  • Publication number: 20240003518
    Abstract: Lighting system including visible-light source, optical system, mounting system, and control system. Visible-light source includes plurality of semiconductor light-emitting devices (SLEDs) and selectably generates: visible-light emissions having cyan-ish color point; and visible-light emissions having orange-ish color point. Optical system and mounting system are integrated with visible-light source. Optical system is arranged to combine together, into combined light emissions, visible-light emissions from SLEDs among plurality of SLEDs. Mounting system is arranged for directing combined light emissions as up-light emissions. Control system is coupled with visible-light source and selectably causes visible-light emissions to have cyan-ish color point or orange-ish color point.

  • Patent number: 11700678
    Abstract: A fixture configuration module comprises a connector configured to be removably coupled with a light fixture. The fixture configuration module also comprises fixture control circuitry communicatively coupled to the connector and configured to control the light fixture to produce light in accordance with a range of a lighting parameter. The range includes at least a subset of values supported by the light fixture for producing light. The fixture configuration module further comprises range control circuitry communicatively coupled to the fixture control circuitry and configured to wirelessly receive the range at least while the connector is uncoupled from the light fixture, and designate the range to the fixture control circuitry while the connector is coupled to the light fixture.
