  • Publication number: 20240003531
    Abstract: A luminaire includes a housing, a first light source, and a second light source. The housing includes a light exit aperture defined therein. The first light source is disposed in the housing. The first light source emits visible light. The second light source is also disposed in the housing. The second light source is between the first light source and the light exit aperture. The second light source emits ultraviolet light. The second light source further allows at least some of the light emitted by the first light source to pass therethrough.

  • Patent number: 11863061
    Abstract: A switch includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal. The switch includes an output node coupled to the second terminal and the third terminal. The switch includes a contactor coupled to the first terminal and movable between at least a first position and a second position. The first terminal is coupled to the second terminal when the contactor is in the first position. The first terminal is coupled to the third terminal when the contactor is in the second position. When the contactor is in the first position, the switch is configured to provide direct current power at the output node. When the contactor is in the second position, the switch is configured to provide alternating current power at the output node.
