  • Patent number: 11129258
    Abstract: The sensing type lamp fixture executes an initialization procedure to calculate an ambient brightness value to determine whether entering the nighttime and to generate a nighttime-entering command. The sensing type lamp fixture will light up and start timing a nighttime value and automatically adjust the brightness at various adjustment times during the night. The sensing type lamp fixture will continuously detect the ambient brightness to determine whether it has entered the daytime. If not, the nighttime value will continue to be timed until entering the daytime. Then the lamp fixture will be off and stop timing the nighttime value and generate a midnight time of the next night. The sensing type lamp fixture calculates the brightness adjustment times of the next night according to the midnight time, and automatically adjusts the light-on time of the sensing type lamp fixture and automatically adjusts the brightness to save power and energy.

  • Patent number: 9554451
    Abstract: A wallmount dual beam sensing device has a microcontroller unit (MCU) mounted inside a housing and electrically connected to an ambient light detector, an infrared detector and a microwave sensing module. The MCU determines if the infrared detector and the microwave sensing module are activated according to detected luminance by the ambient light detector and outputs a control signal when the infrared detector and the microwave sensing module are activated and any one of the infrared detector and the microwave sensing module detects the presence of people in a monitored environment. Accordingly, the infrared detector and the microwave sensing module statically and dynamically sense the monitored environment in a 3D manner at the same time, thereby ensuring a stable and reliable sensing result.

  • Patent number: 9372121
    Abstract: A sensing device with a glare shield has an infrared sensor and a glare shield. The infrared sensor has a body and a lens hood. The lens hood is mounted around an outer periphery of the body. The glare shield is conical, is detachably mounted around the lens hood of the infrared sensor, and extends in a direction away from the body of the infrared sensor. The glare shield prevents the infrared sensor from being affected by glare emitted from adjacent lighting devices. Accordingly, the sensing device avoids incorrect judgment of environmental luminance caused by lighting devices nearby and therefore generates less misoperation, so that the goal of being more power-saving can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 9345108
    Abstract: A self-adaptive brightness sensor light performs a brightness level adjusting procedure upon activating a lamp body thereof. The brightness level adjusting procedure has steps of acquiring an ambient brightness level, determining if the ambient brightness level is greater than a daytime bright level, and if positive, generating a new daytime brightness level to make it greater than the ambient brightness level, and deactivating the lamp body according to the new daytime brightness level. The daytime brightness level can be automatically adjusted after the lamp body is activated, so as to avoid repeated on-and-off condition of the sensor lights that occur due to immediate deactivation of the sensor light after the sensor light is turned on.

  • Patent number: 8624526
    Abstract: A sensing device, for controlling an LED lighting equipment, and more especially for electrical connection with at least one LED lighting equipment that can be driven by a DC power supply, is disclosed. The sensing device, which can be supplied with an external DC power source, comprises a control module, a signal adjusting unit, an object detecting unit, and a manual time-delay adjustor. The control module can send a control signal train of PWM or PFM to the signal adjusting unit, which will in turn send an amplified signal train of PWM or PFM to the LED lighting equipment, so as to control the illuminating level of the equipment. Thus, the problems of the conventional light modulators, resulting from the use of an AC power supply, can be alleviated. Also, the associated cost of the equipment can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20130284932
    Abstract: A flat lens with multiple focal lengths has a lens segment. The lens segment is flat and has multiple convex lenses. The convex lenses are mounted on one of the surfaces of the lens segment, and have multiple focal lengths. With the different focal lengths of the convex lenses, multiple distances of detection of a sensor behind the lens segment can be extended to different lengths, and further increase the range of detection. Besides, with different distances of detection, the accuracy of detection would be enhanced effectively, and the erroneous estimate on a volume of the object would reduce effectively. Furthermore, because a shape of the lens segment is flat, the lens as described is more innovative and aesthetically appealing, and is relatively easier to match the building's design or decoration.
