Abstract: Multimedia poles, light poles and/or other structures capable of facilitating multiple operations, such as sensing, lighting, messaging, etc., optionally in a connected manner whereby devices positioned at different locations may communication to implement coordinated activities, are contemplated.

Abstract: Intelligent synchronization of media or other material output from multiple media devices is contemplated. The intelligence synchronization may include instructing the media devices to coordinate playback in concert with a conductor whereby the conductor acts a focal point or reference for the non-conducting media devices. The non-conductor may transmit sync messaging having data or other information sufficient to facilitate coordinating operation of the non-conductors in a manner sufficient to synchronize output of the media.

Abstract: Control devices for controlling, switching or otherwise manipulating power and/or other operations of luminaires and/or other devices connected thereto via power, data or other connectors or interfaces are contemplated. The control devices may be included as part of a cap to facilitate a fast connection or a fast installation in a manner sufficient to be characterized as a FastCap™.

Abstract: An intelligent light fixture is shown which allows for hands-free or automatic control of any desired combination of the color of the lighting beam, the focus position of the lighting beam, the movement of the lighting beam and projection of patterns created by the lighting beam. The intelligent light fixture is configured and mounted in such a way that all of the above can be accomplished from a single mounting position on top, or of within, the structure that holds the intelligent light fixture. The intelligent light fixture may be contained within a housing and said housing maybe mounted to a light pole.

Abstract: A light housing for recessed installation in a ceiling plenum has a top, an apertured bottom, and side walls between the top and bottom. Housing support brackets may be attached at three alternate locations on the side walls for hanging the housing between joists in a ceiling plenum, such that the housing can be hung in any of three different orientations to fit available space in the ceiling plenum. A lamp socket in the housing is tiltable about two different axes through a first angular adjustment between a downlight position and a wallwash position and tiltable through a second angular adjustment between a downlight position and an adjusted position, such that a directional light source installed in the lamp socket may be aimed for downlight, wallwash or adjustable illumination after installation of the housing in a ceiling.

Abstract: A recessed, adjustable, low voltage track light is shown comprising a recess housing made of any suitable material, and having one or more low voltage lighting rails fixed, or adjustably mounted, within the housing. One or more low voltage lamps can be mounted to the lighting rail or rails anywhere along their linear length. A low voltage power supply is electrically connected to the lighting rail or rails. The low voltage power supply may be mounted within or without the housing. The housing may be installed within a ceiling or wall cavity, or be suspended in space.

Abstract: A color changing light fixture is provided for producing indirect self-illuminating effects within the fixture, which comprises a housing or reflector having an indirect light source and, optionally, a primary light source mounted within. The fixture's self-illuminating effects are conducive to adding to the design scheme of a room or an area being lighted. The fixture may be recessed, surface mounted, suspended, or wall mounted. The indirect light source, which is powered by a low voltage power source, includes one or more light emitting diode (LED) strips that may be fixed or adjustable, and includes the capability of being completely or partially concealed within the fixture. The LEDs can provide a plurality of visible colors (including white), which can be mixed by any number of control devices, like music and video mixers, and door opening and occupancy sensors.

Abstract: An auxiliary lighting system contains at least one photoelectric cell to convert ambient light into energy and at least one light emitting diode. The photoelectric cell converts ambient light into energy which is stored in a storage cell. A switching system provides energy from the storage cell to the light emitting diode upon certain conditions, generally by time or by lack of ambient light.

Abstract: A multi-function lighting module providing two or more possible light source capabilities, such as ambient and/or focused and or emergency lighting where power is supplied by an existing bus system, and the module is connected to the existing bus system by a tool-less means of connection.

Abstract: A track lighting system which uses a lighting truss which separates the support function from the electrical connection function is provided. A lighting truss is shown which consists of a longitudinally extending base portion having at least an upstanding flange projecting from one side, and an upstanding wall projecting from the other side. A piece of lighting track is mounted on the vertical wall portion, and a beam clamp fastens a luminaire to the longitudinally extending base portion. The upstanding flange will prevent the luminaire from falling off should it loosen in use.

Abstract: A display lighting system for walls (10) is disclosed which have a housing insertable into the ceiling of a room near the wall desired to be washed by the light from the lighting system. The housing (12) includes an opening from the housing to the room designed by flanges (26). A lamp tray (14) is positioned within the housing by raising it at an angle into the interior of the housing and then rotating it so each of the angularly related legs (56, 58) can be moved through the opening in the housing and then rotated so that each leg rests upon opposing interior portions of the flanges. The leg (56) furthest from the wall to be washed provides an elongated lamp support disposed at an acute angle to the wall so to direct lamps (28) positioned through holes (66) of the light tray towards the wall to be lit. Also disclosed is an electrical compartment (30) centrally located on the housing provided two-handed access from below when the lamp tray and accent plate (34) are removed.

Abstract: An assembleable lighting system is provided which may include a power transfer means connected to a fixture mounting pendant or pole. At least one node of power input to the power transfer means is provided. Mounted to the power transfer means is a fixed or adjustable mounting bar or beam construction. A retaining ring is adjustably movable along the mounting bar or beam member. One or more of said retaining rings, mounted to the mounting bar, are able to retain accessories for the lighting system. A low voltage transformer means is provided which is easily mountable to the beam member when it is necessary to convert the lighting system to a low voltage application.
