  • Patent number: 11716804
    Abstract: A light fixture for an indoor grow facility is provided. The light fixture includes a plurality of LED lights, a controller, a digital communication module, and an analog communication module. The controller is in signal communication with the plurality of LED lights. The digital communication module receives a digital control signal. The analog communication module receives an analog control signal simultaneously with the digital control signal. The controller is configured to select between either the digital control signal or the analog control signal for controlling the plurality of LED lights.

  • Publication number: 20230172116
    Abstract: A light fixture includes a housing, and a lighting module. The housing defines first and second portions. The second portion defines a window. The lighting module is at least partially disposed in the second portion. The lighting module includes a submount, a plurality of light emitting diodes, a lens cover, and an encapsulating material. The plurality of light emitting diodes is coupled with the submount and is configured to project light through the window. The lens cover includes an exterior surface and overlies the plurality of light emitting diodes and the submount such that the lens cover and the submount define an interior therebetween. The encapsulating material substantially fills the interior.

  • Patent number: 11549672
    Abstract: A light fixture includes a communication input and output, a plurality of LED lights, an LED driver, first and second control modules, and a feedback circuit. The communication input is configured to receive a control signal. The communication output is configured to relay the control signal to a downstream light fixture. The LED driver is electrically coupled with the plurality of LED lights. The first control module is in signal communication with the communication input and output and the LED driver and is configured to transmit a driver signal to the LED driver that controls operation of the plurality of LED lights. The second control module is in signal communication with the first control module. The feedback circuit is in signal communication with the second control module and the LED driver. The LED driver transmits a feedback signal to the second control module via the feedback circuit.

  • Publication number: 20220394935
    Abstract: A heater includes an enclosure, a first baffle plate, and a second baffle plate. The enclosure includes a first wall, a second wall opposite the first wall, and a top plate extending between the first wall and the second wall and cooperating with the first wall and the second wall to at least partially define an interior. The heating module is coupled with the enclosure and is disposed beneath the first baffle plate and the second baffle plate. The heater can additionally or alternatively include an air quality monitoring system and an isolation transformer. The air quality monitoring system includes an air quality controller, at least one air quality sensor, and a power input. The isolation transformer is configured to deliver power from the air quality monitoring system to a fuel system controller of the heating module to facilitate powering thereof.

  • Patent number: 11388806
    Abstract: A light fixture for an indoor grow facility is provided. The light fixture includes a plurality of LED lights, an LED driver circuit electrically coupled with the plurality of LED lights, and a controller that transmits a driver signal to the LED driver circuit for controlling operation of the plurality of LED lights. The controller receives a digital control signal and an analog control signal and is configured to determine whether a failure condition exists for the digital control signal to determine whether to use the digital control signal or the analog control signal for controlling the LED lights. That controller additionally or alternatively includes a conversion module that is configured to receive an original control signal and generate a secondary analog control signal and a secondary digital control signal from the original control signal.
