| 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.
