Abstract:
Described are integrated lighting systems incorporating ambient lighting, task lighting, and/or emergency lighting into a single, aesthetically pleasing lighting system. Main line power is directed to an ambient lighting fixture, and then may be transferred to one or more additional ambient lighting fixtures. The ambient lighting fixtures may include a power supply and receptacle to transfer excess power to a task or emergency lighting fixture through a low-power cord. The cord and receptacle allow the task or emergency lighting fixture to be easily connected or disconnected from the ambient lighting fixtures without the need for a trained electrician. A similar power delivery system may also be used to easily connect or disconnect emergency lighting fixtures from a dedicated emergency power source. The resulting lighting system allows for easy adjustment or tailoring of the lighting conditions to the changing needs of a space without requiring special training or personnel.
Abstract:
A lighting unit includes an architectural panel having an overall thickness that is measured between a first surface that is configured to be exposed to light output by the lighting unit and a second surface that is opposite the first surface, and a light fixture embedded in the architectural panel. The light fixture includes a solid state light source, an optic, a power supply and a driver circuit that at least partially embedded in the recess of the panel. The light fixture is configured to output light in an output direction extending out away from the first surface of the panel. The light fixture extends from the first surface of the panel in a direction opposite the output direction by a distance that is less than the overall thickness of the architectural panel.
