Abstract:
An illustrative lighting system provides a single light housing and an associated lens cover that together interchangeably receive one of a selection of heat sink trays and one of a selection of light reflectors. Each of the selection of heat sink trays includes a different number and/or orientation of light emitter packages. Each the selection of light reflectors includes openings and surfaces matching the number and orientation of light emitter packages for one of the selection of heat sink trays.
Abstract:
A wireless device system can include lighting devices, sensing devices, and other wireless devices in a wireless mesh local area network. The devices are configured for rapid provisioning with provisioned site network data by using a process in which each device stores data for a default provisioning network, and a provisioning device, for example a smart phone or other mobile device, is used to wirelessly connect with at least one of the devices in the default provisioning network, enabling distant wireless devices to be reached by relay of messages in the default provisioning network. Devices can be individually provided a new network address, for example, from the provisioned site network data, and all devices are provided remaining data from the provisioned site network data using the mesh network broadcast feature, thus provisioning and switching devices near simultaneously from the default provisioning network to the provisioned site network.
Abstract:
A lighting fixture configured to expand and collapse, and methods for expanding and collapsing a light fixture are disclosed. Embodiments of the lighting fixture include a lighting fixture with a movable section that collapses into at least one cavity in a base housing for storage and shipment, and extends from the cavity for operation. In the collapsed configuration the lighting fixture fits into a smaller container than when the lighting fixture is in the expanded configuration. In some embodiments a locking member locks the movable section into its extended position and can be retracted by a user by manually disengaging the locking member. Accessories and extenders that can be attached to the lighting fixture can be stored in the one or more cavities into which the movable section is stowed in the collapsed configuration.
Abstract:
Systems and methods that permit initial selection of a lighting fixture output characteristic and inhibit later change of the lighting fixture output characteristic are disclosed. Embodiments include one or more devices that inhibit a lighting fixture control switch from being moved between two different positions. In some embodiments the control switch extends through an aperture in the a housing of the lighting fixture and the one or more devices are inserted into the aperture and embrace the control switch in one of the control switch's operational positions. In some embodiments the configuration of the apertures and the devices permits the devices to be inserted into the apertures in a single orientation. Some embodiments include devices with an outer surface that defines the switch embracing portion, and some embodiments include devices that are difficult to remove by hand after insertion into the aperture.
Abstract:
A luminaire includes a first plurality of lighting elements, a housing, and a first lightguide. The housing includes a body and first and second edge frames coupled with the body. The first and second edge frames are positioned on opposing sides of the body and are separated by a first distance. The first plurality of lighting elements is further positioned on the first edge frame. The first lightguide is positioned along the first edge frame in proximity to the first plurality of lighting elements and is configured to receive light from the first plurality of lighting elements. Further, the first lightguide extends a second distance along a plane toward the second edge frame, with the second distance being less than the first distance.
Abstract:
A wireless controller for detecting events and controlling illumination of one or more light fixture is disclosed. The device includes a wireless transceiver, a processor, an input sensor, and an output control module. The wireless controller can be used with a the wireless lighting control system, including one using a wireless mesh network. The controller is configurable for the input sensor and output control module operating in either an interdependent mode or an independent mode. In the interdependent mode the input sensor and output control module are logically/functionally related, and in the independent mode the input sensor and output control module are logically/functionally unrelated.

Abstract:
Illumination control systems and methods, including those for influencing circadian rhythm, are disclosed. Embodiments include a control device capable of obtaining desired color temperature (e.g., local daylight) information, generating a color temperature value, and outputting a signal including the color temperature value. Embodiments further include a server having means for obtaining at least one of geographical location information and time of day information relative to the server, a processor to determine local daylight information, and a wireless transmitter to broadcast the signal within a site system. Embodiments further include one or more lighting control devices to control lighting devices, each lighting control having a wireless receiver to continuously listen for and receive the signal broadcasted by the server, and a lighting driver to change the lighting output of the coupled lighting device according to the detected signal.
