    摘要: A luminaire is disclosed comprising one or more side members having one or more light modules associated therewith and defining a recess. The light module having one or more light sources, one or more light directing members, and a lens enclosing the light sources and directing members in the module. The light directing members can comprise reflector modules of different configurations to provide different light distributions from the associated one or more light sources. The light modules can be configured to cast different light distributions to combine to form the desired light distribution. The light modules can be designed or exchanged to create any desired light distribution from the same side members. The light module can comprise a tray such that the lens is sealed to the tray keeping moisture from entering the module.

    摘要: A method and circuit to control the intensity of lights, illumination fixtures, and displays using pulses of a fixed duration and a fixed frequency (FD/FF) is provided. In particular, the method may be used to control one more light sources. By varying the number of pulses in a control burst, the total current flowing through the light source may be precisely controlled providing greater accuracy than other methods, such as, for example, PWM or variable pulse frequency. The FD/FF technique may be used in conjunction with any number of light sources, and finds particular application in LED displays and for any type of LED illumination fixture.

    摘要: Luminaires are disclosed that include refractive and/or reflective structures that can provide or distribute lighting for a given area with high uniformity and efficiency. The structures can be used to distribute light from one or more light sources for lighting target areas with a desired light distribution. The lighting structures can be included in light strips or luminaires. Such luminaire can be utilized in place of fluorescent lights and can facilitate quick and easy retrofit for previous fluorescent lighting applications. The disclosed techniques and systems (including components and structures) can be particularly useful when employing one or more LEDs as light sources.

    摘要: A lighting device having a support module comprising a disk for supporting LEDs and having an outer perimeter with a curved portion and a housing with an inner surface having a curved portion configured to receive the curved portion of the support module disk so that the disk can be aimed by external adjustment devices with the curved portions of the disk and housing remaining in contact. The external adjustment device facilitates aiming of the disk without the need to open the sealed LED module. Heat from the LEDs and/or LED mounting assembly can be transferred via the contact of the curved surfaces to the outside air while the module is tilted, e.g., up to 15 degrees, or more, from vertical.
