  • Patent number: 11982436
    Abstract: A light generating system including a first light source configured to generate a first light with a first spectral power distribution, a second light source configured to generate a second light with a second spectral power distribution different from the first spectral power distribution, and optics configured to beam shape at least the first light. The first light has a wavelength range of 380-780 nm, and the second light has a wavelength range of 470-490 nm. The light generating system is configured to provide in a first operational mode white first light in a first direction, and second light in a second direction.

  • Publication number: 20230296223
    Abstract: The invention provides a light generating system (1000) comprising a first light source (100), a second light source (200), and optics (400), wherein: - the first light source (100) is configured to generate first light source light (101) having in a first operational mode a first spectral power distribution, wherein the first light source light (101) has at least intensity at a plurality of wavelengths in a first wavelength range of 380-780 nm; - the second light source (200) is configured to generate second light source light (201) having in the first operational mode a second spectral power distribution differing from the first spectral power distribution, wherein the second light source light (201) has at least intensity at one or more wavelengths in a second wavelength range of one or more of (i) 380-430 nm and (ii) 470-490 nm; - the optics (400) are configured to beam shape at least the first light source light (101); -the light generating system (1000) is configured to provide in a first operational mo

  • Patent number: 10061071
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a panel luminaire (300, 400, 500) may include a housing (302, 402) that frames a light aperture (304, 404), a linear substrate (308, 408) mounted to the housing along a first plane, at least one light source (306, 406) mounted along the linear substrate to emit light along the first plane, and a planar light guide (310, 410, 510) mounted to the housing parallel to the first plane. The planar light guide may include a light extraction feature (312) to extract light emitted by the at least one light source. In some embodiments, a portion (334) of a periphery (314) of the planar light guide may be curved to redirect light emitted by the at least one light source towards the light extraction feature. In some embodiments, the planar light guide and an aesthetic panel (418, 518) of the housing may be spaced apart to form a gap (420, 520) big enough to allow for the aesthetic panel to be three dimensional.
