For those who are elderly or living by
themselves or simply like a nightlight.
The ideas of a house have tracklighting
installed along the bottom of walls and
hallways. Short range
motion sensors activate the LED
tracklighting in every hall just as you
walk along.
Settings can be changed
on a main pad
in the master bedroom for brightness
and which parts of the houses the lights
come on in.
[added may 30] additionaly, these
sensors could also track intrusive motion
as well. if you know you're going to be in
bed, or your room the whole night, and
no-one else is in the house, theeen you
could set it to notify of un-wanted
movement and such. or you could just
know when the kids are getting out of
bed.

welcome to the HB. I like this idea more than is strictly sensible.(+)? |
|
| |
You sure you mean track lighting? I'm thinking you're thinking of strip lighting. |
|
| |
Not sure how original it is to add motion sensors to strip lighting. |
|
| |
I assumed [lolzcakes] meant aeroplane style LED lighting at foot level. |
|

LED lights illuminate from both sides of
the walls on the floor level, so yes it
actually lights up the floor. Its not like
recessed lighting that just outlines the
wall. and yes the lighting would follow
you, approx 2 m to the front and 1 m
behind you |
|
| |
instead of motion sensors, there could be
pressure sensors under carpet. i think that
would actually be better than motion
sensors. |
|
| |
I have always wanted this. Thank you. |

Put RFID tags in your slippers and have sensors track where you walk, illuminating just your immediate vicinity. This would also come in handy when the dog runs off with one of your slippers. |
|
| |
As an alternative, the RFID tags could be glued to your toenails or implanted into your feet. |
|
| |
I want the lights to 'scan' either side of me as I walk, like being followed by KITT. |
|
| |
I've seen floor-level lighting in RVs. |
|
| |
LEDs don't use much power; can't you just leave them on? |

For some reason I initially read 'horses outfitted with track lighting...' |
|
| |
//'horses outfitted with track lighting...// Me too! I liked that idea. Kinda like this onoe. In fact, I'm amazed it isn't available as a product already. Major bun. |
