  • Publication number: 20220252239
    Abstract: Lighting system including bowl reflector, visible-light source, central reflector, and optically-transparent body. Bowl reflector has central axis, and rim defining emission aperture, and first visible-light-reflective surface defining portion of cavity in bowl reflector. First visible-light-reflective surface includes parabolic surface. Visible-light source is located in cavity and configured for generating visible-light emissions from semiconductor light-emitting device. Central reflector includes second visible-light-reflective surface, having convex flared funnel shape and having first peak facing toward visible-light source. Optically-transparent body has first base being spaced apart from second base and having side wall extending between first and second bases. Concave flared funnel-shaped surface of second base faces toward convex flared funnel-shaped second visible-light reflective surface of central reflector.

  • Publication number: 20220217821
    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.
