  • Publication number: 20100109577
    Abstract: A method of controlling one or more light fixtures and system thereof are described. Each light fixture is communicably coupled with a lighting control system. The method comprises determining a value of a non-zero portion of a control signal, comparing the determined value with a portion of a component identifier value, and controlling a component corresponding to the component identifier value if the determined value and the portion of the component identifier value are the same.

  • Patent number: 7199531
    Abstract: A light fixture having a variable light output level using one constant voltage power source includes multiple individually computer controllable light sources. Multiple light fixtures may be networked and individually controlled. Additional accessory control devices, such as motion sensors, photo sensors, and time clocks, may be connected with the light fixture and networked.

  • Patent number: 6561678
    Abstract: A variable focus indirect lighting fixture has a pair of first reflectors with each reflector arranged to substantially surround a light source, and a second variable focus reflector positioned in front of the first reflectors. Each of the first reflectors has an opening arranged to provide direct rumination from the light source. The second reflector is positioned in front of each opening of the pair of first reflectors to receive and reflect the lumination from each light source passing through each opening. The second reflector has a pair of inner, concave surfaces arranged such that each inner surface faces a respective opening of the first reflectors and is arranged to receive and reflect the lumination from the respective light source passing through the opening of each of the first reflectors. The inner surfaces are aligned along a center line of the second reflector between the pair of first reflectors.
