  • Patent number: 11105476
    Abstract: A luminaire can include a housing having at least one outer surface that forms a cavity. The luminaire can also include at least one electrical component disposed, at least in part, within the cavity. The luminaire can further include an electrical cable having a first end and a second end, where the first end is coupled to the at least one electrical component. The luminaire can also include a switch coupled to the electrical cable, where the switch is disposed remotely from the housing, where the switch has multiple positions, wherein each position of the switch corresponds to a discrete photometric distribution emitted by one or more light sources of the luminaire.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190334735
    Abstract: A system can include a first electrical device having at least one electrical device component used to operate the first electrical device to perform a function for which the first electrical device is designed to perform. The electrical device can also include a sound-controlled system integrated with the electrical device. The sound-controlled system can include at least one audio component integrated with the electrical device, and a controller communicably coupled to the at least one audio component. The at least one audio component can capture a sound. The at least one audio component can send the sound to the controller, where the sound, when received by the controller, enables the controller. The controller can be enabled independent of the function performed by at least one electrical device component.

  • Publication number: 20190335567
    Abstract: A system can include a first electrical device that includes at least one electrical device component used to perform a first function which the first electrical device is designed to perform. The first electrical device can also include a sound-controlled system integrated with the first electrical device. The sound-controlled system can include at least one first audio component integrated with the first electrical device, and a controller communicably coupled to the at least one audio component. The controller interprets the first audible instruction for the at least one electrical device component of the first electrical device to perform the first function. The controller instructs the at least one electrical device component to perform the first function, identifies at least one second function that complements the first function, and instructs at least one second electrical device to perform the at least one second function to complement the first function.

  • Publication number: 20190334734
    Abstract: A system can include a first electrical device, a network manager, and at least one second electrical device. The first electrical device includes at least one electrical device component used to operate the first electrical device to perform a function for which the first electrical device is designed to perform. The first electrical device can also include a sound-controlled system integrated with the first electrical device. The sound-controlled system can include at least one audio component integrated with the first electrical device, and a controller communicably coupled to the at least one audio component. The at least one audio component can capture a sound that enables the controller independent of the function performed by at least one electrical device component. The first controller can send the first sound to the network manager. The network manager can control the at least one second electrical device based on the first sound.
