    Abstract: An example lighting device includes a plurality of individually controllable illumination light sources configured to be driven by electrical power to emit light. The lighting device further includes an optical lens positioned over the illumination light sources for beam shaping or steering. The optical lens has a plurality of aspherical, spherical, planar, or freeform surfaces, including an input surface coupled to receive light from the illumination light sources and an output surface. The input surface includes an input peripheral portion and an input central portion. The input peripheral portion extends from the illumination light sources and includes a plurality of input peripheral segments that are discontinuous and in aggregate curve from a first region of the input surface near the illumination light sources to a second region of the input surface near the input central portion.

    Abstract: A lighting system uses a multi-pixel lighting matrix, for example, having an n by m pixel matrix of light emitters, to provide illumination from a ceiling or wall. Instead of using an actual image or video, which may be distracting, the examples in this case manipulate a frequency domain representation, for example, in Fourier transform space. The representation is transformed to real time image space, to drive the matrix of the lighting device. Manipulation in the frequency domain can maintain image characteristics suitable to an intended illumination application yet produce an output illumination image on the matrix that is less obviously an image of an object and less likely to draw unnecessary attention from an occupant of the illuminated space.

    Abstract: A lighting device or system is configured to control of one or more parameters of light output, such as ON/OFF status, intensity when ON, color characteristics and position or orientation of light output (e.g. via a motorized luminaire control). The device or system may have other output capability, e.g. display projection or audio. Sensors or other input devices are responsive to the user. Responsive to user input, sensed activity, and/or acquired information, the device or system, controls a light source in accordance with a lighting control function. Operation of the light source and the lighting control function may be modified based on learning by the device or system.

    Abstract: An exemplary lighting system utilizes intelligent system elements, such as lighting devices, user interfaces for lighting control or the like and possibly sensors, and utilizes network communication amongst such intelligent system elements. Some processing functions performed within the system are implemented on a distributed processing basis, by two or more of the intelligent elements of the lighting system. Distributed processing, for example, may enable use of available processor and/or memory resources of a number of intelligent system elements to process a particular job. Another distributed processing approach might entail programming to configure two or more of the intelligent system elements to implement multiple instances of a server functionality with respect to client functionalities implemented on intelligent system elements.

    Abstract: A wearable user interface device provides a display (e.g. an augmented reality display) for a user/wearer. The device includes a camera or other optical sensor and wireless communication capability. The camera or sensor provides an input to detect and possibly communicate with a lighting device or system. The communications and display capabilities allow the device to obtain and present lighting-related information to the wearer. For example, before installation, the device may identify a light fixture and communicate with a server to obtain information about fixture installation or configuration. As another example, the user can operate the device to identify and communicate with an installed fixture, to configure the fixture into a system (e.g. as part of a lighting group) or to check or repair fixture or system firmware. Hence, the device provides a wearable, interactive user interface for a variety of lighting-related functions.

    Abstract: A ultraviolet (UV) intensity indicator might use a UV responsive lumiphore to provide a converted, visible light level proportional to received UV light intensity for comparison to a visible brightness reference. For a desired UV intensity, the converted light should normally appear at least as bright as the reference light. For undesired UV, e.g. in a harmful wavelength range, the converted light should appear dimmer than the reference for normal operation and/or appear as bright as or brighter than the reference during excessive emission of the potentially hazardous UV emission. Alternatively, saturable lumiphores may provide different color outputs responsive to UV intensities for comparison to a multi-colored reference. Other examples contemplate use of a lumiphore to convert UV light to provide a visible light input to a visible light meter, such that an illuminance or brightness measurement by the meter gives a proportional representation of intensity of the UV light.

    Abstract: A lighting system or method adaptively illuminates a face of an architectural panel. An example illumination system includes an optic and a pixel controllable array of solid state light emitters. When installed, the optic is aimed with its optical axis at an acute angle relative to a face of the panel. The array is coupled to selectively emit light from emitters at pixels of the array through the optic toward different regions of the face of the architectural panel. A controller is coupled to control the individual light emitters, via a driver of the emitters. The controller controls the emitters of the array so as to selectively control output intensity of the light emitters when emitting light through the optic toward selected regions of the face of the architectural panel, so as to adaptively illuminate surface topology features of the face of the architectural panel.
