  • Digitally adjustable focused beam lighting system
    Patent number: 11754258
    Abstract: A lighting assembly includes a lighting tower. The lighting tower includes a plurality of layers of lighting elements, where each layer of lighting elements is configured to provide a different angle of emitted light onto a parabolic reflector with respect to light emitted from another layer of lighting elements onto the parabolic reflector when activated.
    Type: Grant

  • Color tunable light with zone control
    Patent number: 10420186
    Abstract: A lighting system and method features full gamut color and white color correlated temperature (CCT) control of independently controlled zones. Each zone may be tuned to any color and/or white CCT. The result is a lighting system and method with a light-emitting face having zones of different colors and intensities that may be independently controlled in real time. The lighting system and method enables improved lighting effects for film, television, and still photography as compared to traditional panel lights that are uniform in color over the entire emission surface.
