Patent number: 10602584Abstract: A system can configure a luminaire for providing illumination of a selected color temperature, a selected lumen output, or a selected photometric distribution. The luminaire can comprise at least two light sources that have different illumination characteristics, for example different color temperatures, different lumen outputs, or different photometric distributions. The system can configure the luminaire to operate a first of the two light sources, a second of the two light sources, or both of the light sources based on an input. When the luminaire is configured to operate both of the light sources, the luminaire can produce illumination having a color temperature, a lumen output, or a photometric distribution that is different than either of the two light sources.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Steven Walter Pyshos, Raymond Janik, Kevin Roy Harpenau

Publication number: 20200043426Abstract: A luminaire can include a housing having at least one outer surface that forms a cavity. The luminaire can also include an aperture that traverses the at least one outer surface of the housing. The luminaire can further include a substrate disposed within the cavity. The luminaire can also include an electrical connector disposed on the substrate adjacent to the aperture. The luminaire can further include a dial coupled to the electrical connector, where dial has a range of positions, where each position within the range of positions of the dial corresponds to a discrete correlated color temperature (CCT) output by multiple light sources of the luminaire.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2019Publication date: February 6, 2020Inventors: Jyoti Kumar, Philip Dean Winters, Steven Walter Pyshos

Patent number: 10539279Abstract: A system can comprise tabs and notches or a twist-and-lock mount for detachably mounting components adjacent a light emitting diode that is utilized for illumination, for example in a luminaire. Representative mounted components can include protective covers and optics for managing light emitted by the light emitting diode. The tabs and notches can be located rear of an aperture in a recessed lighting fixture or in a cover of a luminaire, for example. That cover, or another cover that may not utilize a releasable mount, can extend circumferentially about a periphery of a light emitting diode to cover and protect wiring for the light emitting diode and to hide the wiring from view by people occupying an illuminated space.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2018Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Charles Vasquez, Jason Quentin Paulsel, Steven Walter Pyshos, Jyoti Kathawate

Patent number: 10506682Abstract: A luminaire can include a power supply that receives AC mains power from a power source and delivers intermediate power, and can also include a lumen control module coupled to the power supply, where the lumen control module receives the intermediate power from the power source. The lumen control module can include at least one first switch that has multiple positions, and multiple resistors coupled to the at least one first switch, where each position of the at least one first switch corresponds to a resistance of the resistors, where the intermediate power received by the resistors is translated to a current level of a plurality of current levels based on the resistance. The luminaire can also include at least one light source coupled to the lumen control module, where the at least one light source emits a lumen output based on the current level received from the lumen control module.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2018Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Seth Doheny, Steven Walter Pyshos

Publication number: 20190318697Abstract: A luminaire can include an antenna and a first communication mode that is configured to communicate with an external system. The luminaire can also include a second communication mode that is configured to communicate with the external system. The luminaire can further include a switch coupled to the antenna, the first communication mode, and the second communication mode, where switch has a first position and a second position, where the switch, when in the first position, couples the first communication mode with the antenna, and where the switch, when in the second position, couples the second communication mode with the antenna.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2019Publication date: October 17, 2019Inventors: Jyoti Kumar, Steven Walter Pyshos, Raymond Janik

Publication number: 20190257496Abstract: A lighting system can comprise a light emitting diode that emits light, an optic mounted to process the emitted light, and an aperture disposed on the light-emitting side of the optic. The optic can comprise a cavity that receives the light. A portion of the received light can pass through a sidewall of the cavity, while another portion passes through a bottom of the cavity and out a front of the optic. The optic can comprise curved sides that receive the light passing through the cavity sidewall and reflect that light through the front of the optic. This reflection can condense the light to form a light beam having a beam waist. The beam waist can provide an annular separation or a radial gap between the beam of light and the aperture, with the separation providing clearance to avoid interference with the light beam.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2019Publication date: August 22, 2019Inventors: Steven Walter Pyshos, Ren Chao, Scott Wegner

Publication number: 20190154216Abstract: A light emitting diode can emit light along an axis. An optic can be positioned to direct the emitted light off of the axis. The optic can comprise a base and a projection that rises from the base towards the light emitting diode. The projection can comprise a cavity that is oriented to receive the light emitted by the light emitting diode. The cavity can be slanted relative to the axis of the light emitting diode. A convex surface disposed at the bottom of the cavity can condense, focus, or collimate light. The projection can further comprise sides that totally internally reflect light.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2019Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: Steven Walter Pyshos, Ren Chao, Smita Sudheer Anaokar
