Abstract

The invention relates to a searchlight arrangement with one or more lamp bodies that are equipped with a UV light and a UV filter. The light intensity of the UV light is from 12 W 1 000 W. The UV light seeks out fluorescent pigments in the dark, mist or fog, rain and snow. It also detects oil. The areas of application for the invention are, in the first instance, professional maritime navigation, rescue vehicles, working vehicles, security work and aviation.

Description

Searchlight arrangement.
UV-ColorLight is a range of searchlights for remote control, manual control and fixed installation.
A specially adapted UV light has now been designed for this searchlight, which is only suitable for this range.
This is available in light intensities from 12 W to 1 000 W UV. These intensities find a use depending on the desired area of application.
The area of application for this range of searchlights with UV light as a supplement is, Ln the first instance, professional maritime navigation, sea rescue, land-based rescue and professional vehicles and aviation. It is possible to see all fluorescent objects through darkness, mist or fog, rain and snow in this
UV light. The UV light also detects oil.
The only searchlights that are available today with UV light are in the form of small hand lamps with a maximum power of 11 W. No other or better solutions than these are available at this time.
The new UV lights, which have 12 W - 1000 W of power, have an entirely new form of range and are manoeuvred, for example by remote control, from inside a navigation bridge or cab.
Navigation marks at sea can be effected using fluorescent pigments. During daylight hours, these can be seen simply as a white reflection without the need for UV illumination. Under conditions of snow, rain, darkness and mist or fog, these marks will light up in the appropriate colour, for which the pigment has been selected, when illuminated with UV light. E.g. red for port and green for starboard.
With this UV technology, which was developed for this range of searchlights, it is thus possible to follow your location by visual means. This is an invaluable aid in the event of the failure of other instrumentation.
There is nothing similar available on the market today. This combination of searchlight and UV light is unique and will bring a revolution in maritime navigation in the first instance, but also on land in conjunction with rescue missions and at workplaces.
Everything which contains fluorescent pigments lights up like a flare. It is sufficient to have washed a garment in a detergent containing an optical whitening agent for certain pigments to become fluorescent. This means that all rescue equipment can be equipped with fluorescent material in order to facilitate a rescue mission with UV-ColorLight. This combination has not been produced previously, but will in future be available all over the world. Nothing similar is available on the market today. If several lamp bodies are present on the same spotlight, it is possible to use a combination with a halogen lamp or an HMI lamp.
Or all the lamp bodies can be fitted with UV light for maximum UV effect.
The various UV halogen functions can be manoeuvred individually via a remote control or on the fixed unit.
The areas of application are infinite in number, although the main ones are those indicated above.
A position indicator has also been developed for this range of UV searchlights. This indicates how the movement of the lamp relates to the workplace. Since the UV light does not have the character of a visible beam, the indicator indicates the direction of lamp when it is being used.

Claims

PATENT CLAIMS
1. Searchlight arrangement, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT one or more lamp bodies are equipped with a UV light.
2. Arrangement in accordance with Claim 1, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT theUV beam is indicated with a position indicator.
3. Arrangement in accordance with Claims 1 and 2, CHARACTERIZED BY aUV light intensity from 12 W - 1000 W.
4. Arrangement in accordance with Claims 1 and 2, CHARACTERIZED BY a special filter that inhibits harmful UV radiation.
5. Arrangement in accordance with one or other of the foregoing Claims, CHARACTERI ZED BY an area of application in navigation - professional maritime navigation - rescue missions at sea - land-based operations - aviation, security work and the detection of oil.
6. Arrangement in accordance with Claim 1, CHARACTERIZED BY an indicator, shown in Fig.1, which shows the position of the lamp in such a way that the user is aware of the direction of the UV beam.
7. Arrangement in accordance with Claim 1, CHARACTERIZED BY an indicator which follows the movements of the searchlight with light-emitting diodes which are driven via a processor or by electromechanical means.
