Estimating the term…
A combined lighting and speaker device having a central longitudinal axis defining a forward and a rearward direction and a radially outward and a radially inward direction is provided. The device comprises a tweeter; a tweeter horn positioned radially outwardly of the tweeter; a speaker positioned rearward of the tweeter horn; and a light emitting diode, LED, assembly positioned radially outwardly of the tweeter. The LED assembly comprises one or more light emitting diodes, LEDs, and a lens having a forward surface. The tweeter horn has an inner edge in communication with an outer edge of the tweeter, so that the tweeter horn forms a guide to direct sound produced by the tweeter away from the speaker when in use. At least part of the tweeter horn is provided by the forward surface of the lens.
A combined lighting and speaker device having a central longitudinal axis defining a forward and a rearward direction and a radially outward and a radially inward direction, the device comprising:
The device of any preceding claim, wherein the one or more LEDs are mounted rearward of the lens so that light is emitted by each of the LEDs in a generally forward direction towards the lens when in use.
The device of any preceding claim, wherein the LED assembly further comprises a reflector configured to reflect light from the LEDs towards the lens when in use.
The device of any preceding claim, wherein the lens is an annular lens.
The device of any preceding claim, wherein an inner edge of the forward surface of the lens is in communication with the outer edge of the tweeter.
The device of any preceding claim, wherein the tweeter horn is frustoconical or frustopyramidal.
The device of any preceding claim, further comprising a carrier supporting the tweeter and the LED assembly.
The device of any preceding claim, further comprising a chassis that supports the speaker.
An annular light emitting diode, LED, assembly for use in a combined lighting and speaker device comprising a tweeter, the LED assembly having a central longitudinal axis defining a forward and a rearward direction and a radially outward and a radially inward direction, the assembly comprising:
A combined lighting and loudspeaker device having a central longitudinal axis defining a forward and a rearward direction and a radially outward and a radially inward direction, the device comprising:
A kit of parts that can be assembled to provide a device or assembly according to any preceding claim.
A method of manufacturing a device, assembly or kit of parts according to any preceding claim.
