Abstract:
1. An apparatus for irradiating an area with radiant energy, comprising: at least two different power sources, wherein one of the power sources includes a battery pack; a power component that receives electrical power from the at least two power sources; a plurality of radiant-energy emitters powered by the power component, wherein each radiant-energy emitter of the plurality of radiant-energy emitters emits an adjustable flux of radiant energy during operation of the apparatus dependent on the power received from the power component; a plurality of radiant-energy sensors, wherein each radiant-energy sensor of the plurality of radiant-energy sensors detects an amount of radiant energy during operation of the apparatus, wherein the amount of radiant energy detected includes radiant energy created directly by at least one of the plurality of radiant-energy emitters; and control logic configured to vary the power received by the plurality of radiant-energy emitters; wherein when the power component receives electrical power from both of the at least two power sources, the radiant energy emitted in a particular amount of time is increased and the time required to emit a particular amount of radiant energy is decreased compared with when the power component receives electrical power from a single power source.
