    Abstract: A disconnect component coupled between a lighting load and a main power line. The disconnect component includes an input coupled to the main power line and a neutral line input to the disconnect component from the 277 volt circuit and an output coupled to the lighting load. The disconnect component includes a monitor that monitors a voltage on the main power line and a coupling component that couples the main power line to the output. The coupling component is configured to decouple the main power line from the output when the monitor senses a voltage on the main power line is higher than an upper limit voltage and re-couple the main power line to the output when the monitor senses that the voltage on the main power line is below the upper limit voltage.

  • Patent number: 10004126
    Abstract: In a lighting system that emits light of a color within a color specification, the color is controlled by adding light from a single color-correcting light emitting device (light-emitting device) to a primary light-emitting device. In an illustrative embodiment, a color-detecting module can sense the color of the combined light emitted from both the primary and the color-correcting light-emitting devices. The color-control system can generate an amplitude control signal based on a signal indicative of the color sensed by the color-detecting module. A color range of the combined light of the primary and the color-correcting light-emitting devices can intersect a domain of the predetermined color specification, as the generated amplitude control signal spans the domain. Using a single color-correcting light-emitting device to maintain a lighting system's emitted color within a predetermined color specification can advantageously reduce system complexity.
