Abstract: A dimmable lighting system may replace a bi-level lighting system without having to modify or supplement the existing wiring between a bi-level control unit and one or more light fixtures. The dimmable lighting system may include a dimming controller that may be configured to replace a bi-level control unit in situ (i.e., e.g., in a wall-mounted dual-gang switch box). The dimmable lighting system may also include a dimming driver that may be coupled to the dimming controller via the existing wiring of the bi-level lighting system. The dimming controller may output to the dimming driver a 0-10 volt DC dimming signal referenced to an AC utility voltage. In response, a dimmable lighting device coupled to the dimming driver may output light over a wide range of dimming light levels. Methods of replacing a bi-level lighting system with a dimmable lighting system are also provided, as are other aspects.

Abstract: An emergency luminaire includes an emergency luminaire light source to emit emergency illumination lighting. The emergency luminaire also includes an emergency luminaire power supply configured to be driven by an emergency power line. The emergency luminaire further includes emergency luminaire programming, wherein execution of the emergency luminaire programming configures the emergency luminaire to implement the following functions. The emergency luminaire tracks an active message gap time. In response to receiving a normal power active message from a respective member device of a plurality of member devices of a lighting control group before the tracked active message gap time exceeds an active message timeout, the emergency luminaire resets the active message gap time. In response to the tracked active message gap time exceeding the active message timeout, the emergency luminaire enters an emergency mode (EM) active state by controlling the emergency luminaire light source to emit the emergency illumination lighting.

Abstract: A lighting system includes a plurality of lighting system elements. The lighting system elements include a luminaire and a reporting device. The luminaire includes a light source to emit illumination light. The reporting device includes a reporting device network communication interface system for network communication, a reporting device processor, a reporting device memory, and reporting device programming in the reporting device memory. Execution of the reporting device programming causes the respective reporting device to collect a respective performance metric of a respective luminaire and submits a respective claim including the respective performance metric to one or more storage devices. A respective storage device validates a plurality of claims, including the respective claim. The storage device stores the subset or all of the plurality of claims in a block in at least one storage device of the one or more storage devices. The block includes a lighting value token.

Abstract: A lighting system includes a wake-up light source to emit a wake-up light beam and a plurality of luminaires located in a space. A respective luminaire includes an illumination light source to emit illumination lighting for the space, a light sensor to detect light, a wireless transceiver configured for wireless communication, and a memory. The respective luminaire further includes a processor coupled to the light sensor, the wireless transceiver, and the memory. The respective luminaire further includes wake-up programming in the memory. Execution of the wake-up programming by the processor causes the respective luminaire to: (a) detect a plurality of light measurements above a light threshold; (b) determine whether the plurality of light measurements are in accordance with a pattern; and (c) in response to determining the plurality of light measurements are in accordance with the pattern, enter a beaconing mode.

Abstract: A system includes a control device and a plurality of lighting fixtures configured to receive power through the control device. Each lighting fixture includes a receiver and a memory, and is configured to: scan for a first message transmitted by the control device, the first message containing a unique identifier of the control device; receive the first message and store the unique identifier of the control device in the memory; sense a power interrupt to the lighting fixture initiated by the control device within a specified period of time after receipt of the first message from the control device; and transmit a second message including the unique identifier of the control device, the second message indicating that the lighting fixture is in a provisioning mode.

Abstract: A processing device can digitally control lighting fixtures by receiving a request to generate light at a correlated color temperature (“CCT”) level in an environment. The environment can include a first lighting fixture having a first range of generatable CCT values and a second lighting fixture having a second range of generatable CCT values. The processing device can determine a first CCT value based on the request and the first range. The processing device can further determine a second CCT value based on the first CCT value and the second range. The processing device can further transmit a first digital signal to the first lighting fixture to cause the first lighting fixture to generate light at the first CCT value. The processing device can further transmit a second digital signal to the second lighting fixture to cause the second lighting fixture to generate light at the second CCT value.
