Publication number: 20250008630Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2024Publication date: January 2, 2025Inventors: Michael Sabolcik, Suman Minnaganti, Paul McGinnis

Patent number: 12156315Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2023Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: Wangs Alliance CorporationInventors: Jonathan Ian Hoffman, Dimauro Andrade Edwards, Michael Sabolcik, Suman Minnaganti
