    摘要: A network of active sensors in a control system is considered. The active sensors, which may be fixed-infrastructure sensors, provide presence detection information to a distributed lighting system. The active sensors communicate by transmitting probe signals. The communication of probe signals may result in cross-interference which may vary in time. Cross-interference is detected, and can later be avoided, by determining a difference between signals received in a first part of a timeslot and signals received in a second part of the timeslot. In order to do so probe signals comprising two non-zero pulses are transmitted in respective parts of the timeslot. Applications are, for example, active presence sensors in lighting control applications in indoor as well as outdoor environments.

    摘要: The invention relates to a luminaire and a lighting system. The luminaire includes first and second light sources adapted to emit light beams of two different beam patterns encompassed within a single chamber with specular outer walls that are parallel to the optical axis of the beam patterns of both types of light sources. Employing a chamber having specular outer walls aligned with the optical axis of the beam patterns of both types of light sources and adapted to specularly reflect at least a portion of light incident thereon allows more uniform appearance of the luminaire while preserving the respective total beam patterns of the beams produced by the first and second light sources as the light beams are incident on the exit window of the chamber.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a light-emitting arrangement (20) comprising a light source (22) and a scattering member (24). The scattering member (24) is arranged in a three-dimensional shape in front of the light source (22) in a light output direction. Different regions of the scattering member have different optical characteristics to provide a desired total light output in respect of brightness level, scattering function and beam shape.

    摘要: A first lighting device comprises an electromagnetic sensor operable to receive an electromagnetic signal from at least one other lighting device, an acoustic sensor operable to receive an acoustic signal from the other lighting device, and a signal processing module. The signal processing module is configured to determine a distance between the first lighting device and the other lighting device by comparing the acoustic and electromagnetic signals received from the other lighting device. For example, the signals may be emitted when the other device detects occupancy in a space, and the first device may control its light output in dependence on receipt of the signals and the distance from the device that detected the occupancy.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for determining presence of objects in an area (207) surrounding a luminaire (200). The luminaire (200) includes a first light source (203), a second light source (205), and a sensor (216). The first light source (203) is configured to emit a first light beam (204) adapted to illuminate a first predefined area. The second light source (205) is configured to emit a second light beam (206) adapted to illuminate a background area surrounding the first predefined area. The sensor (216) is configured to detect a back-reflected first light beam (210) and a back-reflected second light beam (212). The method includes determining whether objects are present in the area surrounding the luminaire based on a comparison of information indicative of a signal strength of the detected back-reflected first light beam (210) and information indicative of a signal strength of the detected back-reflected second light beam (212).

The method includes determining the distance from the sensor to the luminaire based, at least partially, on a comparison of information indicative of a signal strength of the detected back-reflected first light beam and information indicative of a signal strength of the detected back-reflected second light beam.
