Abstract: An imaging sensor determines an influence of artificial light from one or more artificial light sources and an influence of natural light in an area associated with a lighting system. On the basis of the influence of the natural light and the influence of the artificial light, the imaging sensor determines the location of the one or more artificial light sources with respect to the location of the imaging sensor. Further, the imaging sensor allocates a portion of the area as an area of influence of the imaging sensor based on a threshold change in luminescence of the area associated with switching on or switching off of the one or more artificial light sources. Responsively, the imaging sensor associates at least one artificial light source of the one or more light sources and occupancy sensors corresponding to the at least one artificial light source with the allocated area of influence.

Abstract: An electrical box that allows for separate wire connection areas for low voltage and line voltage wiring within a single box. The electrical box includes a voltage divider positioned within the box that divides the box into two portions, providing a low voltage wiring connection area that is separate from the line voltage wiring connection area. The electrical box also includes multiple knockouts, each covering an opening that provides a passageway from the interior of the box to the exterior of the box. At least one knockout and associated opening are positioned to provide access to the low voltage wiring connection area and another knockout and associate opening is positioned along to the box to provide access to the line voltage wiring connection area. The box provides an electrical junction for a luminaire, such as a downlight, or other electrical device.

Abstract: A device for gripping a cable includes a device body, one or more gripping elements, and a gripping element housing configured to support the one or more gripping elements. The gripping element housing is rotatably coupled to the device body such that rotation of the gripping element housing relative to the device body about a longitudinal axis causes the one or more gripping elements to move radially relative to the longitudinal axis. The gripping elements may be configured such that they do not rotate relative to the gripping element housing. The gripping elements may also be configured such that they move only in a radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis, or alternatively such that they move both radially and longitudinally relative to the longitudinal axis.
