  • Patent number: 11255526
    Abstract: A flexible lighting tube and universal architectural mounting system for lighting upon municipal utility poles. The mounting system is a bracket having the form of an inverted track to receive a lighting tube. The bracket may have a base and plurality of flanges used to either hold the lighting tube or attach to a pole. The base and flanges form a U-like shape and are made from a flexible material allowing the bracket to be shaped to conform to a pole to which it attaches. A foam layer may be inserted between the bracket and tube to inhibit unintended disconnection.

  • Patent number: 11149926
    Abstract: A luminaire control device for use with a municipal light pole. The device is plugged into a standard dimming receptacle and includes a universal power supply for converting AC power received in any of the common municipal distribution voltages to a uniform DC output usable by small electronic components of an accompanying control system. The universal power supply and control system are configured to fit within the form factor required by applicable standards. The control system includes program logic to control the luminaire by sending control signals via the dimming receptacle. These signals may be sent using one, two, or more control channels as defined by the standard, and may control a single luminaire or multiple luminaires via the different channels. The device may further include a wireless transceiver to facilitate remote access and control of the light, allowing a municipal light pole to be retrofitted as an IoT device.

  • Patent number: 10495291
    Abstract: A cobra arm enclosure device has a hull, a lid, and features for a light pole and a light fixture to attach hereto. The device has a generally rectangular prismatic form that sheds precipitation and ice. It has a top surface upon the lid, a bottom surface upon the hull, a left side, a right side, a front, and a back. The enclosure has an extension that fits into a light fixture. The back of the enclosure has a receiver that fits upon a light pole arm. The enclosure has a width generally greater than that of the cobra arm. Within the invention, it has a storage capacity for electrical components. The invention is an inline enclosure for direct transmission of electrical power and signaling. The invention serves in a system where a central control operates street lighting across a city.
