As can be seen, the illuminated area 19 extends to the floor 18 located in front of the installation switch or installation button 1, ie the desired floor lighting is realized.

Bei Ausführung als Installationsschalter mit zwei unterschiedlichen Stellungen der Wippe 8 wird die Lampe 11 lediglich in der Ausschalt-Stellung der Wippe eingeschaltet, während die Lampe 11 in der Einschalt-Stellung der Wippe ausgeschaltet bleibt. Hierzu kann ein Elektronik-Baustein dienen, welcher die Lampe 11 in Abhängigkeit der Stellung der Wippe ansteuert. Fig. 6 zeigt die beiden möglichen Stellungen der Wippe 8 des Installationsschalters 1.When designed as an installation switch with two different positions of the rocker 8, the lamp 11 is turned on only in the off position of the rocker, while the lamp 11 is turned off in the on position of the rocker. For this purpose, an electronic component can serve, which activates the lamp 11 as a function of the position of the rocker. Fig. 6 shows the two possible positions of the rocker 8 of the installation switch. 1

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist ein Baukastensystem realisierbar, bei welchem der Installationsschalter bzw. Installationstaster 1 wahlweise mit einer Fußbodenbeleuchtung oder mit einem Orientierungslicht ausgerüstet werden kann, wie dies auch in Fig. 7 dargestellt ist. Der Gerätesockel 2 ist dabei als Universal-Gerätesockel 2 mit Universal-Lampenhalter ausgebildet. Wahlweise kann der Universal-Gerätesockel 2 wie bestückt werden:

  • Bei der Ausführungsform mit Fußbodenbeleuchtung erfolgt die Bestückung des Universal-Gerätesockels 2 mit einem Lampenhalter 6, welcher eine relativ leistungsstarke Lampe 11 aufweist, wobei eine Wippe 8 verwendet wird, welche an ihrer Rückseite mit einem Lichtleiter 13 versehen ist und wobei an der vorzugsweise in Richtung Fußboden weisenden Seitenkante der Betätigungsfläche der Wippe 8 eine Lichtaustrittsöffnungen 10 zum Durchgriff der Lichtaustrittsfläche 16 des Lichtleiters 13 vorgesehen ist, wodurch sich der zum Fußboden gerichtete Leuchtbereich 19 ergibt: siehe linker Abschnitt der Fig. 7.
  • Bei der Ausführungsform mit Orientierungslicht erfolgt die Bestückung des Universal-Gerätesockels 2 mit einem Lampenhalter 6, welcher eine relativ leistungsschwache Lampe 20 aufweist, wobei eine Wippe 21 verwendet wird, welche frontseitig ein zentrales Lichtfenster 22 aufweist, wodurch sich ein etwa parallel zum Fußboden verlaufender Leuchtbereich 23 ergibt.
In a further embodiment of the invention, a modular system can be realized in which the installation switch or installation button 1 can be optionally equipped with a floor lighting or with an orientation light, as in Fig. 7 is shown. The device base 2 is designed as a universal device base 2 with universal lamp holder. Optionally, the universal device base 2 can be equipped as follows:
  • In the embodiment with floor lighting, the assembly of the universal device base 2 is carried out with a lamp holder 6, which has a relatively powerful lamp 11, wherein a rocker 8 is used, which is provided at its rear with a light guide 13 and wherein preferably in the direction Floor facing side edge of the actuating surface of the rocker 8, a light exit openings 10 is provided for the passage of the light exit surface 16 of the light guide 13, resulting in the direction of the floor illuminated area 19 results: see left section of Fig. 7 ,
  • In the embodiment with orientation light, the assembly of the universal device base 2 is carried out with a lamp holder 6, which has a relatively low-power lamp 20, wherein a rocker 21 is used, which front has a central light window 22, resulting in an approximately parallel to the floor extending luminous area 23 results.

Vorstehend ist die Rede davon, dass die Lichtaustrittsöffnung 10 vorzugsweise in Richtung Fußboden 18 strahlt. Alternativ kann der Installationsschalter oder-taster 1 auch um 180° gedreht montiert werden, so dass die Lichtaustrittsöffnung 10 in Richtung Decke strahlt, was bei einer sehr hellen (vorzugsweise weißen) Decke zur Reflexion des abgestrahlten Lichts zum Fußboden führt, wodurch die gewünschte Fußbodenbeleuchtung realisiert wird.Above, there is talk of the light exit opening 10 preferably radiating in the direction of the floor 18. Alternatively, the installation switch or push-button 1 can be mounted rotated by 180 °, so that the light exit opening 10 radiates towards the ceiling, resulting in a very bright (preferably white) ceiling to reflect the radiated light to the floor, whereby the desired floor lighting realized becomes.
