  • Patent number: 11859796
    Abstract: A recessed light fixture includes an LED module, which includes a single LED package that is configured to generate all light emitted by the recessed light fixture. For example, the LED package can include multiple LEDs mounted to a common substrate. The LED package can be coupled to a heat sink for dissipating heat from the LEDs. The heat sink can include a core member from which fins extend. Each fin can include one or more straight and/or curved portions. A reflector housing may be coupled to the heat sink and configured to receive a reflector. The reflector can have any geometry, such as a bell-shaped geometry including two radii of curvature that join together at an inflection point. An optic coupler can be coupled to the reflector housing and configured to cover electrical connections at the substrate and to guide light emitted by the LED package.

  • Patent number: 9799125
    Abstract: A color control user interface can include a controller, a display area, and a three-dimensional shape generated by the controller and disposed in the display area. The three-dimensional shape can include a first axis that represents a first range of selections for a first color factor, a second axis that represents a second range of selections for a second color factor, and a third axis that represents a third range of selections for a third color factor. A control engine of the controller can be configured to receive user selections having a first selection of the first color factor, a second selection of the second color factor, and a third selection of the third color factor. The control engine can also be configured to compare the user selections to light source information stored in memory, and send commands via a transceiver to at least one light source.

  • Patent number: 9720164
    Abstract: A lighting system can comprise an edgelit panel, for example a lightguide that may have a panel or slab shape with an edge that receives light from an array of light emitting diodes extending along the edge. The lightguide can guide the received light towards an opposing edge of the lightguide and gradually release light to provide illumination. An optic can manage light that reaches the opposing edge of the lightguide, for example via softening, spreading, concentrating, or diffusing the light. The optic can be mounted to or integrated in the opposing edge of the lightguide.
