Abstract:
1. A movable lamp, comprising: a base; a moveable head that is moveable relative to said base, said moveable head being controllable for moving, and said moving of said movable head being electrically controlled based on an electrical control, and the moveable head having a light source therein that points in a direction based on the movement of the movable head, to point in a first direction when the movable head is pointed in a first direction and to point in a second opposite direction when the movable head is pointed in a second direction; and an electronic brake, which is energized to remove a braking effect and thereby allow said moveable head to move relative to said base, and is de-energized to cause a braking force and to prevent said movable head from moving relative to said base, said electronic brake being configured to automatically latch into its braked state when deenergized, and remain in the braked state until said braking is removed by a remotely received command, and a processor which creates said remote command to remove said braking from said electronic brake, and wherein said remote command is created by an action of the processor which is separate from power up of the processor; and where a first power level created by the processor to remove the braking effect once latched into the braked state is a higher power level than a second power level created by the processor to maintain the braking effect removed.
