  • Patent number: 12273969
    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.

  • Publication number: 20250106970
    Abstract: An example control system includes a set of light fixtures connected to a hub, where each light fixture includes a hub-communication device configured to communicate with the hub and a direct communication device configured to communicate directly with other light fixtures. Together, the light fixtures form a mesh network facilitated by the use of their direct communication devices. An external device communicates an instruction to a light fixture, and the instruction is propagated throughout the mesh network through communications among the light fixtures using their respective direct communication devices. As a result, each light fixture to which the instruction applies receives and complies with the instructions. The light fixtures are also configured to receive instructions from the hub, such that a light fixture is configured to receive instructions over dual networks.

  • Patent number: 12244220
    Abstract: A method for reducing current ripple at an output of a power supply includes sensing an alternating current (AC) input voltage waveform; determining a correction factor for a switching frequency of the power supply based on the sensed AC input voltage; and applying the correction factor to the switching frequency of the power supply to modify the power supply switching frequency. A modification of the switching frequency synchronizes the switching frequency of the power supply to the AC input voltage waveform.

  • Patent number: 12222494
    Abstract: An optical assembly and a luminaire with extreme cutoff beam control optics. The optical assembly includes a base, at least one lens, at least one light emitting diode (LED) positioned to emit light into the lens, and a curved reflector disposed adjacent to the LED. The reflector can be characterized by a first angle between a plane of the base and a first line joining a distal end of the lens furthest laterally from a first end of the reflector and a second end of the reflector located over the lens, and a second angle between the plane of the base and a second line joining a point on the lens located at the optical axis of the LED and the second end of the reflector. The first angle can be between 60° and 90°, and the second angle can be between 70° and 130°.

  • Patent number: 12201847
    Abstract: Certain examples involve a circadian effect light fixture. The circadian effect light fixture includes a controller to receive a modifying factor based on a circadian impact profile. The modifying factor includes an indication of an intensity value, a correlated color temperature value, and a color value over a range of time. The circadian effect light fixture also includes a first lighting element controlled by the controller to produce a first light output having a first intensity, a first correlated color temperature, and a first color value. Further, the circadian effect light fixture includes a second lighting element controlled by the controller to produce a second light output having a second intensity, a second correlated color temperature, and a second color value. A combined light output of the first lighting element and the second lighting element tracks the modifying factor over the range of time.

  • Patent number: 12133940
    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 an irregular rate and interval over a time period to apply a deactivation dosage of the violet light to bacteria within range of the emissions. When ON, the violet source emits light for deactivating bacteria at an intensity higher than the concurrent intensity of the white light.
