Publication number: 20230313980Abstract: Provided is a support system for replacing a linear fluorescent lamp with a light emitting diode (LED) module. The support system includes an elongated support member having one or more channel structures extending along substantially an entire length of the elongated support member. One or more ends of the elongated support member are configured for engagement with a socket. The support system includes at least one LED module mounted in mechanical engagement with the one or more channel structures by a fastening mechanism. The at least one LED module is positionable along a portion of the length of the channel structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Alin Ionut PETRESCU, Bruno D'AMICO, Barron LEE, Robert David SPIVOCK, Michel DOSS

Publication number: 20230240205Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a horticultural luminaire and method for assembling the horticultural luminaire. The horticultural luminaire may include a center body having a top surface and a bottom surface and comprising three or more items of material. A driver may be coupled to each of the items of material. The horticultural luminaire may also include a plurality of arms onto which lighting units are mounted. For each arm of the plurality of arms, a first end of the arm may be detachably coupled to a corresponding item of the three or more items of material. A corresponding driver may provide electrical power to light the lighting units on each arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2020Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Yongli FENG, Honglei GAO, Robert SPIVOCK, Michel DOSS

Patent number: 9373961Abstract: The present subject matter is directed to an adaptive load circuit for use with traffic light control systems so as to permit operation using low current consumption lamps where the traffic light control systems were originally manufactured for operation with higher current consuming lamps. The adaptive load circuit provides a mechanism whereby an existing traffic light control system is fooled into accepting use of a low current consuming lamp by creating a specifically timed signal during an interval that the traffic light control system normally checks to determined lamp load characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2012Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: GE LIGHTING SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Shahriyar Mohammediyan, Truong-Khoa Nguyen, Christopher Yong, Michel Doss, Christian Poirier

Patent number: 8764266Abstract: A repetitive lighting fixture will alternate between at least two different illuminated images projected in a desired direction. The fixture includes edge-lit flat panels that are configured and/or overlayed to reproduce one or more desired images. Each panel is made of light-transmissive material, which optionally may contain colorant. Each edge-lit flat panel contains optics coupled with a second planar surface of the panel. The optics are arranged to define a desired shape of an image and are configured so as to cause light distributed within the panel to exit a first planar surface of the panel. Each panel has its own light source that projects light into a light transmitting edge of the panel. The panel's light source can include light emitting diodes (LED) that only or selectively illuminate the specific optics of that panel.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2012Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: GE Lighting Solutions, LLCInventors: Lucas Urtiga, Michel Doss, Steve Germain

Patent number: 8717194Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, systems and methods for monitoring one or more operating parameters of a traffic lamp and adjusting light output of one or more light sources thereof to correct for one or more degradation factors are provided. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, systems and methods for monitoring one or more operating parameters of a traffic lamp and generating an indication if end of life is detected with the traffic lamp, where end of life is determined based on the one or more operating parameters. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, systems and methods for monitoring one or more operating parameters of a traffic lamp and entering the traffic lamp into a self-protected mode if a fault is detected with the one or more operating parameters.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2010Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: GE Lighting Solutions, LLCInventors: Truong-Khoa Nguyen, Benoit Essiambre, Michel Doss, Christian Poirier, Morné Neser
