  • Publication number: 20240102636
    Abstract: A multi-function lighting apparatus comprising a support structure, a light engine mounted on the structure, and a control unit controlling the light engine; the light engine comprising a first group of warm LEDs having color temperature ranging between 2000 and 2500 K and color rendering index ranging between 85 and 95; and a second group of cold LEDs having color temperature of at least 5000 K and color rendering index ranging between 65 and 75; the control unit being a two-channel driver control unit which controls independently the warm LEDs and the cold LEDs and is configured to control the light engine to emit white light with variable color temperature and luminous flux according to at least three different modes performing a lighting function, a plant maintenance function, and a sanification function respectively, as the color temperature and the luminous flux emitted by the light engine vary.

  • Publication number: 20230138074
    Abstract: A control device for controlling a lighting system with sanitizing function comprises a printed circuit board connectable to at least one lamp of the lighting system provided with at least one sanitizing source; at least one presence sensor connected to the board by a communication system, for example a wireless communication system; an amperometric sensor connected to the sanitizing source to measure the current in the sanitizing source; the board is configured so as to disable the sanitizing source or to reduce the power supply to the sanitizing source below a threshold value when the presence sensor detects the presence of users; or when a malfunction is detected in the communication system and the amperometric sensor detects in the sanitizing source a current greater than the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11549673
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus comprises a plurality of light modules; each module comprises: a hollow body provided with a light box having a light exit opening and housing a LED light source controlled by a control unit; a diffusing screen positioned on the opening to uniform the light passing through the opening; a closure cover, positioned above the diffusing screen; a transparent capacitive film positioned on a face of the closure cover and connected to the control unit to define a touch control device of the module; the modules are shaped as respective polyhedral sectors arranged around the first axis and each module defines an independent light module controlled by the respective touch control device independently of the other modules.

  • Patent number: 11032891
    Abstract: A control method is provided for controlling a lighting system for automatically adjusting the colour temperature of the lighting system, by adjusting the colour temperature of the light emitted by the lighting system during one day according to a pre-set daily emission profile; the colour temperature emitted by the lighting system is progressively adjusted during the day according to a daily emission profile represented by a spline function consisting of a plurality of spline function portions corresponding to respective pre-set time periods; the daily emission profile is, moreover, modified based on a geographic position and, in particular, a latitude of the lighting system being controlled, as well as on the current date.

  • Patent number: 11015782
    Abstract: A lighting device extends substantially along a first axis and comprises a LED light source, which has a substantially hemispheric emission on a side of an emission plane, and an optical group, which is placed in front of the light source; the optical group is configured so as to intercept the light emitted by the light source and generate a light ring, which extends at 360° around the light source on opposite sides of the emission plane and is substantially parallel to a meridian plane, which is perpendicular to the emission plane and goes through the axis of the lighting device.
