Publication number: 20240268010Abstract: The invention relates to an emergency luminaire (1) with a housing (2) accommodating a light source (3) and control means (4) configured to control light emission of the light source (3). The housing (2) is configured for attaching an emergency sign unit (5) to the housing (2) such that the light emitted by the light source (3) lights the emergency sign unit (5) when the emergency sign unit is (5) attached. The control means (4) is configured to determine whether the emergency sign unit (5) is attached to the housing (2) or not; and control the light emission of the light source (3) according to a first operation mode when no emergency sign unit (5) is attached to the housing (2), and according to a second operation mode when the emergency sign unit (5) is attached to the housing. The second operation mode is different from the first operation mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2022Publication date: August 8, 2024Applicant: ZUMTOBEL LIGHTING GMBHInventor: Gregor Mayr

Patent number: 10535094Abstract: A lighting system (10), in particular a shelf lighting system, is used for locating products (40, 41, 42). Said lighting system comprises at least two lamp units (24-31), each of which (24-31) or a defined group of which (24-31) is assigned to a different space, especially a shelf surface. The lighting system (10) further comprises a control unit for controlling the lamp units (24-31), to each of which (24-31) or to each defined group of which (24-31) a different lamp address is assigned. The lamp address is linked to a product association that is unambiguously associated with a product (40, 41, 42) located in the assigned space. The lighting system (10) also comprises a user interface (54) used for displaying the product associate and for selecting, by means of the displayed product association, the lamp unit (24-31) or defined group of lamp units (24-31) to be controlled. The invention further relates to a corresponding method for providing a lighting system (10) and locating a product.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: ZUMTOBEL LIGHTING GMBHInventors: Rene Joppi, Gregor Mayr
