## Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical mobile event lamp. The object of the invention is to design a mobile electrical event lamp for hiring for events, such that same can be used alternatively for permanently wired and battery-powered operation. According to the invention, this is achieved by integrated rechargeable batteries for power supply and a connection for a wiring of the lamp provided for an alternative power supply, as well as a blocking function implemented in the electronic controller of the lamp for access to the integrated battery implemented in the electronic controller of the lamp, and a data connection for activating or deactivating the blocking function by means of an external data synchronization.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electrical mobile event lamp comprising:
an electronic controller, usable in lighting concepts for events,
a built-in rechargeable battery for supplying power to the electrical mobile event lamp, and
a wiring for connecting the electrical mobile event lamp to an alternative power supply,
wherein
the electronic controller is configured to perform a blocking function for an access to the built-in rechargeable battery,
the electronic controller is configured to activate or deactivate the blocking function via a data connection by an external device,
the electrical mobile event lamp is configured to operate under a battery-powered operation mode where the power is supplied from the built-in rechargeable battery and a wired operation mode where the power is supplied via the wiring of the electrical mobile event lamp,
the electronic controller is configured to switch from the battery-powered operation mode to the wired operation mode by activating the blocking function for the access to the built-in rechargeable battery, and
the activation or deactivation of the blocking function for the access to the built-in rechargeable battery in the electrical mobile event lamp is effected in response to a manual input of an activation code or a deactivation code.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electrical mobile event lamp as claimed in claim 1, wherein
there is an interface for intervention in relation to the electronic controller of the electrical mobile event lamp by the external device for data processing, and
the blocking function for the access to the built-in rechargeable battery is activatable or deactivatable in response to the manual input of the activation or the deactivation code by way of the interface of the external device for data processing.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The electrical mobile event lamp as claimed in claim 2, wherein
a smartphone, a tablet, a mobile device, or a stationary device is provided as the external device for data processing, and
the electronic controller is configured to communicate with the external device by way of wired or wireless data transmission or remote data transmission.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A method for the activation and deactivation of the blocking function for the access to the built-in rechargeable battery by the electrical mobile event lamp as claimed in claim 1, wherein
said blocking function is activated or deactivated by a data input or data transmission into the electronic controller,
the data input is effected directly at the electrical mobile event lamp or by way of the external device for data processing which is connected to the electrical mobile event lamp via an interface, and
the data transmission is effected in a wired or wireless manner or as remote data transmission.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein
the activation and deactivation of the blocking function for rechargeable battery operation is stored in a database on the external device for a specific electrical mobile event lamp,
a presently authorized operating state of the specific electrical mobile event lamp is defined in said database,
the activation or deactivation of the blocking function in the electronic controller of the electrical mobile event lamp is effected by way of accessing and reconciling the presently authorized operating state of the specific electrical mobile event lamp stored in the database, and
by wired or wireless data transmission or remote data transmission, the electrical mobile event lamp directly accesses the presently authorized operating state stored for the specific electrical mobile event lamp in the database to cause the activation or deactivation of the blocking function for the access to the built-in rechargeable battery.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein
the activation and deactivation of the blocking function for rechargeable battery operation is stored in a database on the external device for a specific electrical mobile event lamp,
a presently authorized operating state of the specific electrical mobile event lamp is defined in said database,
the activation or deactivation of the blocking function in the electronic controller of the electrical mobile event lamp is effected by way of accessing and reconciling the presently authorized operating state of the specific electrical mobile event lamp stored in the database, and
wherein, by wired or wireless data transmission or remote data transmission, the external device for data processing connected to the electronic controller of the electrical mobile event lamp accesses the presently authorized operating state stored for the specific electrical mobile event lamp in the database and transmits said presently authorized operating state by the wired or wireless data transmission into the electronic controller of the electrical mobile event lamp to cause the activation or deactivation of the blocking function for the access to the built-in rechargeable battery.

### Claim 7

An electrical mobile event lamp comprising:
an electronic controller, usable in lighting concepts for events,
a built-in rechargeable battery for supplying power to the electrical mobile event lamp, and
a wiring for connecting the electrical mobile event lamp to an alternative power supply,
wherein
the electronic controller is configured to perform a blocking function for an access to the built-in rechargeable battery,
the electronic controller is configured to activate or deactivate the blocking function via a data connection by an external device,
the electrical mobile event lamp is configured to operate under a battery-powered operation mode where the power is supplied from the built-in rechargeable battery and a wired operation mode where the power is supplied via the wiring of the electrical mobile event lamp,
the electronic controller is configured to switch from the battery-powered operation mode to the wired operation mode by activating the blocking function for the access to the built-in rechargeable battery,
there is a database on the external device at least for the activation or deactivation of the blocking function in the electrical mobile event lamp,
a presently authorized operating state of a specific electrical mobile event lamp is defined in the database, and
the activation or deactivation of the blocking function in the electronic controller of the electrical mobile event lamp is effected by way of accessing and reconciling the presently authorized operating state of the specific electrical mobile event lamp stored in the database.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The electrical mobile event lamp as claimed in claim 7, wherein
the electrical mobile event lamp has technical components for wired or wireless data transmission or remote data transmission, and
the technical components are configured to directly access the presently authorized operating state stored for the specific electrical mobile event lamp in the database to cause the activation or deactivation of the blocking function for the access to the built-in rechargeable battery.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The electrical mobile event lamp as claimed in claim 7, wherein
the external device for data processing is configured to be connected to the electronic controller of the electrical mobile event lamp and has technical components for wired or wireless data transmission or remote data transmission, and
the external device is configured to access the presently authorized operating state stored for the specific electrical mobile event lamp in the database and transmit the presently authorized operating state to the electronic controller of the electrical mobile event lamp to cause the activation or deactivation of the blocking function for the access to the built-in rechargeable battery.
