  • Patent number: 11032885
    Abstract: A single solid state luminaire product is field-configurable to a plurality of discrete coordinated color temperature (CCT) and/or maximum luminosity settings. A field-actuated control circuit may control a current ratio control circuit, which directs drive current from a power supply to selected ones, or in selected ratios to multiple ones, of heterogeneous LED strings. Additionally or alternatively the control circuit may control the power supply, to select an overall maximum level of drive current, which determines the maximum luminosity of the luminaire. Inputs for CCT and/or maximum luminosity are input to the field-actuated control circuit prior to the luminaire being removed from its product packaging. Embodiments allow a distributor to order and stock a large inventory of substantially identical luminaires from the manufacturer, yet still offer customers a variety of different CCT and/or maximum luminosity products.

  • Patent number: 10883672
    Abstract: Solid state lighting devices are configured to provide aggregate emissions that include emissions from solid state light emitters and emissions that are received by preferential reflector structures. Preferential reflectors have non-uniform spectral reflectivities that preferentially reflect certain wavelengths of emissions that are received from solid state light emitters. Solid state lighting devices include solid state light emitters of different correlated color temperature (CCT) values and one or more preferential reflectors configured to shift CCT values of aggregate emissions of such solid state lighting devices, such as to provide tunable aggregate emissions between multiple CCT values along or near a black body locus.

  • Patent number: 10660174
    Abstract: A single solid state luminaire product is field-configurable to a plurality of discrete coordinated color temperature (CCT) and maximum luminosity settings. A field-actuated control circuit controls a current ratio control circuit, which directs drive current from a power supply to selected ones, or in selected ratios to multiple ones, of heterogeneous LED strings. The control circuit may also control the power supply, to select an overall maximum level of drive current, which determines the maximum luminosity of the luminaire. In one embodiment, inputs to the field-actuated control circuit are input from exterior to the luminaire product packaging. Embodiments allow a distributor to order and stock a large inventory of substantially identical luminaires from the manufacturer, yet still offer customers a variety of different CCT and maximum luminosity products.

  • Patent number: 10260685
    Abstract: An LED lamp includes a LED assembly comprising at least one LED operable to emit light when energized through an electrical path. A heat sink structure is thermally coupled to the LED assembly for dissipating heat to the ambient environment. An aromatic structure is thermally coupled to the heat sink structure such that the aromatic structure is heated by the heat dissipated from the heat sink.

  • Publication number: 20170009957
    Abstract: A linear LED lighting system, assembly and/or fixture distributes luminance efficiently in certain applications, such as for ceiling lighting used in certain retail environments. According to example embodiments of the invention, a linear LED lighting system includes at least two tilted, parabolic reflecting surfaces and a linear array of LED devices, wherein at least some of the LED devices are substantially disposed at a focus line of at least one of the tilted, parabolic reflecting surfaces. A diffuser or diffusive lens can be disposed adjacent to the parabolic reflecting surfaces where light exits the system to provide color mixing and/or eliminate potential hot spots. The tilt of the reflecting surfaces can be changed to adjust the illumination pattern. A lighting system according to example embodiments of the invention can be designed for retrofit installation or as a complete fixture.
