  • Publication number: 20230410121
    Abstract: Fault resolution for light fixtures is provided. A system can receive, from a client device via a network, an identifier of a light fixture detected by the client device. The system can receive, from the client device, an indication of performance of the light fixture. The system can determine, based on the identifier and the indication of performance, a status of a warranty for the light fixture. The system can generate, based on the status of the warranty, an action to improve performance of the light fixture.

  • Patent number: 10584848
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a light fixture attached to a wall or a ceiling to illuminate at least a portion of the ceiling. The light fixture can include a light source enclosed within the light fixture and configured to emanate light directionally away from the wall. The light fixture can include a protrusion. The protrusion can extend away from and below the light source. The protrusion can include a bent end that is bent upwards to direct light at a predetermined angle towards a ceiling. The light fixture can include an optic attached above the light source and extending above and externally towards the bent end of the protrusion. The optic can be configured to direct a portion of light towards the bent end.

The light fixture can be attached to a location adjacent to and above a first shelf of a plurality shelves of the enclosure. The optic can split light from the light source to form a first light beam directed to the first shelf and form a second light beam directed to a second shelf of the plurality of shelves. The second shelf can be below the first shelf. The first light beam can have a first predetermined intensity and the second light beam has a second predetermined intensity different than the first predetermined intensity.

  • Publication number: 20140300294
    Abstract: The present application is generally directed to systems and methods for control and management of lighting components connected in a network. A user specified rule is executed to control lighting effects in a lighting network which comprises an interface module in communication with one or more lighting control modules. The interface module may receive a rule for controlling a lighting network. The rule may comprise a user identified input and a user specified lighting effect to occur responsive to the user identified input. The interface module detects receipt of the user identified input and executes the rule to trigger the user specified lighting effect via the one or more lighting control modules.

  • Patent number: 8567982
    Abstract: The present solution described herein provides systems and methods to coordinate and control the lighting of areas of a display unit in manner desired based on the type, brand and other characteristics of the product presented for display via the display unit. A lighting control system may control the characteristics of light emanating from one or more light sources to cause a reaction or visual effect from light reactive material of the product or display unit. In some cases, the lighting control system may control the characteristics of light emanating from one or more light sources based on signals from detectors, such as sensing any state or condition of the ambient environment.

  • Patent number: 8436553
    Abstract: A lighting arrangement includes a light fixture including a plurality of light sources wherein each light source is configured to generate a different color light when energized; and a circuit arrangement included in the light fixture and operatively interposed between the plurality of light sources and a source of electrical power. This circuit arrangement is responsive to brief interruptions in the supply of electrical power of less than a predetermined period to simultaneously de-energize all of the light sources for a full duration of the interruption and to subsequently toggle energization from one light source to the next and thereby produce different color light in response to the cessation of the brief interruption.

  • Patent number: 7198386
    Abstract: The present invention is designed to overcome the problems with MCPCB technology, which includes conductive solid body, typically copper or aluminum, typically having rods extending therefrom. This conductive solid body is fastened in place by a body constructed of typically plastic/Delrin® that the copper rods may be pressed or installed into. This body may be conductive or non-conductive. Each LED is mounted to a standard printed circuit board (PCB) or flexible circuit board that contains through holes large enough to fit the metal bottom of the LED through the hole far enough for the LED to make contact with the face of the solid body. Typically, board thickness of 0.032? or less is required for this to work effectively. The LED is glued to the face solid body via a thermally conductive, electrically neutral adhesive. The LED may also be adhered via thermal tape, thermal pad, or held against the solid body via its solder joints where no bonding of the LED is required.
