Patent number: 11009189Abstract: A retrofit assembly includes a first lighting module, a second lighting module, and a hub positioned between the first lighting module and the second lighting module. When the first lighting module and second lighting module are at least partially received within cavities formed in the hub, longitudinal axes of the first lighting module and the second lighting module are aligned approximately parallel to one another.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2020Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: ORION ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Scott Green, Matthew Tlachac, George Wilson, Marc Meade, Daniel Fonseca, Ron Ogletree

Publication number: 20200352012Abstract: A lighting control module (LCM) includes an input configured to receive, from a sensor, a signal indicative of motion and/or occupancy, and to output a first corresponding signal. The LCM includes a microprocessor to receive the first corresponding signal from the input and, in response, transmit a second corresponding signal. A wireless transceiver is communicatively coupled to the microprocessor and configured to communicate with other LCMs. A relay is configured to selectively provide power to an output that is configured to be electrically coupled to a fixture. The relay is configured to selectively provide the power to the output according to a first relay-control signal from the microprocessor. The LCM also includes a regulated power supply, a power input configured to couple the power supply to an external power source, and a dimming module configured to be coupled to the fixture and to, when coupled to the fixture, output a signal to the fixture.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2020Publication date: November 5, 2020Inventors: Marc Meade, Peter David Joseph, Matthew David Gresen

Publication number: 20200158296Abstract: A retrofit assembly has a pan and a light emitting diode (LED) light source. The pan has a base extending along a longitudinal axis. The base is defined by a plurality of segments, including a seat, first and second legs, a first foot, a second foot, and retaining walls. The seat extends in a first plane. The first and second legs angle laterally and vertically away from opposite sides of the seat. The first foot extends away from the first leg within a second plane offset from and parallel to the first plane. The second foot extends away from the second leg within a third plane offset from and parallel to the first plane. The retaining walls extend vertically away from each of the first and second feet toward the first plane. The LED light source supports a plurality of LEDs coupled to the base.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2019Publication date: May 21, 2020Applicant: ORION ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Scott Green, Matthew Tlachac, George Wilson, Marc Meade, Daniel Fonseca, Ron Ogletree

Patent number: 10612727Abstract: A retrofit assembly includes at least first and second lighting modules, and at least a central hub positioned between the first lighting module and the second lighting module. Each lighting module includes a tray extending along a longitudinal axis and supporting a solid state light source on a seat defining a plane, a set of legs extending from each side of the seat, and a set of wings extending from the legs and parallel to the plane of the seat, the wings including first and second groups of mounting holes. First and second lenses might be provided to extend across a portion of the seats.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Orion Energy Systems, Inc.Inventors: Scott Green, Matthew Tlachac, George Wilson, Marc Meade, Daniel Fonseca, Ron Ogletree
