Abstract: An illumination system has a controller stack that includes multiple power conversion and LED driver assemblies and a pole-mounted backplane that provides power and communication connections. The pole-mounted backplane further acts as a heat-sink and efficiently transmits excess heat to the pole on which the controller stack is mounted. The controller stack and its components include weathertight housings and connectors for outdoor applications, and it includes a master, which monitors the system operation and can switch to a backup LED driver based upon its monitoring of system operation.

Abstract: An elongated lighting module having an asymmetric illumination source formed from at least two rows of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that extend along the long axis of the module and are independently controllable. The lighting modules are powered via a wiring harness that extends down a support pole to a power converter stack having LED drivers to control the modules.

The power supply may also include a backup that can be switched over to power the rows of light emitting diodes in the event of a failure.

Abstract: A method for providing assistance in aiming of one or more illumination devices in an area may include, by a processor, receiving photometric data for an area, and using the photometric data to determine an aiming vector for the illumination device. The area may include the illumination device. the method may further include receiving, from an orientation sensor module of the illumination device, orientation data for the illumination device, and using the orientation data and the aiming vector to determine if there is an error in the aiming of the illumination device. The response to determining that there is an error in the aiming of the illumination device, the method further includes causing a controller associated with a driving means of the illumination device for correcting the error in the aiming of the illumination device.

Abstract: A lighting system that can thermally balance the usage of elements of the system to manage the wear rates of lifetime limiting components. The lighting system includes multiple light emitting diode illumination sources, each of which driven by a light emitting diode driver positioned in a separate housing remotely from a luminaire. A controller supervises all of the light emitting diode drivers and can adjust the power out of any of the light emitting diode drivers that are experiencing a faster loss of lifespan due to local conditions. The controller may also activate a thermal cooling device positioned in the housing of the light emitting diode driver to stabilize the temperature of a light emitting diode driver with an out of balance temperature, thereby reducing the loss of lifetime relative other drivers operating at lower temperatures.

Abstract: A luminaire that can resist the shock associated with a ballistics event and continue to operate. The luminaire has a base formed from high ductility aluminum. An illumination source, such as a light emitting diode array, is secured to a support of the base. A lens having a gasket is positioned over the illumination source and secured thereto with a clamp. A ballistic shield having a dual gasket is coupled to the clamp by a bezel positioned over the ballistic shield and secured to the clamp. The gaskets extending around the peripheral edges of the lens and the shield cooperate with the highly ductile aluminum base to reduce the transmission of any shock associated with a ballistic event to the illumination source and associated electronics.

Abstract: A self-supporting luminaire housing that can additionally support additional housings mounted for mounting to a support pole without any cross arms. The housing has a mounting plate for an illumination source, a spine spaced apart from the mounting plate, triangular fins extending between the mounting plate and the spine, and a set of braces coupled to and extending from the mounting plate to the spine. The mounting plate is rectangular, and the spine extends longitudinally relative to the mounting plate. Some of the braces extend perpendicularly from the mounting plate, and some of the braces extend obliquely from the mounting plate to form a supporting truss with the spin and the mounting plate. The housing may be formed as an integral unit to improve thermal dissipation via two thermal pathways from the illumination source to the fins.
