Controllable lighting device i.e. garden path lamp, for illuminating outdoor area, has sensor staying in operative connection with timer, and control of illuminant provided by circuit that is coupled with regulating or switching device

摘要

The device (1) has an active optical sensor e.g. HALIOS(RTM: multi-purpose optical sensor), staying in operative connection with a timer and a regulating or switching device. A control of an illuminant (4) is provided by a circuit that is coupled with the regulating or switching device, and a control of a luminous period and a luminous intensity is provided by the circuit that is coupled with the timer. A sensor-active region (3) is assigned to the optical sensor and aligned spatially to the optical sensor. An independent claim is also included for a method for controlling a lighting device for illuminating outdoor areas.
