Lighting strip for an aircraft interior and aircraft interior equipment with a plurality of lighting strips
A lighting strip for an aircraft interior is provided. The lighting strip has a connection for a network voltage, a rectifier for rectifying the network voltage into a power supply voltage, and a circuit board extending along a longitudinal extension of the lighting strip. Multiple LEDs are arranged on the circuit board and powered by the power supply voltage. A controllable current sink arrangement, having multiple individual sink devices connected electrically in parallel with one another, is provided for converting electrical energy transported via the connection into heat. The individual sink devices are distributed on the circuit board along the longitudinal extension of the circuit board. The sink devices are controlled by a control apparatus independently from the operative conditions of the LEDs to provide a homogenously distributed thermal profile of the lighting strip.
The invention relates to a reading lamp for installation in a cabin trim element (4) of a vehicle, in particular of an aircraft, comprising
an installation frame (1) having a ring element (2),
a lamp housing (7) having a mating support surface (8), and
a clamping ring (9)
wherein the clamping ring (9) is connected to the installation frame (1) by means of tension spring elements (10), such that the lamp housing (7) is forced against the support surface (6) of the inner surface of the ring element (2) by means of the clamping ring (9) and may be moved with respect to the installation frame (1) in the manner of a ball and socket joint.

A lighting apparatus, in particular a reading lamp, is provided. The apparatus can be recessed in a trim of a passenger cab of a vehicle, which can be a land vehicle, an aircraft, or a watercraft. The apparatus has a first light-emitting device that is pivotably mounted to a recess-mounting frame, so that a light-emitting direction of the first light-emitting device with respect to the recess-mounting frame is changeable. To simplify the design of the apparatus, a second light-emitting device is mounted to a visible side of the recess-mounting frame. The second light-emitting device at least partially surrounds the first light-emitting device and is fitted to the recess-mounting frame, so that the light-emitting direction of the second light-emitting device is invariable.
