    摘要: Example embodiments relate to systems and methods for driving and controlling light sources. One embodiment includes a luminaire system. The luminaire system includes a support that includes a plurality of first light sources and a plurality of second light sources. The luminaire system also includes one or more first optical elements associated with the plurality of first light sources. Further, the luminaire system includes one or more second optical elements associated with the plurality of second light sources. Additionally, the luminaire system includes a drive and control means configured to drive and control the plurality of first light sources according to a first profile and the plurality of second light sources according to a second profile different from the first profile. The first profile defines a first drive output as a function of time and the second profile defines a second drive output as a function of time.

    摘要: Example embodiments relate to compact luminaire heads. One example luminaire head includes a thermally conductive metal body that includes a plate-like portion, a tube portion, and at least one cooling fin. The plate-like portion extends in a longitudinal direction of the metal body and having a flat first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The tube portion extends in the longitudinal direction at the second surface. The at least one cooling fin extends away from the second surface adjacent to the tube portion. The luminaire head also includes at least one support substrate with a plurality of light emitting elements. The at least one support substrate is arranged against the first surface. The tube portion is shaped to receive in a first open end thereof a rigid cylindrical end portion of a mounting base, such as a pole for the luminaire head.

    摘要: Example embodiments relate to light systems with controllable branches of light elements. One example light system includes at least two parallel branches, each branch including a series connection of a plurality of light elements and a switching element. The at least two parallel branches are intended to share a common regulated current source configured for feeding the at least two parallel branches. The light system also includes a control module having a supply input line and at least two control output lights. The at least two control output lines are connected for controlling the switching elements of the at least two parallel branches. The control module optionally includes a galvanic isolation. The control module is configured for controlling the switching elements of the at least two parallel branches according to at least two different control schemes: a first control scheme and a second control scheme.

One example maintenance method for replacing a component in a luminaire assembly includes obtaining desired operational information of the luminaire assembly. The method also includes obtaining identification information of a replacement programmable component. Additionally, the method includes creating a feature file based on the desired operational information and the component identification information. The feature file includes programming instructions for programming the replacement programmable component to obtain the desired operation as defined by the desired operational information. Further, the method includes replacing the previous component by the replacement programmable component. In addition, the method includes configuring the replacement programmable component using the created feature file.
