  • Patent number: 10794579
    Abstract: A circular edge-lit lighting device includes a light emitting panel (LEP) and a first light emitting diode (LED) light source positioned proximal to a first location on a narrow outer perimeter edge of the LEP. The first LED light source is configured to emit a first light into the LEP through the narrow outer perimeter edge. The first light has a first intensity level. The circular edge-lit lighting device also includes a second LED light source positioned proximal to a second location on the narrow outer perimeter edge the LEP. The second LED light source is configured to emit a second light into the LEP through the narrow outer perimeter edge. The second light has a second intensity level. The first location and the second location are different locations.

  • Patent number: 10782010
    Abstract: An edge-lit lighting fixture includes a light emitting panel (LEP) and a light emitting diode (LED) light source that is positioned proximal to a perimeter edge of the LEP and configured to emit a light into the LEP through the perimeter edge. At least a portion of the light is emitted through the broad surface of the LEP as an illumination light to illuminate an area. The edge-lit lighting fixture further includes a sensor positioned at a broad surface of the LEP to detect ambient light in the area. The LED light source is powered on based on the light sensor. The edge-lit lighting fixture also includes a sensor shield positioned around a portion of the sensor to block the illumination light from directly reaching the sensor.

  • Patent number: 9374869
    Abstract: An edge-lit lighting device includes a light emitting panel (LEP), a first plurality of light sources, and a second plurality of light sources. The first plurality of LEDs are positioned proximal to a first narrow side of the LEP and are configured to emit a first light into the LEP through the first narrow side. The first light has a first intensity level. The second plurality of LEDs are positioned proximal to a second narrow side of the LEP and are configured to emit a second light into the LEP through the second narrow side. The second light has a second intensity level that is different from the first intensity level. The first intensity level and the second intensity level are set to achieve a particular distribution pattern of an output light emitted out through a broad side of the LEP.
