Abstract
In one aspect, the present invention relates to an illumination system including a power source, a light source electrically coupled to the power source, and a light sensor electrically coupled to the power source and the light source. The light sensor activates the light source responsive to a pre-determined minimum-lumen threshold being reached. The illumination system is placed inside an interior of a dark area.
Claims20
An illumination system comprising:
- a power source;
- a light source electrically coupled to the power source;
- a light sensor electrically coupled to the power source and the light source;
- wherein the light sensor activates the light source responsive to ambient light being within a pre-defined operational range;
- and
- wherein the illumination system is placed into an interior of a dark area.
3 more elements
A method for providing illumination to an interior of a dark area, the method comprising:
- placing an illumination system into an interior of a dark area;
- determining if ambient illumination is within a pre-defined operational range;
- responsive to the ambient illumination being within the pre-defined operational range, activating a light source and deactivating the light source for a per-determined period of time;
- emitting light from the light source in an amount greater than the pre-determined operational range.
1 more element
An illumination system comprising:
- a power source;
- a light source electrically coupled to the power source;
- a first light sensor electrically coupled to the power source and the light source;
- a second light sensor electrically coupled to the power source and the light source, the second light sensor oriented differently from the first light sensor;
- wherein at least one of the first light sensor and the second light sensor activates the light source responsive to ambient light being within a pre-defined operational range;
- and
- wherein the illumination system is placed into an interior of a dark area.
