User-actuated lighting effect device

摘要

A user-actuated lighting effect device includes a housing, a light-generating lamp coupled to the housing, a power source, and a control circuit. The control circuit includes a user-actuated switch operably coupling the lamp and the power source. The lamp creates a lighting effect on or near the user when the first switch is on. The housing can be mounted in a use orientation on a pedal board. The lamp can create an upwardly directed lighting effect. An operational mode can be selected using a lighting mode switch.

主权项

1. A user-foot-actuated performance lighting effect device, for use with a power source, comprising:
a housing; a light-generating lamp integrally mounted to the housing; a control circuit connectable to the power source and including a user-foot-actuated lighting switch mounted to the housing to provide power to the control circuit to permit the lamp to be connected to the power source when the lighting switch is on; the control circuit comprising a microcontroller providing lighting signals to the lamp according to inputs to the microcontroller; the microcontroller comprises an electronic audio signal input; an internal microphone operably coupled to the electronic audio signal input, whereby electronic audio signals from the internal microphone that are applied to the electronic audio signal input affect the lighting signals provided by the microcontroller to the lamp; and the lamp mounted to the housing to create a lighting effect extending only upwardly from the housing when the lighting switch is on.
