  • Patent number: 10187946
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed at a method and apparatus for configuring and powering light fixture loads for a LED low voltage distribution system. The method and apparatus include converting power being supplied for powering the set of light fixture loads and then limiting this converted power to a set of multiple current outputs supplied to the light fixture loads. The multiple current outputs are then split or regrouped prior to being delivered to the light fixture loads.

  • Patent number: 10045421
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed at a system, power supplied to a solid state lighting (SSL) device when an operational fault condition is sensed such as when the power level being supplied to the device is sensed to be meeting or higher than an expected or predetermined level. The system, method and apparatus provide a recovery aspect which means that the SSL device will not be automatically shut down (or power being supplied to the SSL device will not be immediately stopped) upon the discovery of the operational fault condition but will enter a recovery mode.
