    摘要: An apparatus and method for reducing lumen depreciation caused by other than lamp lumen depreciation. In one aspect, manufacturing and assembly of the fixture uses clean-room light techniques. In another aspect of the invention, materials that have a propensity to outgas are shielded from direct exposure to light energy. Other aspects of the invention include other methodologies to eliminate causes for lumen depreciation.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system for compensating for lamp lumen depreciation. The method includes operating the lamp under rated wattage for a period towards the first part of operating life of the lamp. Operating wattage is increased at one or more later times. Energy savings are realized. The increases also restore at least some light lost by lamp lumen depreciation. The apparatus uses a timer to track operating time of the lamp. A few wattage changes made at spaced apart times can be made in a number of ways, including changing capacitance to the lamp, or using different taps on the lamp ballast.

    摘要: An apparatus and method of minimizing glare from a lighting fixture using reflective glass as a lens and where the fixture is configured or desired to be configured to converge light to the same point in space. The method aims a top-most or bottom-most portion of the main reflector so that light reflected from it travels perpendicularly to the lens. Remaining portions of the main reflector either automatically adjust to the top-most or bottom-most portion or are adjusted so that glare is minimized by reimaging of the light source caused by reflectance from the glass lens in a manner that such reflectance is blocked wholly or partially by the light source and/or the holder of the light source and/or the supporting structure positioning the holder of the light source in place inside the housing. The apparatus according to the invention includes a lighting fixture having a housing, a light source and reflector in the housing, and a glass have reflecting properties on the housing. The reflector is configured to convergence all light to the same point in space. Either a top or bottom portion of the reflector is oriented relative to the light source and the lens so that reflected light from that portion travels perpendicularly into the lens. The remainder of the reflector is oriented relative to the portion so that all light continues to converge to the same point in space.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for adjusting a high intensity discharge arc tube to a predetermined (e.g., relatively horizontal) operating position in a light fixture regardless of aiming orientation of the light fixture towards a target. In one aspect, the light source is mounted in an independently pivotal yoke in the light fixture. A mechanical linkage proportionally pivots the light source relative to any pivoting motion of the fixture over a range of positions such that a selected light source orientation can be approximately maintained regardless of aiming orientation of the fixture.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system for compensating for lamp lumen depreciation. The method includes operating the lamp under rated wattage for a period towards the first part of operating life of the lamp. Operating wattage is increased at one or more later times. Energy savings are realized. The increases also restore at least some light lost by lamp lumen depreciation. The apparatus uses a timer to track operating time of the lamp. A few wattage changes made at spaced apart times can be made in a number of ways, including changing capacitance to the lamp, or using different taps on the lamp ballast. In one aspect the invention pertains to solid state sources. The invention can pertain to a variety of applications including wide area lighting, indoor lighting, pathway lighting, parking lot lighting, street lighting, under-counter or -cabinet lighting, and others.
