Patent number: 10524332Abstract: The present disclosure provides an intelligent lighting control system. The lighting control system includes a base module including a base housing forming a well and including a first electrical connector positioned in the well. A depressible switch is housed in the well that includes a spring biasing the depressible switch into an extended position that opens an electrical circuit between the power terminal and the first electrical connector. The lighting control system also includes a light switch module configured for nesting, at least in part, in the well of the base module. The light switch module includes a module housing configured to press the depressible switch into a retracted position upon nesting in the well and thereby close the electrical circuit between the power terminal and the first electrical connector and release the depressible switch into the extended position when unnested from the well of the base module.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2017Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Noon Home, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas David Pennycooke, William Lark, Jr., Ryan Aylward

Patent number: 10212790Abstract: The present disclosure provides an intelligent lighting control system configured for automated lighting adjustments. A light control module of the lighting control system receives a signal, such as an alarm signal, from an electronic device, such as a mobile electronic device. The light control module is configured to cause a transmission of a quantity of electrical energy to a lighting circuit of a light fixture electrically connected to the lighting control module. The light control module causes a quantity of electrical energy to be transmitted to a lighting circuit at a particular time of day determined based on the alarm signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2017Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: Noon Home, Inc.Inventors: Erik Allen Charlton, William Lark, Jr., Ann Claire Lim Chi Cheung

Patent number: 10143069Abstract: The present disclosure provides an intelligent lighting control system for automated lighting adjustments. The system includes a first light control module configured to cause a transmission of a first quantity of electrical energy to a first lighting circuit of a first light fixture electrically connected to the first lighting control module. The system transmits a control message from the first light control module to at least one second light control module configured to cause a transmission of a second quantity of electrical energy to at least one second lighting circuit of at least one second light fixture electrically connected to the at least one second lighting control module. The system changes a flow of electricity from the at least one second light control module to the at least one second lighting circuit based on the input received via the first light control module.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Noon Home, Inc.Inventors: Ann Claire Lim Chi Cheung, William Lark, Jr.
