  • Obstruction lighting system configured to emit visible and infrared light
    Patent number: 10532824
    Abstract: A lighting system includes a first light assembly that is configured to emit light periodically. The lighting system further includes a second light assembly that is spaced apart from the first light assembly, the second light assembly also being configured to emit light periodically. The periodic light emitted by the first and second light assemblies is synchronized such that the first and second light assemblies operate in unison to form a single light source.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 22, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 14, 2020
    Assignee: Hughey & Phillips, LLC
    Inventors: Steven V. Ricca, Lon E. Rhoades, Jeffrey A. Jacobs, Richard C. Mula, Brian J. Hockensmith, Michael A. Forhan

  • Precision color-controlled light source
    Patent number: 9572223
    Abstract: A color-controlled light source includes a plurality of light emitting diodes, the light emitting diodes being configured to emit different colors of light, intensity of the light emitted by the light emitting diodes being selectably adjustable. A sensor receives the light emitted by the light emitting diodes and converts the received light to electrical feedback signals corresponding to the emitted light. A processor generates an electrical reference signal. An amplifier receives the reference signal and the feedback signal, compares the feedback signal and the reference signal, and generates an error signal corresponding to a difference between the feedback signal and the reference signal. A current control receives the error signal and adjusts the intensity of at least one light emitting diode to cancel the error signal. A composite color emitted by the plurality of light emitting diodes has a predetermined, closed-loop controlled chromaticity.
