  • Patent number: 11635192
    Abstract: An underwater light fixture adapter system includes a lighting unit having a housing with at least one light positioned within the housing. An adapter has a substantially cylindrical shape with an open interior portion, wherein at least a portion of the housing is positionable within the open interior portion. A connection system is formed between the adapter and the housing of the lighting unit, wherein the connection system secures the housing to the adapter. At least one pivot contact is formed on an exterior surface of the adapter, the at least one pivot contact having a curved surface, wherein the curved surface is contactable to an inner wall of a niche to allow the housing and adapter to pivot.

  • Patent number: 11622436
    Abstract: A lighting system for use in a high-moisture environment, such as a swimming pool, includes a lighting unit having a housing and at least one light-emitting device positioned within the housing. A power supply provides power to the light-emitting device. A receiver positioned within the housing operates with a LoRa modulation format. A mobile control unit located remote from the lighting unit is configured to transmit at least one wireless control signal to the receiver, whereby the at least one control signal controls or changes a characteristic of the at least one light-emitting device, such as an on/off state, a color, a lighting effect, or a pattern of display. Related systems and methods for installing a lighting system for use in a high-moisture environment are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11296551
    Abstract: An induction luminaire system for use in high-moisture environments includes a transmitter coupling structure housing an induction transmitter having a first planar coil. The transmitter coupling structure is received with a wall fitting or a lighting niche. An induction receiver has a second planar coil to receive an induction signal from the first planar coil, wherein the induction receiver is in electrical communication with the light module, and wherein the induction receiver provides power from the received induction signal to a light module. A receiver coupling structure houses the induction receiver. The first planar coil of the induction transmitter is positioned substantially parallel and co-axial with the second planar coil of the induction receiver, and both the first and second planar coils are positioned at least partially within the interior of the underwater wall fitting or the interior of the underwater lighting niche.

  • Patent number: 10938245
    Abstract: An induction luminaire system for use in high-moisture environments includes a transmitter coupling structure housing an induction transmitter having a first planar coil. An exterior of the transmitter coupling structure is engageable with a wall fitting or a lighting niche. The transmitter coupling structure has a rear surface which extends into the wall fitting or the lighting niche not more than a predetermined distance. An induction receiver has a second planar coil to receive an induction signal from the first planar coil, wherein the induction receiver is in electrical communication with the light module, and wherein the induction receiver provides power from the received induction signal to a light module. A receiver coupling structure houses the induction receiver and having an interior recess, wherein a portion of the transmitter coupling structure housing the first planar coil is removably positionable within the interior recess.

  • Patent number: 10681793
    Abstract: A lighting system for use in a high-moisture environment, such as a swimming pool, includes a lighting unit having a housing and at least one light-emitting device positioned within the housing. A power supply provides power to the light-emitting device. A receiver positioned within the housing operates with a LoRa modulation format and receives signals at an ISM band operating frequency of substantially between 433.05-434.79 MHz (EU433). A mobile control unit located remote from the lighting unit is configured to transmit at least one wireless control signal to the receiver at a frequency between 433.05-434.79 MHz, whereby the at least one control signal controls or changes a characteristic of the at least one light-emitting device, such as an on/off state, a color, a lighting effect, or a pattern of display. Related systems and methods for installing a lighting system for use in a high-moisture environment are also disclosed.
