Abstract

A lighting device configured for professional illumination. The lighting device includes a head and a component emitting oil fumes, and a fluid tight housing. An oil fume absorbing filter is arranged within the housing.

Claims (17)

1. A lighting device configured for professional illumination, the lighting device comprising a head and a component emitting oil fumes, the lighting device comprising a fluid tight housing, wherein an oil fume absorbing filter is arranged within said housing, and

the lighting device further comprising a ventilation device configured to force air within the housing to pass through said oil fume absorbing filter.

2. A lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein the oil fume absorbing filter and the ventilation device are arranged in a filter housing comprising an inlet and an outlet, and wherein the ventilation device is arranged upstream or down stream of the filter.

3. A lighting device according to claim 2 , wherein the filter housing comprises an upstream channel provided between an inlet of the upstream channel and the oil fume absorbing filter.

4. A lighting device according to claim 2 , wherein the lighting device comprises a support arrangement for supporting the head, wherein the inlet to the upstream channel of the filter housing is provided in one of the head and the support arrangement, and wherein the filter is provided in the other of the head and the support arrangement.

5. A lighting device according to claim 2 , wherein the inlet to the upstream channel of the filter housing is provided in the head and where an outlet from the filter housing is provided in the head.

6. A lighting device according to claim 2 , wherein the filter housing comprises two or more upstream channels leading to the oil fume absorbing filter, each upstream channel having an inlet.

7. A lighting device according to claim 6 , wherein each upstream channel comprises a ventilation device.

8. A lighting device according to claim 2 , wherein the filter housing has as dust filter arranged downstream of the oil fume absorbing filter.

9. A lighting device according to claim 8 , wherein the dust filter is a HEPA filter.

10. A lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein the oil fume absorbing filter is an active carbon filter.

11. A lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein the lighting device comprises a head movable relative to a support arrangement by one or more motors.

12. A lighting device according to claim 1 , further comprising a control unit connected to said ventilation device and configured to activate the ventilation device, when the lighting device is turned on and deactivate the ventilation device, when the lighting device is turned off;

activate the ventilation device, when the lighting device is turned on, and deactivate the ventilation device a predetermined period of time after the lighting device is turned off; or

activate the ventilation device in regular predetermined intervals of time after the lighting device is turned on.

13. A lighting device according to claim 1 , further comprising a control unit connected to said ventilation device and to at least one sensor, the sensor being arranged within said housing, and being configured to detect a variable indicative of oil fumes being present in the housing, and wherein the control unit is configured to activate the ventilation device, based on input from the sensor, when the measured variable approaches or exceeds a threshold.

14. A lighting device according to claim 13 , wherein the sensor is a temperature sensor, and wherein the control unit is configured to activate the ventilation device, based on input from the sensor, when the measured temperature approaches or exceeds an evaporation temperature of the oil used in the oil fume emitting components.
