Patent number: 11460170Abstract: A luminaire includes a lightguide panel that is configured to receive light from a light source through an edge thereof and emit light through major surfaces thereof. Further, the luminaire includes an electrochromic film that is disposed on one of the major surfaces of the lightguide panel to adjust an amount of light exiting through the one major surface by controlling an opacity of the electrochromic film. The opacity of the electrochromic film is controlled by controlling an electrical power supplied thereto. In another example, the electrochromic film is disposed on a major surface of a lens that is disposed below and spaced apart from a light source that emits light in a first direction. The opacity of the electrochromic film is controlled by controlling the electrical power supplied thereto to adjust an amount of light that is reflected by the lens to a second direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2021Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Westly Hetrick, William E. Getzinger, Chris M Clary, Alexander James Ross, Melisa Altamirano-Ruelas

Patent number: 10920970Abstract: A luminaire includes a light module, the light module including a first acoustic panel, a second acoustic panel, and a lightguide disposed between the first acoustic panel and the second acoustic panel. The lightguide can extend from the first acoustic panel and the second acoustic panel. A frame is disposed between the first acoustic panel and the second acoustic panel and secures an edge of the lightguide within the light module. A light emitting diode is located within the frame and oriented to emit light into the edge of the lightguide.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2020Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Alexander James Ross, Sohana Arni

Patent number: 10386571Abstract: A system of light emitting diodes and lightguides can produce and distribute light in a luminaire. Two or more lightguides can be mounted adjacent one another so that their edges extend alongside one another. An optic can couple light between the light emitting diodes and the edges of the adjacent lightguides. The optic, which can be another lightguide in some examples, can mix, blend, or homogenize light received from the light emitting diodes and distribute the light among the adjacent lightguides. The optic can mix light emitted from multiple light emitting diodes so that light enters the adjacent lightguides uniformly along the edges of the lightguide, thereby eliminating or reducing any bright spots or visual inconsistencies. The optic can further allocate light uniformly among the adjacent lightguides.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2016Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Adam Moore Foy, Eric T.
