockels der Lampe in die Fassung nicht mehr möglich. Eine Verstellsicherheit ist somit bereits alleine durch eine geschickte räumliche Positionierung des Bedienelementes gegeben. Das hat den Vorteil, dass neben dem bereits bestehenden Sockel und der bestehenden Fassung keine weiteren Maßnahmen oder Vorrichtungen zur Verstellsicherung des Bedienelementes notwendig sind. Da das in dieser Zone angeordnete Bedienelement nur zugänglich ist, wenn der Sockel der Lampe nicht in der Fassung eingesetzt ist, kann es nur in stromlosem Zustand der Lampe berührt bzw. bedient werden. Das hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass das Bedienelement dadurch keiner IEC Konformität genügen muss und deshalb einfacher und kostengünstiger ausgeführt sein kann. Des Weiteren ist von Vorteil, dass ein Bedienelement, das in dieser Zone angeordnet und für einen Betrachter von außen nicht sichtbar ist, die ästhetische Anmutung der Lampenanordnung nicht beeinflusst.If the base of the lamp is inserted into the socket, a zone is formed in an area of the socket and the socket which is inaccessible. If the operating element is positioned in this zone, it is no longer possible to adjust the operating element after inserting the base of the lamp into the socket. An adjustment is thus already given by a skillful spatial positioning of the control. This has the advantage that, in addition to the already existing socket and the existing version no further measures or devices for Verstellsicherung the control element are necessary. Since the control element arranged in this zone is accessible only when the base of the lamp is not inserted in the socket, it can only be touched or operated when the lamp is de-energized. This has the particular advantage that the control element does not have to comply with IEC conformity and can therefore be made simpler and less expensive. Furthermore, it is advantageous that a control element, which is arranged in this zone and is not visible to a viewer from the outside, does not affect the aesthetic appearance of the lamp arrangement.

Eine bevorzugte Anwendung findet die erfindungsgemäße Lampenanordnung, wenn eine LED-Lampe wie z.B. eine röhrenförmige LED-Tube als Lampe verbaut ist.A preferred application is the lamp assembly according to the invention, when an LED lamp, such as e.g. a tubular LED tube is installed as a lamp.

Ein Vorteil von LED-Lampen gegenüber anderen herkömmlichen Lampen ist, dass sie keine gasdichten Sockel benötigen.An advantage of LED lamps over other conventional lamps is that they do not require gas-tight sockets.

LED-Lampen zeichnen sich weiterhin dadurch aus, dass ihre Lichteigenschaften mit geringem technischem Aufwand einfach, präzise und gut reproduzierbar zu ändern sind. So kann beispielhaft bei Verwendung von verschiedenfarbigen LEDs in einer LED-Lampe deren Lichtfarbe präzise eingestellt werden. Ebenso kann bei der Dimmung der Helligkeit einer LED-Lampe die ursprüngliche Farbtemperatur des Lichtes sehr präzise konstant gehalten werden kann.LED lamps are further characterized by the fact that their light properties are simple, precise and easily reproducible to change with little technical effort. For example, when using LEDs of different colors in an LED lamp, their light color can be set precisely. Similarly, when dimming the brightness of an LED lamp, the original color temperature of the light can be kept very precisely constant.

Vorteilhafter Weise ist die Lampe der Lampenanordnung beidseitig gesockelt.Advantageously, the lamp of the lamp assembly is socketed on both sides.

Eine beidseitig gesockelte Lampe weist einen zusätzlichen Sockel und eine zusätzliche Fassung auf. Somit steht eine zusätzliche Zone zur Verfügung, in dem Bedienelemente angeordnet sein können.A double capped lamp has an additional socket and an additional socket. Thus, an additional zone is available in which controls can be arranged.

Von Vorteil ist gemäss der Erfindung, wenn an einem Sockel der Lampe zwei oder mehr Kontaktstifte angeordnet sind und das Bedienelement im Bereich zwischen den Kontaktstiften angeordnet ist.It is advantageous according to the invention if two or more contact pins are arranged on a base of the lamp and the operating element is arranged in the region between the contact pins.

Befindet sich das Bedienelement in diesem Bereich, so ist es auch im ausgebauten Zustand der Lampe nur in erschwerter Weise zugänglich. Die nahe dem Bedienelement befindlichen Kontaktstifte schirmen das Bedienelement zumindest teilweise gegen eine versehentliche Betätigung ab.The operating element is located in this area, it is accessible only in the expanded state of the lamp in a difficult way. The located near the control pins protect the control at least partially against accidental operation.

Sind die Sockel der Lampe so ausgebildet, dass sie in herkömmliche für röhrenförmige Leuchtstofflampen ausgebildete Fassungen einsetzbar sind, so kann die erfindungsgemäße Verstellsicherung vorteilhafter Weise in einem weiten Bereich der Allgemeinbeleuchtung eingesetzt werden, da ein erheblicher Teil der heutigen Beleuchtung Fassungen für Leuchtstofflampen hat.If the sockets of the lamp are designed to be used in conventional sockets designed for tubular fluorescent lamps, then the adjustment fuse according to the invention can advantageously be used in a wide range of general lighting, since a considerable part of today's lighting has sockets for fluorescent lamps.

Bei einer sehr vorteilhaften Anordnung des Bedienelementes, schließt die Bedienaußenseite des im Sockel angeordneten Bedienelementes etwa bündig mit einer äußeren Oberfläche des Sockels ab. Der gleiche Vorteil ist gegeben, wenn eine Bedienaußenseite des in der Fassung angeordneten Bedienelementes etwa bündig mit einer äußeren Oberfläche der Fassung abschließt.In a very advantageous arrangement of the operating element, the operating outside of the arranged in the base control element includes approximately flush with an outer surface of the base. The same advantage is given when an operating outside of the arranged in the version control element terminates approximately flush with an outer surface of the socket.

Der bündige Abschluss bewirkt, dass das Bedienelement in ausgebautem Zustand der Lampe nur in erschwerter Weise zugänglich und verstellbar ist. Einer Verstellung des Bedienelementes durch beispielsweise Stoß oder ungewollten Kontakt wird dadurch in diesem Zustand der Lampe entgegengewirkt.The flush termination causes the control element in a dismantled state of the lamp only more difficult accessible and adjustable. An adjustment of the operating element by, for example, shock or unwanted contact is thereby counteracted in this state of the lamp.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungen des Bedienelementes sind beispielsweise ein Schalter oder ein Drehpotentiometer.Advantageous embodiments of the control element, for example, a switch or a rotary potentiometer.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit, die Verstellbarkeit des Bedienelementes in ausgebautem Zustand der Lampe zu kontrollieren ist, die Verstellung nur mit Hilfe von Werkzeugen oder anderen Hilfsmitteln zu ermöglichen.Another way to control the adjustability of the control element in the dismantled state of the lamp is to allow the adjustment only with the help of tools or other aids.

So können die Bedienelemente beispielhaft so gestaltet sein, dass sie nur durch die Nutzung von Schraubendrehern, Justierplättchen oder anderer Werkzeuge verstellbar sind.Thus, the controls can be designed by way of example so that they are adjustable only by the use of screwdrivers, Justierplättchen or other tools.

Bevorzugter Weise wird über das Bedienelement die Eigenschaft Lichtfarbe oder die Farbtemperatur oder der An- und/oder Ausschaltzeitpunkt der Lampe eingestellt.Preferably, the light color property or the color temperature or the on and / or off time of the lamp is set via the control element.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Verstellsicherung bietet sich für Lampenanordnungen an, die über eine Sensoranordnung verfügen, deren Ansprechverhalten über das Bedienelement eingestellt werden kann. Als Sensoren sind beispielhaft Bewegungsmelder oder Helligkeitssensoren denkbar.A particularly advantageous application of the adjustment according to the invention is suitable for lamp assemblies which have a sensor arrangement whose response can be adjusted via the operating element. As sensors motion detectors or brightness sensors are conceivable example.

So kann beispielhaft das Bedienelement, das die Helligkeitsschwelle eines Lichtstärkensensors für das Ein- oder Ausschalten der Lampe definiert, oder das die Leistungsreduzierung der Lampe in Abhängigkeit der vom Sensor detektierten Umgebungshelligkeit festlegt, in erfindungsgemäßer Weise verstellsicher ausgeführt sein. Ebenso können die Bedienelemente, die einen Bewegungsmelder aktivieren oder deaktivieren oder die dessen Erfassungsbereich definieren, auf genannte Weise gegen ein Verstellen geschützt sein.For example, the control element which defines the brightness threshold of a light intensity sensor for switching the lamp on or off, or which determines the power reduction of the lamp as a function of the ambient brightness detected by the sensor, can be configured so as to be adjustable in the manner according to the invention. Likewise the control elements which activate or deactivate a motion detector or which define its detection area are protected in the above-mentioned manner against an adjustment.

Bevorzugte Ausführung der ErfindungPreferred embodiment of the invention

Eine Lampenanordnung gemäß dem Stand der Technik weist eine Fernbedienungseinheit auf, mit der Eigenschaften Lichtfarbe, Farbtemperatur und Helligkeit der Lampe eingestellt werden können. Ein Beispiel für eine solche Anordnung ist das System Color e-Motion Tube RGB von OSRAM. Ein Modul dieses Systems besteht aus einem länglichen Gehäuse, in dem eine LED-Lichtleiste angeordnet ist. Die Eigenschaften der LED-Lichtleiste bzw. der LED-Lampe können über eine an einem festen Ort installierte "Wall-mount-Unit" oder über eine Infrarot-Fernbedienung eingestellt werden.A lamp arrangement according to the prior art has a remote control unit, with the properties of light color, color temperature and brightness of the lamp can be adjusted. An example of such an arrangement is the Color e-Motion Tube RGB system from OSRAM. A module of this system consists of an elongated housing in which an LED light bar is arranged. The properties of the LED light bar or the LED lamp can be set via a "wall mount unit" installed at a fixed location or via an infrared remote control.

Figur 1 zeigt in einer schematischen Längsschnittansicht eine erfindungsgemäße Lampenanordnung 1 gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel. Eine Lampe 2, bestehend aus einem Lampengefäß 4 und einem Sockel 6, ist durch zwei Kontaktstifte 8a, 8b in zwei Kontaktaufnahmen 10a, 10b einer Fassung 12 aufgenommen. Die beiden Kontaktstifte 8a, 8b in ihren Kontaktaufnahmen 10a, 10b dienen dabei sowohl der Befestigung der Lampe 2 in der Fassung 12 als auch der elektrischen Kontaktierung der Lampe 2 mit der Fassung 12. Im Sockel 6 der Lampe 2 befindet sich mittig zwischen den Kontaktstiften 8a, 8b ein Bedienelement, das als Schalter 14 ausgeführt ist und zum Einstellen einer Eigenschaft der Lampe 2 dient. In einem gezeigten bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch der Lampe 2, in dem sie in ihrer Fassung 12 eingesetzt ist, ist der Schalter 14 von außen für einen Bediener nicht zugänglich und daher nicht verstellbar. FIG. 1 shows a schematic longitudinal sectional view of a lamp assembly 1 according to the invention according to a first embodiment. A lamp 2, consisting of a lamp vessel 4 and a base 6, is received by two contact pins 8a, 8b in two contact receptacles 10a, 10b of a socket 12. The two contact pins 8a, 8b in their contact receptacles 10a, 10b serve both the attachment of the lamp 2 in the socket 12 and the electrical contacting of the lamp 2 with the socket 12. In the base 6 of the lamp 2 is located centrally between the contact pins 8a 8b, a control element, which is designed as a switch 14 and serves to set a property of the lamp 2. In a shown intended use of the lamp 2, in which it is used in its version 12, the switch 14 from the outside is not accessible to an operator and therefore not adjustable.

Eine Anwendung für einen solchen Schalter 14 ist beispielsweise, einen Bewegungsmelder, der die Lampe 2 in Abhängigkeit von detektierten Bewegungen in der Umgebung der Lampenanordnung 1 anschaltet, zu aktivieren oder zu deaktivieren. Der Schalter 14 ist in Figur 1 so positioniert, dass eine Bedienaußenseite 16 des Schalters 14 eine Oberfläche 18 des Sockels 6 etwas überragt.An application for such a switch 14 is, for example, to activate or deactivate a movement detector which switches on the lamp 2 in response to detected movements in the surroundings of the lamp arrangement 1. The switch 14 is in FIG. 1 positioned so that an operating outside 16 of the switch 14 projects slightly beyond a surface 18 of the base 6.

Figur 2 zeigt in einer schematischen Längsschnittansicht eine Lampenanordnung 1, in der der Schalter 14 alternativ zur Figur 1 nicht im Sockel 6 sondern in der Fassung 12 angeordnet ist. Der Schalter 14 ist in Figur 2 so positioniert, dass eine Bedienaußenseite 16 des Schalters 14 eine Oberfläche 19 der Fassung 12 etwas überragt. Figur 3 zeigt die Lampe 2 der Lampenanordnung 1 in einem nicht bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch bzw. außerhalb ihrer Fassung 12 angeordnet. Nur dieser Zustand der Lampenanordnung 1 bietet einem Bediener die Möglichkeit, eine Eigenschaft der Lampe 2 über den Schalter 14 zu verstellen. Die Anordnung des Schalters 14 zwischen den Kontaktstiften 8a, 8b verhindert in diesem ausgebauten Zustand der Lampe 2 ein versehentliches oder ungewolltes Verstellen des Schalters 14 durch den Bediener. Figur 4 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel des Sockels 6 der Lampe 2 in der Draufsicht mit einem Drehpotentiometer 414 als Bedienelement. Damit kann eine Eigenschaft der Lampe 2 auf einer Skala 422 zwischen 0% und 100% verstellt werden. Das Drehpotentiometer 414 ist dabei etwa mittig zwischen den Kontaktstiften 8a, 8b der Lampe 2 angeordnet und hat einen Schlitz 424, an dem der Bediener zum Verstellen des Drehpotentiometers 414 einen Schraubendreher oder ein Justierplättchen ansetzen kann. FIG. 2 shows in a schematic longitudinal sectional view of a lamp assembly 1, in which the switch 14 as an alternative to FIG. 1 not in the base 6 but in the version 12 is arranged. The switch 14 is in FIG. 2 positioned so that an operating outside 16 of the switch 14 projects slightly beyond a surface 19 of the holder 12. FIG. 3 shows the lamp 2 of the lamp assembly 1 in an improper use or arranged outside its socket 12. Only this state of the lamp assembly 1 offers an operator the ability to adjust a property of the lamp 2 via the switch 14. The arrangement of the switch 14 between the contact pins 8a, 8b prevented in this removed state of the lamp 2 accidental or accidental adjustment of the switch 14 by the operator. FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the base 6 of the lamp 2 in plan view with a rotary potentiometer 414 as a control element. Thus, a property of the lamp 2 can be adjusted on a scale 422 between 0% and 100%. The rotary potentiometer 414 is arranged approximately centrally between the contact pins 8a, 8b of the lamp 2 and has a slot 424, on which the operator for adjusting the rotary potentiometer 414 can attach a screwdriver or a Justierplättchen.

Anwendungen für das Drehpotentiometer 414 sind beispielsweise, eine Erfassungsreichweite oder einen Erfassungswinkel eines Sensors einer in die Lampe 2 integrierten Bewegungssensoranordnung stufenlos zwischen einem minimalen und einem maximalen Wert zu verstellen. Alternativ kann mit Hilfe des Drehpotentiometers 414 die Ansprechschwelle eines Helligkeitssensors eingestellt werden, die festlegt, ab welchem Helligkeitswert die Bewegungssensoranordnung aktiviert oder deaktiviert wird. Des Weiteren kann das Drehpotentiometer 414 dazu genutzt werden eine Nachlaufzeit einzustellen die definiert, wie lange die Lampe eingeschaltet bleibt, nachdem die letzte Bewegung in der Umgebung der Bewegungssensoranordnung detektiert wurde.Applications for the rotary potentiometer 414 include, for example, infinitely adjusting a detection range or a detection angle of a sensor of a motion sensor arrangement integrated into the lamp 2 between a minimum and a maximum value. Alternatively, with the aid of the rotary potentiometer 414, the response threshold of a brightness sensor can be set, which determines from which brightness value the motion sensor arrangement is activated or deactivated. Furthermore, the rotary potentiometer 414 can be used to set a follow-up time that defines how long the lamp stays on after the last movement in the vicinity of the motion sensor assembly has been detected.

Figur 5 zeigt ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel des Sockels 6 der Lampe 2 in der Draufsicht mit einem alternativ zu bedienenden Drehpotentiometer 514. Dessen Verstellung erfolgt mit Hilfe eines Werkzeuges, dass in einem Schlitz 524 angesetzt wird und entlang einer Kulisse 526 auf einer Kreisbahn um eine Drehachse 528 bewegt wird. Über einen Hebel 530 ergibt sich am hinter dem Sockel 6 liegenden Drehpotentiometer 514 dessen Einstellwert. Alternativ zu den dargestellten Drehpotentiometern 414, 514 und Schaltern 14 können weitere und / oder andere geeignete Bedienelemente am Sockel 6 angeordnet sein. FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the base 6 of the lamp 2 in plan view with an alternative to use rotary potentiometer 514. Its adjustment is carried out with the aid of a tool that is attached in a slot 524 and is moved along a slot 526 on a circular path about a rotation axis 528 , By means of a lever 530, the rotary potentiometer 514 located behind the base 6 results in its setting value. As an alternative to the illustrated rotary potentiometers 414, 514 and switches 14, further and / or other suitable operating elements can be arranged on the base 6.

Mit einem erhöhten apparativen Aufwand ist die gezeigte Positionierung von Bedienelementen im Bereich des Sockels 6 und der Fassung 12 auch bei Lampenanordnungen 1 mit Leuchtstofflampen einsetzbar.With an increased expenditure on equipment is the positioning of control elements shown in the area of the base 6 and the version 12 can also be used in lamp assemblies 1 with fluorescent lamps.

Es sind auch andere als die gezeigten Sockel-Fassungspaare denkbar, insbesondere Stecksockel wie beispielsweise G10 oder GX24, oder Bajonettsockel wie beispielsweise B22d.There are also conceivable other than the socket socket pairs shown, in particular plug-in base such as G10 or GX24, or bayonet socket such as B22d.
