Abstract: A mounting bracket for a lighting system includes a body portion having an elongated shape and defining a top side and a bottom side opposing the top side. The body portion defines, within the bottom side, a plurality of channels spaced apart along an axial direction of the elongated shape, wherein one or more channels of the plurality of channels is configured to receive a mounting portion of a linear light fixture of the lighting system. The body portion further defines, within the top side, a plurality of holes spaced apart along the axial direction corresponding to the plurality of channels, wherein one or more holes of the plurality of holes extends into a corresponding channel of the plurality of channels and is configured to receive a fastening structure therethrough.
Abstract: A lens cover for a plurality of light emitting devices is provided. The lens cover includes a base substrate and an optical lens element. The optical lens element extends from the base substrate and defines a focal center. The optical lens element includes a length and a width and includes an exterior surface and interior surface. The exterior surface extends from the base substrate along an outer perimeter and is symmetrical about the focal center. The interior surface is symmetrical about the focal center.
Abstract: A light fixture includes a housing, and a lighting module. The housing defines first and second portions. The second portion defines a window. The lighting module is at least partially disposed in the second portion. The lighting module includes a submount, a plurality of light emitting diodes, a lens cover, and an encapsulating material. The plurality of light emitting diodes is coupled with the submount and is configured to project light through the window. The lens cover includes an exterior surface and overlies the plurality of light emitting diodes and the submount such that the lens cover and the submount define an interior therebetween. The encapsulating material substantially fills the interior.
Abstract: A light fixture includes a communication input and output, a plurality of LED lights, an LED driver, first and second control modules, and a feedback circuit. The communication input is configured to receive a control signal. The communication output is configured to relay the control signal to a downstream light fixture. The LED driver is electrically coupled with the plurality of LED lights. The first control module is in signal communication with the communication input and output and the LED driver and is configured to transmit a driver signal to the LED driver that controls operation of the plurality of LED lights. The second control module is in signal communication with the first control module. The feedback circuit is in signal communication with the second control module and the LED driver. The LED driver transmits a feedback signal to the second control module via the feedback circuit.
Abstract: A light fixture for an indoor grow facility is provided. The light fixture includes a plurality of LED lights, an LED driver circuit electrically coupled with the plurality of LED lights, and a controller that transmits a driver signal to the LED driver circuit for controlling operation of the plurality of LED lights. The controller receives a digital control signal and an analog control signal and is configured to determine whether a failure condition exists for the digital control signal to determine whether to use the digital control signal or the analog control signal for controlling the LED lights. That controller additionally or alternatively includes a conversion module that is configured to receive an original control signal and generate a secondary analog control signal and a secondary digital control signal from the original control signal.
Abstract: A light fixture includes a housing, a controller, and a lighting module. The housing includes a first portion and a second portion. The second portion of the housing defines a window. The controller is at least partially disposed within the first portion. The lighting module is at least partially disposed in the second portion and includes a submount and a plurality of light emitting diodes coupled with the submount. The plurality of light emitting diodes are configured to project light through the window. The housing defines a passageway that extends between the first portion and the second portion such that the lighting module and the controller are physically spaced from each other via the passageway. The passageway is configured to allow ambient air to flow through the housing between the first support portion and the second support portion to facilitate cooling of the lighting module and the controller.
Abstract: An adapter includes a power input and output, a control input and output, a detection module, and a signal conversion module. The control input is configured to receive an original driver signal. The detection module is in signal communication with the control input and is configured to detect a first communication protocol of the original driver signal. The signal conversion module is in signal communication with the detection module and is configured to convert the original driver signal into an LED-compatible driver signal that includes a second communication protocol that is different from the first communication protocol. The control output is in signal communication with the signal conversion module and is configured to facilitate transmission of the LED-compatible driver signal to an LED light fixture. The signal conversion module is configured to convert the original driver signal into the LED-compatible driver signal based upon the first and second communication protocols.
