Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'éclairage amovible.The present invention relates to a removable lighting device.

La présente invention concerne également un ensemble de tels dispositifs et une installation d'éclairage correspondante.The present invention also relates to a set of such devices and a corresponding lighting installation.

Le dispositif d'éclairage selon l'invention est notamment utilisable pour un éclairage intérieur, par exemple d'une pièce telle qu'une chambre à coucher ou un salon, et peut être facilement déplacé entre différents points d'éclairage disposés dans une même pièce ou dans des pièces différentes. Le dispositif d'éclairage selon l'invention est également utilisable à l'extérieur.The lighting device according to the invention can be used in particular for interior lighting, for example of a room such as a bedroom or a living room, and can be easily moved between different lighting points arranged in the same room. or in different rooms. The lighting device according to the invention can also be used outdoors.

On connait dans l'état de la technique de très nombreux exemples de dispositifs d'éclairage utilisables pour l'éclairage intérieur.Very many examples of lighting devices that can be used for interior lighting are known in the state of the art.

De manière générale, ces dispositifs d'éclairage sont disposés de manière fixe comme par exemple une applique ou un plafonnier, ou de manière déplaçable comme par exemple un lampadaire.In general, these lighting devices are arranged in a fixed manner such as for example a wall lamp or a ceiling lamp, or in a movable manner such as for example a floor lamp.

Toutefois, les dispositifs d'éclairage existants ne sont pas complètement satisfaisants.However, the existing lighting devices are not completely satisfactory.

Notamment, lorsqu'il s'agit d'un dispositif d'éclairage déplaçable, son alimentation s'effectue soit via un réseau électrique soit via une batterie jointe alors à ce dispositif.In particular, in the case of a movable lighting device, it is powered either via an electrical network or via a battery then attached to this device.

Dans le premier cas, pour déplacer un tel dispositif, il est nécessaire de le débrancher d'abord du réseau électrique, puis le brancher à nouveau. Ceci n'est toujours commode car implique le déplacement du dispositif avec un câble associé, changement de prises de courant, etc. De plus, la présence des câbles dégrade généralement l'aspect esthétique du dispositif d'éclairage.In the first case, to move such a device, it is necessary to first disconnect it from the electrical network, and then connect it again. This is always inconvenient because it involves moving the device with an associated cable, changing sockets, etc. In addition, the presence of the cables generally degrades the aesthetic appearance of the lighting device.

Dans le deuxième cas, c'est-à-dire lorsque le dispositif d'éclairage est alimenté par une batterie, la recharge d'un tel dispositif impose également sa connexion via un câble ce qui n'est pas toujours commode. De plus, comme dans le cas précédent, cela dégrade également l'aspect esthétique du dispositif d'éclairage. Les documents FR 3 044 742 A1 , CN 203 099 586 U , US 2017/261163 A1 , US 2014/126187 A1 et US 2015/354788 A1 sont considérés comme état de la technique pertinent pour la présente invention.In the second case, that is to say when the lighting device is powered by a battery, recharging such a device also requires its connection via a cable, which is not always convenient. Moreover, as in the previous case, this also degrades the aesthetic appearance of the lighting device. The documents FR 3 044 742 A1 , CN 203 099 586 U , US 2017/261163 A1 , US 2014/126187 A1 And US 2015/354788 A1 are considered prior art relevant to the present invention.

These characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following description, given solely by way of non-limiting example, and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • [ Fig 1 ] there figure 1 is a perspective view of a lighting installation according to the invention, the installation comprising a lighting device and an external support;

  • [ Fig.5 ] there figure 5 is a schematic view of a set of lighting devices according to the invention, each of the lighting devices conforming to that of the figure 1 .

On a en effet représenté sur la figure 1 une installation d'éclairage 1 selon l'invention.We have indeed represented on the figure 1 a lighting installation 1 according to the invention.

Cette installation comprend un support extérieur 10 et un dispositif d'éclairage 20 amovible par rapport à ce support 10.This installation comprises an external support 10 and a lighting device 20 removable with respect to this support 10.

Le support 10 est destiné à être disposé dans un point d'accrochage par exemple d'une pièce à l'intérieur d'un logement ou de tout autre bâtiment.The support 10 is intended to be placed in an attachment point, for example of a room inside a dwelling or any other building.

Dans l'exemple décrit ci-dessous, le support extérieur 10 est destiné à être fixé sur un mur. Selon autre exemple de réalisation, le support extérieur 10 est destiné à être fixé au plafond ou sur tout autre support adapté.In the example described below, the external support 10 is intended to be fixed to a wall. According to another exemplary embodiment, the external support 10 is intended to be fixed to the ceiling or to any other suitable support.

Le support 10 est visible plus en détail sur la figure 2.The support 10 is visible in more detail on the figure 2 .

Ainsi, en référence à cette figure 2, le support extérieur 10 comprend un moyen de fixation 11, une demi-coque 12 montée sur le moyen de fixation 11, une cale 13 disposée dans la demi-coque 12, un aimant 14, des contacts 15 et un support de contacts 16 monté également sur le moyen de fixation 11 à travers la demi-coque 12.So, with reference to this figure 2 , the outer support 10 comprises a fixing means 11, a half-shell 12 mounted on the fixing means 11, a wedge 13 arranged in the half-shell 12, a magnet 14, contacts 15 and a contact support 16 mounted also on the fixing means 11 through the half-shell 12.

Le moyen de fixation présente 11 présente par exemple un bras de fixation murale connu en soi. Ainsi, ce moyen 11 définit par exemple deux orifices de fixation à travers lesquels ce moyen 11 peut être fixé au mur à l'aide par exemple d'une parie de vis.The present fixing means 11 presents for example a wall fixing arm known per se. Thus, this means 11 defines, for example, two fixing holes through which this means 11 can be fixed to the wall using, for example, a pair of screws.

Avantageusement, selon l'invention, le moyen de fixation 11 définit en outre, par exemple dans sa partie centrale, un orifice de passage d'un câble électrique (non-représenté sur la figure 2). Ce câble est destiné à être connecté d'une part à un réseau électrique via par exemple un transformateur adapté et d'autre part, au support de contacts 16. Du côté du support 16, le câble définit au moins deux bornes, par exemple une borne positive et une borne négative.Advantageously, according to the invention, the fixing means 11 further defines, for example in its central part, an orifice for passing an electric cable (not shown on the figure 2 ). This cable is intended to be connected on the one hand to an electrical network via for example a suitable transformer and on the other hand, to the contact support 16. On the side of the support 16, the cable defines at least two terminals, for example a positive terminal and a negative terminal.

La demi-coque 12 présente une forme générale ovale bombée vers le moyen de fixation 11. Ainsi, cette demi-coque 12 présente par exemple une première surface 17 orientée vers le mur lorsque la demi-coque 12 est montée sur le moyen de fixation 11 et une deuxième surface 18 opposée à la première surface 17.The half-shell 12 has a general oval shape curved towards the fixing means 11. Thus, this half-shell 12 has for example a first surface 17 oriented towards the wall when the half-shell 12 is mounted on the fixing means 11 and a second surface 18 opposite the first surface 17.

La demi-coque 12 définit en outre dans sa partie centrale un orifice de passage du support de contact 16.The half-shell 12 further defines in its central part an orifice for the passage of the contact support 16.

La cale 13 est faite par exemple d'un matériau flexible tel que le silicone et définit une forme analogue à celle de la deuxième surface 18. Cette cale 13 délimite donc également un orifice de passage analogue à celui de la demi-coque 12.The wedge 13 is made for example of a flexible material such as silicone and defines a shape similar to that of the second surface 18. This wedge 13 therefore also delimits a passage orifice similar to that of the half-shell 12.

L'aimant 14 présente une forme d'anneau. Il est reçu par exemple dans l'orifice de passage défini par la demi-coque 12 et est fixé de manière rigide à cette demi-coque 12 ou au moyen de fixation 11.The magnet 14 has a ring shape. It is received, for example, in the passage orifice defined by the half-shell 12 and is fixed rigidly to this half-shell 12 or to the fixing means 11.

Les contacts 15 sont disposés sur le support de contacts 16. En particulier, chaque contact est raccordé à une borne correspondante du câble électrique.The contacts 15 are arranged on the contact support 16. In particular, each contact is connected to a corresponding terminal of the electric cable.

L'un des contacts 15 présente par exemple une forme d'anneau et un autre présente une forme de disque reçu au centre de cette anneau, sans être en contact avec ce premier.One of the contacts 15 has for example the shape of a ring and another has the shape of a disc received in the center of this ring, without being in contact with this first.

Le dispositif d'éclairage 20 est visible plus en détail sur la figure 3.The lighting device 20 is visible in more detail on the picture 3 .

Ainsi, comme cela ressort de cette figure 3, le dispositif d'éclairage 20 comprend une bande de support 21, une bande lumineuse 22 disposée sur cette bande de support 21, un module électronique 23 présentant un boitier, une paire de réflecteurs 30A, 30B enfermant le module électronique 23, une paire de diffuseurs 31A, 31B fixés sur la bande de support 21 et une paire de demi-coques 32A, 32B fixées l'une sur l'autre afin d'enfermer les éléments précités et former un corps du dispositif 20.So, as is apparent from this picture 3 , the lighting device 20 comprises a support strip 21, a light strip 22 arranged on this support strip 21, an electronic module 23 having a case, a pair of reflectors 30A, 30B enclosing the electronic module 23, a pair of diffusers 31A, 31B fixed on the support strip 21 and a pair of half-shells 32A, 32B fixed one on the other in order to enclose the aforementioned elements and form a body of the device 20.

Le dispositif d'éclairage 20 comprend en outre un moyen de fixation 40 permettant de le fixer de manière amovible au support extérieur 10.The lighting device 20 further comprises a fixing means 40 allowing it to be fixed in a removable manner to the external support 10.

La bande de support 21 s'étend suivant un contour fermé par exemple de forme ovale et définit une surface latérale intérieure 44 orientée à l'intérieur de ce contour, une surface latérale extérieure 45 orientée à l'extérieur du contour et deux surfaces de fixation 50A, 50B. Ces surfaces sont visibles sur la figure 4 sur laquelle il est clair que les surfaces latérales intérieure 44 et extérieure 45 s'étendent entre les surfaces de fixation 50A, 50B.The support strip 21 extends along a closed contour, for example of oval shape, and defines an inner lateral surface 44 oriented inside this contour, an outer lateral surface 45 oriented outside the contour and two fixing surfaces 50A, 50B. These surfaces are visible on the figure 4 wherein it is clear that inner 44 and outer 45 side surfaces extend between attachment surfaces 50A, 50B.

La bande de support 21 est faite par exemple d'un matériau métallique et permet ainsi d'absorber et de diffuser la chaleur produite par la bande lumineuse 22.The support strip 21 is made for example of a metallic material and thus makes it possible to absorb and diffuse the heat produced by the light strip 22.

La bande lumineuse 22 est disposée sur la surface latérale intérieure 44 de la bande de support 21 et comporte une pluralité de sources lumineuses orientées à l'intérieur du contour fermé et disposées par exemple de manière homogène le long de la bande lumineuse 22.The light strip 22 is arranged on the inner side surface 44 of the support strip 21 and comprises a plurality of light sources oriented inside the closed contour and arranged for example in a homogeneous manner along the light strip 22.

Ces sources lumineuses sont raccordées électriquement au module électronique 23 et sont aptes à émettre de la lumière d'une couleur prédéterminée ou d'une couleur variable.These light sources are electrically connected to the electronic module 23 and are capable of emitting light of a predetermined color or of a variable color.

Les réflecteurs 30A, 30B sont disposés dans le contour fermé défini par la bande de support 21 et sont configurés pour refléter de la lumière provenant de la bande lumineuse 22 vers les demi-coques 32A, 32B.The reflectors 30A, 30B are arranged in the closed contour defined by the support strip 21 and are configured to reflect light coming from the luminous strip 22 towards the half-shells 32A, 32B.

Comme cela est visible sur la figure 3, ces réflecteurs 30A, 30B ont par exemple également la forme de demi-coques mais présentent des dimensions inférieures à celles des demi-coques 32A, 32B.As can be seen on the picture 3 , these reflectors 30A, 30B also have for example the shape of half-shells but have dimensions smaller than those of the half-shells 32A, 32B.

Par ailleurs, les réflecteurs 30A, 30B définissent entre eux un espace de réception du module électronique 23.Furthermore, the reflectors 30A, 30B define between them a space for receiving the electronic module 23.

Pour fixer ce module électronique 23 dans cet espace, l'un des réflecteurs 30A, 30B, par exemple le réflecteur 30B, définit un logement 55 de forme complémentaire à celle du module.To fix this electronic module 23 in this space, one of the reflectors 30A, 30B, for example the reflector 30B, defines a housing 55 of complementary shape to that of the module.

Par ailleurs, le module électronique 23 est fixé dans ce logement 55 au moyen par exemple des vis traversant le réflecteur 30B, le diffuseur 31B et la demi-coque 32B.Furthermore, the electronic module 23 is fixed in this housing 55 by means, for example, of screws passing through the reflector 30B, the diffuser 31B and the half-shell 32B.

Les diffuseurs 31A, 31B sont disposés de part et d'autre de la bande de support 21 et sont par exemple fixés sur les surface de fixation 50A, 50B de celle-ci.The diffusers 31A, 31B are arranged on either side of the support strip 21 and are for example fixed to the fixing surface 50A, 50B thereof.

Les diffuseurs 31A, 31B présentent également une forme de demi-coques de dimensions inférieures à celles des demi-coques 32A, 32B.The diffusers 31A, 31B also have the shape of half-shells with dimensions smaller than those of the half-shells 32A, 32B.

Ces diffuseurs 31A, 31B se trouvent donc interposés entre les demi-coques 32A, 32B et les réflecteurs 30A, 30B.These diffusers 31A, 31B are therefore interposed between the half-shells 32A, 32B and the reflectors 30A, 30B.

Par ailleurs, ces diffuseurs 31A, 31B sont par exemple opaques et permettent de diffuser la lumière provenant des réflecteurs 30A, 30B et de la bande lumineuse 22 de manière homogène.Furthermore, these diffusers 31A, 31B are for example opaque and make it possible to diffuse the light originating from the reflectors 30A, 30B and from the light strip 22 in a homogeneous manner.

Les demi-coques 32A, 32B permettent de renfermer l'ensemble de la structure pour former un corps du dispositif 20. Ces demi-coques définissent donc la forme extérieure du dispositif 20 qui présente alors une forme aplatie.The half-shells 32A, 32B make it possible to enclose the entire structure to form a body of the device 20. These half-shells therefore define the external shape of the device 20 which then has a flattened shape.

Ces demi-coques 32A. 32B sont par exemple transparentes et sont faites en tout matériau convenable par exemple pour donner l'aspect esthétique extérieur et/ou la rigidité souhaité(e)(s).These half-shells 32A. 32B are for example transparent and are made of any suitable material, for example to give the external aesthetic appearance and/or the desired rigidity.

Le moyen de fixation 40 présente par exemple une forme d'anneau métallique apte à coopérer avec l'aimant 14 du support extérieur 10 pour fixer le dispositif 20 à ce support 10.The fixing means 40 has for example the shape of a metal ring capable of cooperating with the magnet 14 of the external support 10 to fix the device 20 to this support 10.

Ainsi, le moyen de fixation 40 est fixé par exemple sur une surface extérieure 57 de la demi-coque 32B au centre de celle-ci en utilisant par exemple les mêmes vis que celles utilisées pour fixer le boitier du module électronique 23 dans le logement 55.Thus, the fixing means 40 is fixed for example on an outer surface 57 of the half-shell 32B in the center of the latter by using for example the same screws as those used to fix the case of the electronic module 23 in the housing 55 .

Enfin, le moyen de fixation 40 présente des propriétés magnétiques nécessaires pour supporter le poids du dispositif 20, par coopération avec l'aimant 14.Finally, the fixing means 40 has the magnetic properties necessary to support the weight of the device 20, by cooperating with the magnet 14.

Le module électronique 23 est raccordé électriquement aux contacts 15 du support extérieur 10 via des contacts de recharge 60 formés par des plots.The electronic module 23 is electrically connected to the contacts 15 of the external support 10 via charging contacts 60 formed by pads.

Ces contacts de recharge 60 font saillie par rapport à la surface extérieure 57 de demi-coque 32B par exemple au centre de l'anneau défini par le moyen de fixation 40. Ces contacts de recharge 60 sont ainsi aptes à coopérer avec les contacts 15These recharging contacts 60 protrude with respect to the outer surface 57 of half-shell 32B, for example at the center of the ring defined by the fixing means 40. These recharging contacts 60 are thus capable of cooperating with the contacts 15

Par ailleurs, pour raccorder le module électronique 23, les contacts de recharge 60 s'étendent à travers le réflecteur 30B, le diffuseur 31B et la demi-coque 32B, tout comme les vis de fixation du moyen 40.Furthermore, to connect the electronic module 23, the recharging contacts 60 extend through the reflector 30B, the diffuser 31B and the half-shell 32B, just like the fixing screws of the means 40.

Le module électronique 23 comprend une batterie 62, un régulateur d'intensité 63, un accéléromètre 64 et un émetteur-récepteur d'ondes radioélectriques 65.The electronic module 23 includes a battery 62, an intensity regulator 63, an accelerometer 64 and a radio wave transmitter-receiver 65.

La batterie 62 est connue en soi. Elle présente une capacité nécessaire pour alimenter la bande lumineuse 22 lorsque que le dispositif 20 n'est pas fixé sur le support extérieur 10 et pour être chargé et alimenter directement la bande lumineuse 22 lorsque le dispositif 20 est fixé sur la support 10.Battery 62 is known per se. It has a capacity necessary to power the light strip 22 when the device 20 is not fixed on the external support 10 and to be charged and directly power the light strip 22 when the device 20 is fixed on the support 10.

Le régulateur d'intensité 63 est apte à contrôler l'intensité de la lumière de la bande lumineuse 22 en contrôlant l'alimentation de cette bande 22 par la batterie 62.The intensity regulator 63 is able to control the intensity of the light from the luminous strip 22 by controlling the supply of this strip 22 by the battery 62.

L'accéléromètre 64 est apte à détecter chaque modification de l'orientation du dispositif 20 dans l'espace et à générer une donnée d'orientation correspondant à cette modification.The accelerometer 64 is capable of detecting each modification of the orientation of the device 20 in space and of generating an orientation datum corresponding to this modification.

En particulier, l'accéléromètre 64 est apte à générer une donnée d'orientation comprenant l'angle de rotation du dispositif 20 autour d'un premier axe X1 et autour d'un deuxième axe X2 perpendiculaire par exemple à ce premier axe. Les deux axes sont visibles sur la figure 4.In particular, the accelerometer 64 is able to generate orientation data comprising the angle of rotation of the device 20 around a first axis X1 and around a second axis X2 perpendicular for example to this first axis. Both axes are visible on the figure 4 .

Avantageusement, selon l'invention, le régulateur d'intensité 63 est apte en outre à recevoir chaque donnée d'orientation générée par l'accéléromètre 64 et en fonction de cette donnée, à contrôler l'intensité de la lumière de la bande lumineuse 22.Advantageously, according to the invention, the intensity regulator 63 is also able to receive each orientation datum generated by the accelerometer 64 and, depending on this datum, to control the intensity of the light of the luminous strip 22 .

Par exemple, selon un exemple de réalisation, le régulateur d'intensité 63 est apte à modifier l'intensité de la lumière de la bande lumineuse 22 proportionnellement à l'angle de rotation uniquement autour du premier axe X1, cet angle de rotation étant compris dans la donnée d'orientation générée par l'accéléromètre 64.For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, the intensity regulator 63 is capable of modifying the intensity of the light of the luminous strip 22 in proportion to the angle of rotation only around the first axis X1, this angle of rotation being included in the orientation datum generated by the accelerometer 64.

La modification de l'intensité peut par exemple s'étendre à partir d'une valeur initiale lorsqu'aucun courant n'est transmis de la batterie 23 à la bande lumineuse et une valeur finale lorsque tout le courant provenant de la batterie 23 est transmis à la bande lumineuse. Ces valeurs correspondent donc respectivement à un état « éteint » de la bande et un état « puissance maximale ».The modification of the intensity can for example extend from an initial value when no current is transmitted from the battery 23 to the light strip and a final value when all the current coming from the battery 23 is transmitted. to the light strip. These values therefore correspond respectively to an “off” state of the band and a “maximum power” state.

Pour ce faire, le régulateur d'intensité 63 comprend par exemple un transistor de type MOSFET.To do this, the intensity regulator 63 comprises for example a MOSFET type transistor.

L'émetteur-récepteur d'ondes radioélectriques 65 est apte à communiquer avec d'autres émetteurs-récepteurs analogues se trouvant à proximité en transmettant et en recevant des ondes radioélectriques.The radio wave transceiver 65 is able to communicate with other similar transceivers in the vicinity by transmitting and receiving radio waves.

En particulier, l'émetteur-récepteur d'ondes radioélectriques 65 est apte à transmettre des données d'orientation générées par l'accéléromètre 64 à au moins un autre dispositif d'éclairage analogue audit dispositif d'éclairage pour modifier l'intensité de la lumière de cet autre dispositif d'éclairage.In particular, the radioelectric wave transceiver 65 is capable of transmitting orientation data generated by the accelerometer 64 to at least one other lighting device similar to said lighting device to modify the intensity of the light from this other lighting device.

L'émetteur-récepteur d'ondes radioélectriques 65 est également apte à recevoir des données d'orientation générées par un accéléromètre d'au moins un autre dispositif d'éclairage.The radioelectric wave transceiver 65 is also capable of receiving orientation data generated by an accelerometer of at least one other lighting device.

Dans un tel cas, le régulateur d'intensité 63 est apte à modifier l'intensité de la lumière de la bande lumineuse 22 proportionnellement à l'angle de rotation uniquement autour du deuxième axe X1 d'un autre dispositif, cet angle de rotation étant alors compris dans la donnée d'orientation générée par l'accéléromètre de cet autre dispositif.In such a case, the intensity regulator 63 is capable of modifying the intensity of the light of the light strip 22 in proportion to the angle of rotation only around the second axis X1 of another device, this angle of rotation being then included in the orientation datum generated by the accelerometer of this other device.

Selon un exemple de réalisation, le régulateur d'intensité 63 et l'émetteur-récepteur d'ondes radioélectriques 65 forment une composante unique de type « WiFi microcontroller ».According to an exemplary embodiment, the intensity regulator 63 and the radioelectric wave transceiver 65 form a single component of the “WiFi microcontroller” type.

Un ensemble 80 de dispositifs d'éclairage selon l'invention sera désormais expliqué en référence à la figure 5.A set 80 of lighting devices according to the invention will now be explained with reference to the figure 5 .

En effet, comme cela est visible sur cette figure 5, l'ensemble 80 comprend par exemple quatre dispositifs d'éclairage 81 à 84, chacun de ces dispositifs étant analogue au dispositif d'éclairage 20 expliqué précédemment.Indeed, as can be seen in this figure 5 , the assembly 80 comprises for example four lighting devices 81 to 84, each of these devices being similar to the lighting device 20 explained previously.

En particulier, ces dispositifs d'éclairage 81 à 84 sont montés sur des supports extérieurs correspondants et sont donc alimentés par le réseau électrique. En variante, au moins un de ces dispositifs 81 à 84 est enlevé de son support extérieur et est donc alimenté par sa batterie.In particular, these lighting devices 81 to 84 are mounted on corresponding external supports and are therefore powered by the electrical network. As a variant, at least one of these devices 81 to 84 is removed from its external support and is therefore powered by its battery.

Les émetteurs-récepteurs de ces dispositifs 81 à 84 forment un réseau informatique apte à transmettre notamment des données d'orientation générées par les accéléromètres de ces dispositifs.The transceivers of these devices 81 to 84 form a computer network capable of transmitting in particular orientation data generated by the accelerometers of these devices.

Avantageusement, ce réseau est décentralisé dans la mesure où aucun serveur n'est nécessaire pour mettre en oeuvre son fonctionnement. Dans un tel cas, l'identification des dispositifs s'effectue par exemple de manière automatique lorsqu'un dispositif donné est entré dans la zone de couverture créer par les autres dispositifs.Advantageously, this network is decentralized insofar as no server is necessary to implement its operation. In such a case, the identification of the devices is carried out for example automatically when a given device has entered the coverage zone created by the other devices.

Bien entendu, d'autres modes d'identification sont également envisageables.Of course, other modes of identification are also possible.

Comme cela a été décrit précédemment, selon un exemple de réalisation, pour modifier l'intensité de lumière de l'un des dispositifs 81 à 84 pris isolément, il suffit de le tourner autour du premier axe X1.As described previously, according to an exemplary embodiment, to modify the light intensity of one of the devices 81 to 84 taken in isolation, it suffices to turn it around the first axis X1.

Ainsi, dans l'exemple de la figure 5, une rotation du dispositif 83 autour de son premier axe X1 conduit à la modification correspondante de l'intensité de sa lumière.So, in the example of the figure 5 , a rotation of the device 83 around its first axis X1 leads to the corresponding modification of the intensity of its light.

Selon l'invention, il est également possible de régler l'intensité de tous les autres dispositifs de l'ensemble 80 à partir de l'un de ces dispositifs.According to the invention, it is also possible to adjust the intensity of all the other devices of the set 80 from one of these devices.

Ainsi, dans l'exemple de la figure 5, il suffit de tourner le dispositif 83 autour de son deuxième axe X2 pour modifier l'intensité de la lumière des dispositifs 81, 82 et 84.So, in the example of the figure 5 , it suffices to turn the device 83 around its second axis X2 to modify the intensity of the light of the devices 81, 82 and 84.

On conçoit alors que la présente invention présente un certain nombre d'avantages.It can then be seen that the present invention has a certain number of advantages.

Tout d'abord, le dispositif selon l'invention peut fonctionner dans une position accrochée (par exemple au mur) et dans une position décrochée. Il est ainsi facilement amovible de son support ce qui permet de l'utiliser dans les deux positions.First of all, the device according to the invention can operate in a hooked position (for example on the wall) and in a hooked position. It is thus easily removable from its support, which allows it to be used in both positions.

Dans les deux positions le dispositif est pleinement utilisable. La recharge de sa batterie s'effectue de manière particulièrement simple, sans besoin de manipuler avec des câbles ou des prises de courant. Ces câbles ne sont même pas visibles ce qui crée un aspect esthétique particulier.In both positions the device is fully usable. The recharging of its battery is carried out in a particularly simple way, without the need to handle with cables or sockets. These cables are not even visible which creates a particular aesthetic aspect.

De plus, il est clair que dans le cas d'une pluralité de dispositifs, ces dispositifs sont interchangeables entre leur support ce qui permet par exemple à l'utilisateur de se déplacer librement dans son domicile avec un dispositif et puis, de l'accrocher au premier support disponible. On peut parler dans ce cas d'une lumière « portable » qui peut être portée et rechargée facilement par l'utilisateur.In addition, it is clear that in the case of a plurality of devices, these devices are interchangeable between their support which allows for example the user to move freely in his home with a device and then to hang it to the first available medium. We can speak in this case of a “portable” light which can be carried and recharged easily by the user.

Finalement, le dispositif selon l'invention présente un dispositif connecté ce qui lui permet de contrôler facilement les autres dispositifs connectés ou d'être contrôlé par l'un de ces dispositifs. Ainsi, il est possible de contrôler toute la luminosité par exemple du domicile de l'utilisateur de manière particulièrement simple.Finally, the device according to the invention has a connected device which allows it to easily control the other connected devices or to be controlled by one of these devices. Thus, it is possible to control all the brightness for example of the user's home in a particularly simple way.

On conçoit alors que le dispositif réunit en soi une multitude de fonctionnalités lié à l'éclairage par exemple du domicile de l'utilisateur. Il s'agit donc d'un dispositif de type « tout en un ».It is then conceivable that the device brings together in itself a multitude of functionalities linked to the lighting, for example, of the user's home. It is therefore an “all-in-one” type device.
