Abstract: Systems and methods for an interactive modular lighting system are described. The lighting systems enable users to dynamically build a luminaire through a modular joining of individual light-emitting units, however such that risk of electrical failure is automatically prevented through a dynamic computation of electrical circuit properties and dynamic configuration of components. Additionally, lighting systems with granular and configurable touch sensing are described, wherein a user's interaction with the lighting system can be coupled to actuation of properties of the lighting system or of properties of other devices in communication with the lighting system. Illustrative embodiments of applications of said lighting systems in smart home and gaming are provided.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a configurable lighting device, connectors, controllers, and methods for layout detection are provided. The configurable lighting devices, suitably connected, form an assembly of configurable lighting devices that can be removably connected with one another and re-arranged. Connectors are provided that form mechanical and electrical connections between configurable lighting devices such that a flow of electricity and control signals may be propagated without the need for direct connection between every configurable lighting device and a controller. The controller or devices connected to the controller are configured to perform layout detection such that pleasing visualizations may be rendered across the assembly that are rendered using at least the detected layout. When the configuration of the configurable lighting devices changes, the layout detection is automatically updated.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with an LED packaging unit, a manufacturing method for the same, and an LED lamp. The LED packaging unit has a common substrate, N number of red LED chips, M number of green LED chips and X number of blue LED chips. The N number of red LED chips, the M number of green LED chips and the X number of blue LED chips are arranged and packaged on a bottom surface of a recess of the common substrate. The red LED chips, the green LED chips and the blue LED chips are all monochromatic LED chips, with N, M, and X being integers greater than 1. The distances between any adjacent two red LED chips (or green LED chips or blue LED chips) are substantially consistent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mounting assembly, a panel light having the mounting assembly and a panel light combination. The mounting assembly has a mounting member including a first surface connectable to a mounting position, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a generally circular ring-shaped first connecting portion formed by extending outwardly along the second surface. There is also provided with a base plate connected to the mounting member, with a middle portion of the base plate extending outwardly to form a second connecting portion detachably connected to the first connecting portion. The first connecting portion is further configured to be movably engaged with the second connecting portion such that the base plate can adjust a mounting angle relative to the mounting member.

Abstract: An LED bulb comprises a structural shell formed by folding a flat PCB into a three-dimensional polyhedron shape and a fitting for removably coupling the bulb to a light socket. The PCB comprises a plurality of LEDs, at least one LED mounted electronically on a plurality of faces of the polyhedron, and a driver circuit for driving each LED. The perimeter of the PCB is shaped to join adjacent faces. Each LED produces minimal excess heat, which is partially conducted by a metallic heat sink bridge to the PCB and dissipated to the air through the PCB and through a plurality of spaces in the shell.

Abstract: The light intensity level of a dimmable LED bulb is set by interruption of the AC signal by the user. The bulb's driver circuit includes a controller having dimmer control logic for controlling the brightness. Optionally, the LED bulb can be dimmed by an external TRIAC dimmer.
