Abstract: A luminaire includes a luminaire control circuit and a disinfection light source to emit a disinfection light in an ultraviolet (UV) band for disinfecting a vicinity of a physical space of a target pathogen that is exposed to the disinfection light. The UV band is 200 nanometers (nm) to 230 nm wavelength. The luminaire receives a control signal based on at least the mounting height of the luminaire. The luminaire adjusts a UV radiation threshold limit based on the control signal. The luminaire controls, via a driver circuit, the disinfection light source over a dose cycle to emit the disinfection light continuously or during the plurality of periods for disinfecting the vicinity to substantially obtain the target pathogen UV radiation level and restrict the total UV radiation threshold exposure level by the adjusted UV radiation threshold limit based on the control signal.

Abstract: A lighting fixture for powering multiple LED groups to generate a selectable color temperature. The lighting fixture provides varying amounts of power to each group of LEDs to achieve a selected color temperature. Current from a driver may be divided between the LED groups based on a selected operational state, which is selected using a switch or other configurable input. The operational states may turn the LED groups on or off or may control an amount of current received by the LED groups. In some configurations, all of the LED groups are always at least partially powered.

Abstract: An example luminaire includes a white light source (e.g. LEDs emitting white light in a region of the CIE color chart within three Macadam ellipses below the black body curve) and a violet light source emitting light in a wavelength range of approximately 380 nm to 450 nm (e.g. 405 nm LEDs) for deactivating bacteria, such as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) on a surface exposed to illumination from the luminaire. A controller coupled to the sources pulses the violet light source at periodic intervals or at random times. When ON, the violet source emits light for deactivating bacteria at an intensity higher than the concurrent intensity of the white light.

Abstract: The lighting device includes a luminaire, duplex circuitry, a lighting control device to control a light output and operation of a light source in a vicinity of the luminaire, and a sound transducer integrated on a surface of an element of the luminaire. The sound transducer responds to vibrations of the luminaire element to detect incoming audio waves and generates outgoing audio waves in the vicinity of the luminaire. The duplex circuitry is coupled to electrical terminals of the sound transducer and configured to generate a first electrical signal of the incoming audio waves, and supply a second electrical signal to cause the sound transducer to generate the outgoing audio waves in the vicinity of the luminaire that are directly proportional to the second electrical signal.

Abstract: Certain aspects involve lighting systems relating to control of light fixture output intensity and color temperature. For instance, an input device of the lighting system includes a first selector element communicatively coupled to a driver of a light-emitting diode lighting device across a power cable. The power cable provides a transmission path of power and a control signal between the input device and the driver of the light-emitting diode lighting device. The first selector element is able to control a lumen output of the light-emitting diode lighting device when in a lumen control mode and to control a correlated color temperature output of the light-emitting diode lighting device when in a correlated color temperature control mode. The input device also includes a second selector element that transitions the first selector element between the lumen control mode and the correlated color temperature control mode.

Abstract: An example of a light fixture is configured to receive, manually or wirelessly from and external device, an instruction to update a setting of the light fixture to a selected intensity or a selected color temperature. An instruction received from the external device may override an instruction provided via manual control. The light fixture may include a set of cool light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a set of warm LEDs. A processing unit of the light fixture may utilize pulse-width modulation to cause the light fixture to emit light having the selected intensity or selected color temperature by implementing a particular duty cycle of a control signal for the cool LEDs and a particular duty cycle of a control signal for the warm LEDs corresponding to the selected intensity or selected color temperature.

Abstract: A lighting system includes a lighting device within a luminaire that generates a controllable light output. The lighting system also includes an input device within the luminaire. The input device includes a first selection mechanism communicatively coupled to the lighting device. The first selection mechanism receives a first input to transition the lighting system between a set of control states. The input device also includes a second selection mechanism communicatively coupled to the lighting device. The second selection mechanism receives a first rotational input to control a light intensity output of the lighting device or a correlated color temperature of the lighting device.

Abstract: A light fixture controller is configured for controlling the color temperature and intensity of a light fixture that includes at least two LED groups. Each LED group includes multiple LEDs configured to produce light at certain color temperatures. The light fixture controller receives a color temperature setting and an intensity setting for the light fixture and generates control signals based on these settings. A first control signal only turns on the first LED group for a first duration of a cycle and a second control signal only turns on the second LED group for a second duration of the cycle. The ratio between the first and second duration is determined based on the color temperature setting. The control signal further includes a dimming control signal for controlling a current flowing through the LED groups based on the intensity setting for the light fixture.

Abstract: A cleansing lighting device includes a laser light source configured to emit light in the visible light spectrum or in the infrared light spectrum. The cleansing lighting device also includes a light frequency up-converter to convert longer wavelength light from the laser light source to shorter wavelength light. The converted light has a dominant wavelength in the portion of the ultraviolet range at or below 380 nm, suitable for the cleansing application. An example cleansing lighting device may also include an optical element, such as a beam shaping lens or a variable optical beam deflector, to distribute the resulting ultraviolet light from the up-converter for the cleansing application. Such a cleansing lighting device may be a standalone device, although the device or individual components for light-based cleansing may be incorporated in a luminaire, for example, together with an artificial light source adapted to general illumination.

Abstract: A light fixture includes an electronic accessory module such as a wireless communication module, and a clip for mounting the accessory module to a panel of the light fixture. The clip includes features for snapping the accessory module to a panel of the light fixture, for example to a printed circuit board holding light emitting diodes or to a sheet metal panel that is part of the structure of the light fixture. The clip may hold the accessory module electronics away from any metal parts of the light fixture. In the case that the accessory module is a wireless communication module, this spacing may facilitate robust wireless communication.
