How do mechanical and electric adjustment drive the precise light distribution of flood light?

Mechanical adjustment and electric adjustment constitute the two core driving systems of adjustable optical lenses. With completely different technical paths, the two provide support for the precise light distribution of flood lights in various scenes. From the mechanical transmission of gear sets and slide rails to the automated operation of servo motors and control systems, the two driving methods meet the accuracy, frequency and convenience requirements of lighting adjustment in different scenes with their own technical characteristics.
The core components of the mechanical adjustment device, the gear set or slide rail, realize the lens angle adjustment through the pure mechanical transmission principle. In the gear set structure, the user manually rotates the operating handle to drive the gear meshing rotation, and then drives the transmission mechanism connected to the lens to change the relative position of the lens and the light source; the slide rail structure is more intuitive, and the user pushes and pulls the lens carrier to move along the slide rail to directly change the light refraction path. This mechanical transmission method does not require complex electronic components, and can complete the beam angle adjustment only by relying on precision-machined metal components, and has excellent stability.
Electric adjustment relies on servo motors and intelligent control systems to bring automated and high-precision light distribution adjustment capabilities to flood lights. As the core power source, the servo motor can realize precise angle rotation and position control according to preset programs or real-time instructions. When the control system receives the adjustment signal, whether it is the command from the remote control terminal or the data fed back by the environmental sensor, it will quickly convert the signal into an electrical pulse to drive the servo motor to operate. The motor drives the lens to rotate through the transmission mechanism. The whole process can complete the switching from narrow beam (15°) to wide beam (120°) within a few seconds, and the angle adjustment accuracy can reach 0.1°. Some high-end electric adjustment systems also have adaptive adjustment functions. Through built-in light sensors and algorithms, they can automatically adjust the beam angle and brightness of the flood light according to the ambient light intensity and personnel activities to realize intelligent lighting management.
Mechanical adjustment is suitable for scenes with low adjustment frequency and low automation requirements due to its stable, reliable and easy operation characteristics; electric adjustment meets the needs of fast response and precise control of lighting in complex scenes with its advantages of high precision and automation. The synergistic existence of the two driving methods enables flood lights to cover all-scenario applications from basic public lighting to high-end professional lighting.
