  • Patent number: 8884541
    Abstract: An illustrative LED driver circuit includes dimming control of the LED lamp. The circuit uses flyback converter topology, a power factor correction (PFC) primary side controller, a secondary side controller that includes current control and voltage control regulation, and an dimming control circuit. The dimming control circuit includes a selectable dimming control signal added together with a sensed current output signal to provide a control signal supplied to the secondary controller for output current control.

  • Publication number: 20140307445
    Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a light fixture, which may be a type of recessed downlight called a wallwasher, includes a light housing and has a power supply, such as a driver and/or electrical junction box, mounted on or forming an arm. The arm is rotationally coupled to the light housing, with the arm having two axes of rotation relative to the light housing. That is, the arm freely rotates laterally about a first axis, and freely rotates in elevation about a second axis.

  • Patent number: 8847499
    Abstract: An illustrative LED driver circuit includes an automatic on and off control function using a light sensing circuit having a light sensing element reacting to ambient light. The circuit uses flyback converter topology and a power factor correction (PFC) controller. The light sensing function is provided by coupling the light sensing circuit to a monitoring/disable function of the PFC controller, thus providing automatic on and off control of the LED driver circuit by using a light sensing element such as a photocell.

  • Patent number: 8540402
    Abstract: An illustrative thermally managed light includes a light source, for example an LED array, a heatsink having a tapered outer surface, the light source thermally coupled with the heatsink, a housing having a tapered interior surface portion, and a securing device coupling the heatsink and the rear end of the housing. The securing device, for example a tensioning device, adapted to retain the outer surface of the heatsink in thermal contact with the tapered interior surface of the housing, thus transferring and dissipating the heat from the light source into the environment around the housing.

  • Publication number: 20130242574
    Abstract: An illustrative light fixture provides an emitter housing and a driver housing in a single fixture with an airflow channel defined between the emitter and driver housings. The airflow channel minimizes thermal conduction between the emitter and driver housings, and maximizes thermal convective cooling for at least one of the emitter housing and driver housing. The emitter housing includes vertical fins extending into the airflow chamber. The left and right sides of the emitter and driver housings define top and bottom edges that are respectively coplanar with the top and bottom edges of the vertical fins.

  • Publication number: 20130088882
    Abstract: An illustrative light fixture includes an emitter housing and airflow cooling channels. The airflow cooling channels are defined in the space between opposite edges of the emitter housing and a rim around the periphery of at least the opposite edges of the emitter housing. The airflow channels are further defined by fins spanning between the rim and opposite edges and spanning across a side of the housing opposite the illumination side.
