Abstract: A system for dimming a solid state illumination source, such as a light emitting diode, including a low pass analog filter operative to extract a direct current (DC) voltage component from an incoming alternating current (AC) waveform. A microprocessor is structured to digitally filter the DC voltage resulting from the analog filter and extract dimming data associated with a dimming operation of the LED. The microprocessor includes monitoring capabilities operative to detect predetermined characteristics of the dimming data associated with the dimming operation. The predetermined characteristics are determinative of manual control of the dimming operation or non-manual activation of a dimming signal. The predetermined characteristics which are determinative of manual control may include, but not be limited to, speed of voltage change, direction of voltage change and amount of voltage change associated with the dimming signal delivered to the LED.

Abstract: A capacitance based reactive power balancing current limited power supply (RPBCLPS) for driving floating DC loads utilizes capacitive reactance to limit current being supplied to a load, rather than inductance. A capacitor transfers charge from an AC current input to a DC load. A fuse electrically protects the capacitor from high frequency current harmonics. A diode clamp electrically protects the capacitor from voltage spikes. A rectifier converts the AC current input into DC current for driving the DC load. The reactive power balancing current limited power supply can be incorporated as a key component into reactive power balancing electrical power distribution systems. Such systems can comprise a grid configuration structured to distribute the AC electrical power from a utility source to a plurality of DC loads. Further, the DC loads can be cooperatively located to provide functional distributed capacitance throughout a substantial portion of the grid.

Abstract: A light fixture assembly including an illumination assembly in the form of one or more light emitting diodes is interconnected to an electrical energy source by control circuitry. A mounting assembly supports the illumination assembly and a cover structure is disposed in heat transferring relation to the illumination assembly, wherein the cover structure and/or mounting assembly have enlarged surface areas formed of a heat conductive material, facilitating heat dissipation generated by the illumination assembly into the surrounding environment. At least one connector, formed of an electrically conductive material, is disposed in interconnecting, current conducting relation between a source of electrical energy and the illumination assembly. The mounting assembly is disposed in electrically segregated relation to the connector(s), wherein said interconnecting relation of said one connector at least partially defines an assembled orientation of the illumination assembly and mounting assembly.

Abstract: A control system and method for automatically and seamlessly providing optimal power and/or voltage levels to an integrated, connected or other designated light assembly. In particular, the control system comprises corresponding boost, buck and feedback circuitry cooperatively utilized to intelligently increase, decrease or maintain the signal or power delivered to the light assembly at an optimal level, thereby increasing efficiency and productivity of the light assembly and allowing the light assembly to operate even in the event of a severely degraded signal due to resistance or impedance resulting from a lengthy power wire or other factors.
