| Title: |
Method and Apparatus for Controlling the Temperature of a Multiparameter Light and/or a Component Thereof Using Orientation and/or Parameter Information |
| Abstract: |
A multiparameter light typically includes a lamp and shutter in combination
with one or more optical components, various electrical and mechanical
components for operating the optical components, suitable electronics for
controlling the parameters of the multiparameter light, and suitable power
supplies for the lamp, motors, and electronics. Typically, the lamp is
enclosed by the lamp housing, which also contains the other optical
components and many of the electrical and mechanical components which
operate them. As the lamp and the various components within the lamp
housing generate a great deal of heat and as components within the
multiparameter light can overheat as a result of various orientations and
light makeup parameters, the temperature of components within the lamp
housing is managed by controlling the amount of power furnished to the
lamp or the amount of light transmitted through the shutter in accordance
with the orientation of the multiparameter light and/or the light makeup
parameter in use.
