Combination low voltage speaker / light fixture
View Patent ↗A combination low voltage light and sound producing fixture is disclosed for installation in a yard wall or ceiling or on a wall or ceiling. Outdoor lighting and sound is produced with low voltage lighting that is wired or solar powered for operation. The fixture may further include digital signal processing to modify the sound to account for obstructions in near or around the fixture. The fixture may include a feedback system that allow the fixture to self modify its frequency response. The signal to the fixture is provided by wired or wireless interface. The surface of the sound transducer can be reflective in nature to provide focusing or diffusion of the light from the lighting elements. The lighting elements are incandescent, fluorescent or low voltage LED type that may include adjustment for lighting intensity or color.
1. A solar powered combination speaker lighting fixture comprising:
a transmitter that transmits a wireless audio data signal;
a plurality of wireless combination speaker lighting fixtures having;
at least one solar collector;
a power storage device;
at least one sound producing element;
at least one light producing element;
a wireless receiver that receives said wireless audio data signal that controls the at least one light producing element and produces sound from the sound producing element, and
whereby sound from each of said plurality of speaker light fixtures is adjustable.
2. A combination speaker lighting fixture according to claim 1 in which the at least one low voltage illumination element is an LED.
3. A combination speaker lighting fixture according to claim 1 in which the at least one low voltage illumination elements consist of an array of low voltage lighting element.
4. A combination speaker lighting fixture according to claim 1 in which the at least one low voltage illumination element and the at least one sound emitting element are independently replaced.
5. A combination speaker lighting fixture according to claim 1 in which the direction of illumination of the at least one low voltage illumination element is adjustable.
6. A combination speaker lighting fixture according to claim 1 in which the orientation of the at least one sound emitting is adjustable.
7. A combination speaker lighting fixture according to claim 1 in which the fixture further includes a digital signal processor to at least partially modulate a signal to the sound emitting element to at least partially compensate for placement or obstructions within or near the fixture.
8. An outdoor combination speaker lighting fixture comprising:
a low voltage power source muxed with an audio signal that is wired to a plurality of separate low voltage outdoor illumination fixtures wherein each of the plurality of separate low voltage outdoor illumination fixtures has at least one demuxer that splits the low voltage power source to provide low voltage to an outdoor low voltage illumination fixture and splits the audio signal to at least one speaker located within the plurality of separate low voltage outdoor illumination fixtures.
9. A combination speaker lighting fixture according to claim 8 in which the at least one illumination element is a low voltage lighting element.
10. A combination speaker lighting fixture according to claim 8 that further includes a digital signal processor for filtering of 58 to 62 Hz noise and DC voltage noise.
11. A combination speaker lighting fixture according to claim 8 in which a plurality of sound emitting elements are utilized.
12. A combination speaker lighting fixture according to claim 11 in which at least one of the plurality of sound emitting elements are repositioned within the fixture.
13. A combination speaker lighting fixture according to claim 8 in which the at least one illumination element and the at least one sound emitting element are independently replaced.
