| Patent Number: |

| Title: |
Camera-Mounted Semiconductor Lighting Apparatus |
| Abstract: |
A lighting effects system comprises an arrangement of lamp elements, such
as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or other light elements, on a panel or
frame. The panel or frame may be relatively lightweight, and may include
one or more circuit boards for direct mounting of the lamp elements. The
panel or frame may have an opening through which a camera can view. A
mounting bracket and assembly may be used for attaching the panel or
frame to a camera. The lamp elements may be electronically controllable
so as to provide differing intensity levels, collectively, individually,
or in designated groups, and may be strobed, dimmed or otherwise
controlled according to manually selected or programmable patterns.
Different color lamp elements may be mounted on the same panel/frame,
and, in particular, daylight and tungsten colored lamp elements may be
mounted on the same panel/frame and their relative intensities
selectively controlled by control circuitry.
