Abstract

In various embodiments, a lamp arrangement with a lamp including a base which is able to be inserted into a socket for establishing contact with the lamp, wherein the lamp arrangement has at least one operating element for setting a property of the lamp, wherein the at least one operating element is not accessible when the lamp is being used in the intended manner.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A lamp configured to emit light; wherein the lamp comprises:
a base which is able to be inserted into a socket for establishing contact with the lamp, and
a movement sensor arrangement comprising at least one of a movement detector and/or a brightness sensor;
wherein the lamp has at least one operating element configured for adjusting a property of the emitted light from the lamp, wherein the property is selected from the group consisting of:
setting a capture range or a capture angle of the movement sensor arrangement integrated into the lamp;
setting a delay time where the lamp remains switched on after the last movement detected by the movement sensor arrangement; and
combinations thereof;

wherein the at least one operating element is not controllable when the lamp is being used in the intended manner.

2. The lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one operating element is disposed at least one of on the base and on the socket.

3. The lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the lamp is a light emitting diode lamp or a light emitting diode tube.

4. The lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the lamp has bases on both sides.

5. The lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 4 ,
wherein at least two contact pins are disposed on at least one base of the lamp and
wherein at least one operating element is disposed in the area between the contact pins;
with the bases being embodied so that they are able to be inserted into conventional sockets embodied for tubular fluorescent lamps.

6. The lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein at least two contact pins are disposed on at least one base of the lamp and
wherein at least one operating element is disposed in the area between the contact pins.

7. The lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein an outer operating side of the operating element disposed in the base is approximately flush with an outer surface of the base.

8. The lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the operating element is one of a switch and a rotary potentiometer.

9. The lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the operating element is able to be adjusted by a tool.

10. The lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 9 ,
wherein the tool comprises one of a screwdriver and a small adjustment plate.

11. The lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein one of a light color; a color temperature; and a switch-on and switch-off time is able to be set by an operating element.

12. The lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein an outer operating side of the operating elements disposed in the socket is approximately flush with an outer surface of the socket.
