Publication number: 20230217562Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a lighting system that includes a line control module and light modules. The line control module can be configured to interrupt power to the light modules according to one or more power interruption schemes to control an operation of the light modules. The line control module can have user interface circuitry including a rotary encoder with a shaft and a push button, a preview circuit, and indicator light emitting diodes. A user can interact with the lighting system via the user interface circuitry, which can be configured to provide visual feedback of various settings of the lighting system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Applicant: Hayward Industries, Inc.Inventors: Danny Raposo, James Carter, Gregory Fournier, James Murdock, Kevin Potucek

Publication number: 20220186921Abstract: An underwater light having a replaceable light-emitting diode (LED) module and cord assembly is provided. The underwater light includes a lens, a bezel, a screw, a cable attachment assembly, a mounting flange, a rear housing, a fastening assembly, an internal lens, a printed circuit board (PCB) including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted thereon, a heat sink, and an electronics assembly. The assembly of the underwater light provides for the dissipation of heat away from the PCB thereby cooling the LEDs and electronic components mounted thereon. The electrically non-conductive nature of the exterior components of the underwater light permit the underwater light to be installed in any location in a pool or spa. Since the exterior of the underwater light is electrically non-conductive, no specific bonding or grounding of the underwater light is necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2020Publication date: June 16, 2022Applicant: Hayward Industries, Inc.Inventors: Danny Raposo, James Carter, Steven Mitchell, Jeffrey Cho, Yevgeny Rapoport
