| Title: |
Apparatus and Method for Providing a Linear Effect |
| Abstract: |
Apparatus (11) for providing an output of: (i) electromagnetic waves; (ii)
sound waves; or (iii) both electromagnetic and sound waves comprises a
power supply, support structure (13), control means and a plurality of
transmitters (15) arranged in a linear array on said support structure
(13) and in electrical contact with said control means, wherein each
transmitter (15) is controllable individually and independently from
other transmitters. To provide a coloured lighting effect, apparatus can
comprise a first source of light of a first colour, a second source of
light of a second colour, different from the first colour and a diffuser
(12) for diffusing the light from the first and second sources so that
the diffused light from the diffuser is perceived to have different
colour, shade or hue. Uses of the apparatus are described, for
applications such as entertainment, safety, directional and speed
control, such as in providing a linear sound and/or lighting effect in
which the output is perceived as emanating from a substantially
continuous sound and/or light source rather than from a plurality of
individual sources.
