  • Publication number: 20250008630
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for crosstalk mitigation in a lighting system. The apparatus may include a circuit. The circuit may be configured to receive electrical power. The circuit may be configured to provide lighting power from the electrical power, along an electrical power transmission line, to a light-emitting diode (“LED”) light fixture. The circuit may be configured to transmit along the electrical power transmission line first lighting control information that is configured to control light emitted from the fixture. The circuit may be configured to transmit along the electrical power transmission line second lighting control information that is defined by a pattern in the lighting power.

  • Patent number: 12156315
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods and systems for lighting may be provided. Apparatus may include a fixture. The fixture may include a first light-emitting diode (“LED”). The first LED may emit light of a first color. The fixture may include a second LED. The second LED may emit light of a second color. The apparatus may include a light driver circuit. The light driver circuit may operate the fixture in a tunable color mode. The light driver circuit may operate the fixture in a dim-to-warm mode. The light driver circuit may switch between the tunable color mode and the dim-to-warm mode. The light driver circuit may switch between the tunable color mode and the dim-to-warm mode in response to a signal corresponding to a user mode-selection.

  • Publication number: 20230273582
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for controlling a fixture are provided. The fixture may include a circuit. The circuit may include a radio. The radio may be configured to transmit and receive using one, two or more different protocols. The fixture may be part of an IoT network. The IoT network may include a plurality of one or more fixtures. The fixtures may be in communication with the Internet via a router. The IoT network may be an IoT network that does not include a dedicated multi-protocol gateway as an intermediary between the fixtures and the router. One or more of the fixtures may be designated as a multi-protocol gateway for the IoT network. A fixture that is not designated as the multi-protocol gateway may have communication via one or more of the protocols disabled.
