Abstract: A light strip that includes a housing with an elongated shape. A tray is attached to the housing and is positioned in the housing. An LED assembly is mounted to the tray and includes LED elements that emit light outward away from the tray. An elongated lens with a central section is configured to extend over the LED assembly. Inner end caps are positioned at ends of the lens with the inner ends caps being light-transmissive. Outer end caps are positioned at ends of the housing outward from the inner end caps with the outer end caps being opaque.

Abstract: A method includes the steps of obtaining a frame from an image sensor, the frame comprising a number of pixel values, detecting a change in a first subset of the pixel values, detecting a change in the second subset of the pixel values near the first subset of the pixel values, and determining an occupancy state based on a relationship between the change in the first subset of the pixel values and the second subset of the pixel values. The occupancy state may be determined to be occupied when the change in the first subset of the pixel values is in a first direction and the change in the second subset of the pixel values is in a second direction opposite the first direction.

Abstract: A lighting fixture includes a solid-state light source, communications circuitry, a memory, and processing circuitry. The memory stores common security credentials, wherein the common security credentials are pre-installed during a factory calibration process. The processing circuitry is coupled to the solid-state light source, the communications circuitry, and the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to cause the solid-state light source to provide a desired light output. Further, the processing circuitry is configured to join a common network using the common security credentials, wherein only devices with the common security credentials are permitted to join the network.

Abstract: A lighting fixture having a light source, a light sensor, a communication interface, and circuitry is described. In addition to controlling the light source, the circuitry is adapted to monitor for a light signal provided from a handheld device via the light sensor; upon receiving the light signal, measure a signal level associated with the light signal; and effect transmission of the signal level to the handheld device via the communication interface. In one embodiment, the circuitry is further configured to receive an instruction to monitor for the light signal from the handheld device via the communication interface such that the circuitry begins monitoring for the light signal upon receiving the instruction.

Abstract: An optic for a light-emitting diode (LED) array comprises an arrangement of optical structures for providing down lighting distribution from the LED array and a waveguide edge for providing up-lighting distribution from the LED array. Luminaires are described comprising an LED array and the optic. An overhead light fixture includes a driver assembly and a light-emitting assembly. The light-emitting assembly is operably connected to the driver and configured for downward emission of light from a light source of the light-emitting assembly. The light fixture is configured to be mounted to a canopy sheet of an overhead canopy, with the driver assembly disposed above the canopy sheet and the light-emitting assembly disposed below the canopy sheet. A bezel is optionally disposed around a lens of the light-emitting assembly, for aesthetic reasons and/or for controlling a degree of lateral emission of light from the light fixture.

Abstract: Lighting devices and methods utilize multiple independently controllable groups of solid state light emitters of different dominant wavelengths, with operation of the emitter groups being automatically adjusted by processor(s) to provide desired illumination. Operation of the emitter groups may be further affected by sensors and/or user input commands (e.g., sound patterns, gesture patterns, or signal transmission). Operation may be adjusted to compensate for presence, absence, intensity, and/or color point of ambient or incident light. Presence of five or more groups of solid state light emitters provide desirable luminous flux, color point, correlated color temperature (CCT), color rendering index (CRI), CRI R9, and luminous efficacy characteristics of aggregate emissions over a wide range of CCT values, and may permit adjustment of vividness (e.g., relative gamut) and/or melatonin suppression characteristics for a selected color point or CCT.

Abstract: An area lamp includes an emitter array and driver circuitry. The emitter array includes a number of solid-state light emitters. Each one of the solid-state light emitters is configured to provide light suitable for general illumination within a field of view such that light emitted from a first subset of the number of solid-state light emitters is provided to a different portion of the field of view than light emitted from a second subset of the number of solid-state light emitters. The driver circuitry is coupled to the emitter array and configured to provide drive signals to the emitter array such that the light provided from each one of the solid-state light emitters is independently controllable and a number of drive signals is less than the number of solid-state light emitters.

Abstract: A lighting fixture with reduced glare is provided. Lighting fixtures described herein use a lens assembly to redirect light away from a housing in order to reduce a unified glaring ratio (UGR) (e.g., when viewed crosswise or endwise). The lens assembly may further provide diffusive properties which result in a more pleasing and soft light over traditional lighting fixtures. In aspects described herein, the UGR of troffer-style lighting fixtures can be improved (e.g., reduced) through lens assemblies having one or more light redirection features configured to particularly redirect light emitted at high v-angles (e.g., light emitted sideways relative to the housing at v-angles greater than 70 degrees). For example, the lens assembly may include an inner prismatic surface of a lens, an inner lens, a louver assembly (e.g., over or under a lens), or a reflector to achieve this light redirection.

A lighting fixture may include multiple waveguides that different extraction feature patterns and/or may be sequentially arranged.
