  • Patent number: 10794579
    Abstract: A circular edge-lit lighting device includes a light emitting panel (LEP) and a first light emitting diode (LED) light source positioned proximal to a first location on a narrow outer perimeter edge of the LEP. The first LED light source is configured to emit a first light into the LEP through the narrow outer perimeter edge. The first light has a first intensity level. The circular edge-lit lighting device also includes a second LED light source positioned proximal to a second location on the narrow outer perimeter edge the LEP. The second LED light source is configured to emit a second light into the LEP through the narrow outer perimeter edge. The second light has a second intensity level. The first location and the second location are different locations.

  • Patent number: 10782010
    Abstract: An edge-lit lighting fixture includes a light emitting panel (LEP) and a light emitting diode (LED) light source that is positioned proximal to a perimeter edge of the LEP and configured to emit a light into the LEP through the perimeter edge. At least a portion of the light is emitted through the broad surface of the LEP as an illumination light to illuminate an area. The edge-lit lighting fixture further includes a sensor positioned at a broad surface of the LEP to detect ambient light in the area. The LED light source is powered on based on the light sensor. The edge-lit lighting fixture also includes a sensor shield positioned around a portion of the sensor to block the illumination light from directly reaching the sensor.

  • Patent number: 9587814
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) module having a configurable LED substrate capable of receiving varying numbers and layouts of LEDs are described herein. The LED substrate includes LED coupling points for receiving the LEDs and electrical traces etched into the substrate for routing power to the LEDs. The LED module can include a multi-LED over-optic having multiple over-optics that are configured to match the number and configuration of the LEDs positioned on the substrate. The LED coupling points and over-optics can be arranged symmetrically to enable the LED module to be rotated to adjust the light output distribution and direction. The LED module can include a power connection mechanism, for example located at the center of the substrate, that also allows the LED module to be rotated. One or more of the LED modules may be mounted on a heat sink and incorporated into a light fixture.

  • Patent number: 9374869
    Abstract: An edge-lit lighting device includes a light emitting panel (LEP), a first plurality of light sources, and a second plurality of light sources. The first plurality of LEDs are positioned proximal to a first narrow side of the LEP and are configured to emit a first light into the LEP through the first narrow side. The first light has a first intensity level. The second plurality of LEDs are positioned proximal to a second narrow side of the LEP and are configured to emit a second light into the LEP through the second narrow side. The second light has a second intensity level that is different from the first intensity level. The first intensity level and the second intensity level are set to achieve a particular distribution pattern of an output light emitted out through a broad side of the LEP.
