Patent number: 10842001Abstract: A control system including a high voltage device, a low voltage device, and a central control module. The central control module includes a first low voltage connection for receiving at least one first control signal from the low voltage device and a high voltage connection for providing at least one second control signal to the high voltage device. The central control module is configured to determine a daylight conversion factor based on the at least one control signal, wherein the at least one second control signal is based at least in part on the daylight conversion factor.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2019Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Stuart Middleton-White, Gregory Smith, Robert Martin, Thomas J. Hartnagel, Theodore Eric Weber, Mike Crane, Terry Arbouw, Dawn R. Kack, David J. Rector

Patent number: 9877373Abstract: System and method include luminaires, control switches, occupancy detectors, and photocells connected to central control module for setting up, testing, commissioning and maintaining the system. Memory card interface and associated memory card provided for loading, saving and/or transferring configuration, update firmware, and log system operation data, which can be automatically recognized to perform appropriate actions. System and method provide switching between different mutually exclusive lighting modes where lighting of each mode is sequenced such that second lighting mode is initiated before first mode is terminated, resulting in continuity of lighting in controlled area.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2015Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Stuart Middleton-White, Gregory Smith, Robert Martin, Thomas J.

Patent number: 8436542Abstract: System and method are provided where a plurality of luminaires, control switches, occupancy detectors, and photocells are connected to a central control module including a user interface which is used for setting up, testing, commissioning and maintaining the system; a memory card interface and associated memory card which can be used to load and save configuration data, update firmware, and log system operation. Lighting system can be set up and tested and then the configuration saved in a portable memory, such as on a memory card which can be transferred to another system where it is read to facilitate faster and easier configuring of the other system to parallel, or to be exactly like, the original system. Data stored on a portable memory can be automatically recognized to perform appropriate actions such as, for example: update configuration, or update firmware.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2010Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Stuart Middleton-White, Gregory Smith, Robert Martin, Thomas J.

Patent number: 8092040Abstract: The multi-directional lighting fixture includes a lighting fixture having a substantially elongated opaque housing with first and second ends with an open top for emitting light in an upward direction and a longitudinal slot along the bottom surface of the housing extending between the first and second ends. The longitudinal slot includes a shielding material, such as a louver or cover, with a predetermined degree of light translucence. The housing has a substantially elliptical cross section tapering towards one end of the housing. The ends of the housing have elliptical translucent members that can transmit lighting horizontally and radially outward from the interior of the housing. Two or more housings can be coupled together in series.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2009Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Arthur Y. Wu, James A. Doerr, Michael D.
