Abstract: A modular system for illuminating store shelving includes one or more power supplies hidden from view to power vertically extending tracks which power light assemblies attached to the shelves. Wire management tracks are also provided so there are no dangling wires extending from the tracks to the light assemblies and all wires are generally hidden from view.

Abstract: A composite light source includes at least eight illumination panels in a layout. Each of the illumination panels in the layout is adjacent at least one other of the illumination panels. All of the illumination panels emit light of the same chromaticity as one another. Each illumination panel emits light characterized by one of at least first, second, and third discrete levels of luminous intensity. At least one of the illumination panels emits light at the first level of luminous intensity; at least one of the illumination panels emits light at the second level of luminous intensity; and at least one of the illumination panels emits light at the third level of luminous intensity.

Abstract: A composite light source includes a plurality of illumination panels, that emit light of a fixed color and a variable luminous intensity. Over time, the luminous intensities of at least two of the illumination panels vary, while a combined luminous intensity of the illumination panels remains about constant. Another composite light source includes a plurality of illumination panels that emit light. Each illumination panel of at least a first subset of the plurality of illumination panels emits the light with a first luminous intensity, and each illumination panel of at least a second subset of the plurality of illumination panels emits the light with a second luminous intensity that is different from the first luminous intensity.

Abstract: A two-component luminaire for illuminating an architectural space includes a housing with a panel that faces the architectural space. A peripheral edge of the housing, having first and second edge segments, forms an output aperture that faces the architectural space. A plane bisecting the output aperture defines a boundary between an indirect lighting region and a direct lighting region. The luminaire includes a primary optical subsystem arranged within the housing so as to be hidden from the direct lighting region by the first panel section, and configured to generate and emit light, through the output aperture, solely into the indirect lighting region, and a secondary optical subsystem, disposed within the housing and configured to generate and emit light through the output aperture.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for a lighting system for illuminating aisles with shelving. A rail can include a plurality of LEDs that extend along the length of the rail. The rail can be coupled with a node that includes various components along with an egress light source. The LEDs can be used to primarily illuminate the shelving on both or one side of the aisle. The egress light can be used to illuminate the aisle during times of emergency, at night, or when egress may be required.

Abstract: An electro-mechanical connection is provided for transmitting power to one or more light sources affixed to the shelves of a shelving system. The connection eliminates the need to run wires the entire distance from the light source to a source of power and enables efficient and accurate coupling of the components. This is achieved by provided a slim track strip extending the height of the shelving unit and a specially designed twist connector for tapping off wiring harnesses from the slim track at the level of individual shelves where the harness leads to shelf-mounted light sources.

Abstract: An annulus shaped luminaire includes an annular structure that includes one or more luminous panels, and transition structure that couples a support structure of the luminaire with the annular structure. The one or more luminous panels emit light that illuminates an area adjacent to the luminaire.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to wall recessed two-component luminaires. The two components can include a primary optical subsystem and a secondary optical subsystem. The primary optical subsystem can provide indirect lighting, illuminate an architectural space upward toward a ceiling, and/or have greater luminous flux than the secondary optical subsystem. The secondary optical subsystem can provide direct lighting, illuminate an architectural space horizontally and/or downward, provide lit appearance, provide direct view color and/or color gradients, provide direct view luminance and/or luminous gradients, and/or provide lighting for ambience.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for a linear lighting system with a plurality of discrete light sources. Other embodiments of the invention include heat dissipation techniques and apparatus for a linear light system. Other embodiments of the invention include a two component lighting system that includes rails and nodes. In some embodiments, the lighting and control aspects can be divided between the rail and node. In yet other embodiments a linear lens providing a unique photometric distribution is provided.
