Abstract: A device has a light source, a first reflector segment having a first parabolic cross section to produce a first light distribution having a wide-angle light distribution, and a second reflector segment having a second parabolic cross section to produce a second light distribution that is narrower than the first light distribution. At least one of the first and second segments is movable between first and second positions such that a portion of the light emitted by the light source is reflected to form the first light distribution when the at least one of the first and second segments is in the first position, and a portion of the light is reflected to form the second light distribution when the at least one of the first and second segments is in the second position.

Abstract: A solid-state circadian rhythm lamp and related control techniques are disclosed. The lamp may have a night/pre-sleep emissions mode in which it emits light having a correlated color temperature (CCT) of about 1,800-2,300 K, the spectral power ratio of blue light (400-495 nm) being such that it constitutes about 10% or less of the total light emitted. The lamp may have a day/wakeup emissions mode in which it emits light having a CCT of about 5,000-8,000 K, the spectral power ratio of blue light being such that it constitutes about 30% or more of the total light emitted. The lamp may have a general lighting mode in which it produces a combined light output having a CCT of about 2,500-5,000 K. The lamp driver may support emissions mode changing based on hysteresis relating to a lighting switch associated with a power socket hosting the lamp.

A second fastener having a quick connect feature is configured to removably couple the light fixture to the mounting fixture in a retracted configuration.

Abstract: A system and related techniques for dimming a solid-state light source are disclosed. The system may be configured to dim the output of a solid-state emitter via a combination of phase-cut dimming and high-frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming. To this end, the system may include a digital rectification module configured to generate a rectified DC power and a rectified phase-cut signal based on a phase-cut AC signal received from a phase-cut dimmer. The system further may include a microcontroller unit (MCU) configured to measure the duration of low and high states of the rectified phase-cut signal using zero-crossing digital phase-cut detection and output PWM signal(s) based, at least in part, on those measured values. The rectified DC power and PWM signal(s) may be delivered to a DC-to-DC converter, which may output DC power(s) having an intensity based on the rectified DC power and PWM signal(s), causing receiving emitter(s) to dim.

Abstract: Systems to control light color temperature during dimming are disclosed. A power supply drives a load include a first light source (e.g., to emit a first color of light) and a second light source (e.g., to emit a second color of light). The power supply includes a front end circuit, a converter circuit, and a load current control circuit. The front end circuit receives an input voltage from a dimmer and generates a direct current (DC) voltage based on the received input voltage. The converter circuit generates a first voltage to drive the first light source and a second voltage to drive the second light source. The load current control circuit controls the current flowing through the second light source based on a light control setting configured in the dimmer.

Abstract: LED lamp 10 includes a housing, a mounting base, a light engine (LE) 16, light-transmissive cover 20 circumscribing the LE, and reflector 18. The LE comprises a plurality of top-emitting LED packages (TE-LED packages) mounted on planar upper surface 32 of PC board 26, each configured to emit light having an angular distribution centered around a principal light-emitting direction (PLED) normal to an emission face 45. A first set 36 of TE-LEDs is mounted with its PLED perpendicular to PCB 26 and a second set 38 of TE-LEDs is mounted to the PCB with its PLED orthogonal to that of the first set 36 of TE-LEDs and parallel to upper surface 32. Reflector 18 disposed below LE 16 reflects light towards cover 20. A polar light distribution of light emitted from LED lamp 10 is omnidirectional and is Energy Star compliant.

Abstract: Systems and methods to generate drive current in a power supply, independent of the input voltage, are provided. The power supply includes front end circuitry, control circuitry, and drive circuitry. The front end circuitry includes protection circuitry to defend against damage from EMI, voltage spikes, and the like. The control circuitry includes startup circuitry, power factor correction (PFC) circuitry, and output power configuration circuitry. The startup circuitry provides operational voltage to the PFC circuitry, derived from an input voltage, until an internally generated operational voltage becomes available. The PFC circuitry uses the operational voltage to generate output power for the drive circuitry based on the output power configuration circuitry. The drive circuitry includes drive current configuration circuitry to generate a drive current to drive a load, coupled to the power supply, independent of the input voltage.

Abstract: A safety switch for a lighting device is disclosed. The lighting device includes a plurality of solid state light sources and a housing encompassing these. The housing has a first end with a first end cap and an opening therein. A first set of pins extend from the first end cap, and are coupled to a first set of pin connectors.

A bridge that holds the pair of electrical connectors, and a holder extends from the bridge through the opening in the first end cap. The movable actuator is capable of movement between a closed position, which creates an electrical connection between the electrical connectors and the pin connectors, and an open position, wherein creates no such electrical connection.

Abstract: An end cap for a solid-state lighting device is described that provides an electrical connection(s) between an external power source and at least one solid-state emitter disposed in a hollow member of the lighting device. An outer wall extends a first distance and an inner wall extends a second distance from an inward-facing side of the end cap base. A gap between the inner wall and the outer wall accommodates the insertion of the hollow member. A contactor electrically coupled to a conductive member on an opposite side of the end cap extends into the gap. The contactor exerts a force on a flexible conductor and provides a power supply path to or power return path from the at least one solid-state emitter. Preferably, the lighting device includes an array of solid-state emitters disposed on a flexible substrate.
