Abstract:
The present embodiments provide channel letter lighting devices and/or systems. A lighting system, comprising a plurality of electrically connected lighting units, comprising conductors to provide an electrical signal to each of the units. Each of the lighting units comprise a housing, a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted within the housing and having a plurality of tabs and a plurality light emitting elements on the tabs. The tabs are angled in relation of the remainder of the PCB or housing. The electrical signal applied to the light emitting elements causes them to emit light substantially away from said housing. The lighting system further comprises a sealant within the housing filling cavities around the light emitting elements and the cavity around said PCB and a mounting mechanism for mounting the unit to a structure.

Abstract:
A bar-typed track LED lamp includes a track (10), a bar-typed LED lamp (20) movably mounted on the track (10), a connector (30) disposed between the track (10) and the bar-typed LED lamp (20), and two balance mechanisms (40) disposed on the bar-typed LED lamp (20) and arranged at both sides of the connector (30) along a longitudinal direction of the track (10). Each of the two balance mechanisms (40) includes a housing (41) disposed on the bar-typed LED lamp (20), a prop (42) received in the housing (41) and protruding from the housing (41), and at least one elastic member (43) arranged between the prop (42) and the bar-typed LED lamp (20). The prop (42) presses against the track (10) while the elastic member (43) is under compression. Whether the direction of the tension force F is strictly coinciding with the center of gravity of the bar-typed LED lamp (20) or not, the bar-typed LED lamp (20) always receives an equal moment. Therefore, the connector (30) or the bar-typed LED (20) cannot be damaged.
Abstract:
An ambient light sensor measures an ambient light level at one point in an illuminated environment, such as a warehouse, office, shop, cold-storage facility, or industrial facility, and provides an indication of the measured ambient light level to a processor. The processor maps the measured ambient light level to an estimated ambient light level at a different point in the illuminated environment from the measured ambient light level (e.g., a “task height” about three feet from a warehouse floor). The processor may determine the difference between the estimated ambient light level and a desired light level at the task height, and may change the artificial illumination provided by a light fixture to make the actual ambient light level at task height match the desired light level at the task height.

Abstract:
According to an aspect of the present invention, a lighting device (2) is provided. The lighting device (2) comprises a wavelength converting layer (21) having a curved shape and a light source (22) arranged to emit light towards the wavelength converting layer (21). The wavelength converting layer (21) intersects a plane extending through the light source (22) and being parallel with the optical axis of the light source (22), at a curve given, in a polar coordinate system centered at the light source (22), by the equation: R(φ)=k·I(φ)1/2±D, wherein k is a constant, 0 is an angle with respect to said optical axis, /(φ) is a function defining a luminous intensity profile of the light source and D is a deviation ranging from zero to 20% of the maximum value of said curve, Rmax. The present invention is advantageous in that the lighting device (2) has a more uniform color distribution of emitted light across the wavelength converting layer (21) and the risk of color gradients and artifacts is reduced.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a lighting unit which has a lighting unit housing with a profiled element (2) and which has a retaining element (3, 4) arranged on the profiled element (2) for retaining another lighting unit component (5, 6), for example a lighting unit top sleeve (5) and/or an operating device (6). The lighting unit is designed such that the retaining element (3, 4) is held on the profiled element (2) solely via a latching connection (R). Said design allows the retaining element (3, 4) to be connected to the profiled element (2) in a particularly simple manner. Additionally, no special fixing elements are required in order to attach the retaining element (3, 4) to the profiled element (2).
Abstract:
To provide a line light irradiation device in which waste of the light sources can be reduced and illuminance unevenness between the light source units can be prevented. A line light irradiation device 1 includes a plurality of light source units 6 on which a plurality of light source mounting substrates 10 are juxtaposed on a base 71 in a row, and the plurality of light source units 6 are juxtaposed in a row. The plurality of light source mounting substrates 10 are positioned on and fixed to the base 71 at predetermined intervals. Thus, if a light source in a certain light source unit becomes defective, this light source unit can be removed so as to exchange only the light source mounting substrate on which the defective light source is mounted. Therefore, the normal light sources can be left as they are as much as possible, and waste of the light sources can be reduced. Further, the light source mounting substrates 10 are positioned and fixed at predetermined intervals, and thus dimensional errors do not accumulate in the light source mounting substrates 10 at the juxtaposition ends . Accordingly, illuminance unevenness can be prevented between adjacent light source units.
