  • Patent number: 8754832
    Abstract: A system and method for accenting regions of a layer including a lighting system including a plurality of light sources operable to emit polychromatic light and a layer having two or more regions configured to diffusively scatter light within a wavelength range while absorbing light not within the wavelength range. The regions may be configured to represent recognizable characters or images, and may form a sequence. The lighting system may highlight the regions individually or simultaneously. The layer may be attachable to a surface and may further include non-highlighted regions. The system may also include appliqués applied to a surface and a cover layer transparent to certain wavelengths of light that the appliqués scatter.

  • Patent number: 8730558
    Abstract: A lighting device is described for receiving source light within a source wavelength range, converting the source light into a converted light, and reflecting the converted light to a desired output direction. The lighting device may use a micro electromechanical system (MEMS) device to receive and redirect the source light to the desired output direction. A conversion coating may be applied to the operative surface of the MEMS device to convert the source light into a converted light.

  • Publication number: 20140133153
    Abstract: A luminaire may include an electrical base, an optic defining an optical chamber, an intermediate member that may be positioned between the electrical base and the optic, and a light source. The intermediate member may include a main body and a plurality of structural supports that may be connected to the main body which may be configured to carry an upper member. A plurality of voids may be positioned between the respective plurality of structural supports to position the optical chamber in optical communication with the environment surrounding the luminaire therethrough. The upper member may be configured to carry the optic and the light source may be electrically coupled to the electrical base and may be positioned within the optical chamber. The optic may be configured to redirect at least a portion of light incident thereupon in the direction of the plurality of voids.

  • Publication number: 20140111966
    Abstract: A lighting device may include a housing configured to be attached to a thoroughfare surface. The housing may include a top surface, a proximal face, a distal face, and first and second sidewalls extending between the proximal face and the distal face. Circuitry may be carried by the housing. A first primary optic may be carried by the housing adjacent the first sidewall to define a first optical chamber, and a first light source may be positioned within the first optical chamber and carried by the housing adjacent the first sidewall. The first sidewall may have a first slanted section, and an axis of the first slanted section may skew to a longitudinal axis of the lighting device.

  • Patent number: 8702259
    Abstract: A light converting device is described for receiving source light within a source wavelength range, converting the source light into a converted light, and reflecting the converted light to a desired output direction. The lighting device may use a color conversion occlusion to receive the source light and reflect a converted light in the desired output direction. The converted light may be intermediately reflected by the enclosure, or alternatively passed through the enclosure, as it is directed in the desired output direction.

  • Patent number: 8680457
    Abstract: A lighting system which includes a light source to emit illuminating light and sense reflected light from an environment. The light source may be included in an array to be selectively enabled and disabled by the controller. The array may include a plurality of light sources, each of which may be sensitive to a wavelength respective to each light source, thus providing the array sensitivity to one or more wavelength. Each of the plurality of light sources in the array may be selectively operable between a sensing operation and an emitting operation. The sensing operation may be defined by the light source sensing the environmental light, and the emitting operation being defined by the light source emitting the illuminating light. The controller may selectively operate the light source between the passive operation and the active operation.
