Definitions

  • Remote control light source using a lightning flame and a control system of this source or sources
  • the invention concerns light sources based on lightning or luminous flame where a technical modification for switching such a source remotely is used.
  • the invention also concerns the system for controlling the said light source or sources, mainly in the installations where a larger number of light sources based on luminous flame are switched on.
  • the control can be designed as switch on, switch off, or the control of the light intensity.
  • Various light sources are known today where the source of the light is luminous flame. These sources are used in some instances for lighting in places where electricity from the mains is not available but mainly these sources are used for decorating purposes.
  • the known sources are, for example, torches, traditional wax or paraffin candles, petrol, kerosene, oil and gas lamps. As for torches, they are currently used rather in the form of a certain imitation of a torch, with design based on an oil or kerosene burner mounted on a bamboo pole.
  • the mode of use is usually such that illumination of a garden, terrace, restaurant, garden reception or a party is started prior to the operation of such equipment or prior to the event, and during the event or operation the illumination is usually not handled.
  • these light sources are more frequently used in cabins or campgrounds without network power supply, but are practically not used in households or restaurants.
  • the reason for the said limited use is that in petrol lamps the handling is more complicated and there is a greater risk of accident.
  • An unpleasant problem in kerosene lamps may be the kerosene odor, which is spread at least during replenishing, lighting and after extinguishing.
  • Small gas lamps are relatively safe and comfortable during handling and operation but their light is usually produced not by the luminous flame directly but by radiation emitted by the white- glowing mantle.
  • conventional candles, oil lamps, often with an aromatic oil, or gas lamps but certainly gas lamps with design based on the principle of light being acquired by the burning of a luminous flame.
  • the ignition method is as follows: the gas supply valve is opened centrally and the light sources are subsequently ignited manually, for example by torches, which is quite impressive but, on the other hand, it is demanding and to a certain extent also dangerous because for a certain time, from the moment the gas supply is open until ignition, the gas is freely leaking.
  • the light source is an electric lamp with an external power supply the turning-on is provided by inclusion of switches in the power-supply line, and it is also possible to use central switching on/off, either from a certain manager's post, or automatically, by a program. If, for example, it is necessary to turn on lights based on luminous flame, the currently known way of turning the lights on is ignition by matches or a lighter, for example performed by the waiters when the lights are installed in a restaurant, or by a special service.

  • These control systems known as such cannot be used without further modification for switching-on of decorative and similar lights based on luminous flame, especially where, in some cases, there is a requirement for its production also in the form of small portable candles or candleholders, or, in other cases, as chandeliers, also with multiple individual light sources, or even a requirement for separate switching-on, regulation and switching-off of such light sources.
