  • Publication number: 20210048172
    Abstract: An optical system and luminaire are provided that include a light source and a beam adjuster optical element (BAOE). The light source emits a source light beam that is received by the BAOE, which emits an adjusted light beam. The BAOE includes an outer portion that receives an outer portion of the source light beam and causes light rays of the outer portion to diverge in a corresponding outer portion of the adjusted light beam and an inner portion that receives an inner portion of the source light beam and causes light rays of the inner portion to converge in a corresponding inner portion of the adjusted light beam. The luminaire includes an actuator that moves the BAOE within the luminaire and a control system that receives a control signal via a data link and moves the BAOE in response to the control signal.

  • Publication number: 20200232626
    Abstract: An LED module and luminaire are provided. The LED module includes an LED circuit board having an array of LEDs powered by an electrical connector. The array of LEDs includes two or more pluralities of LEDs. The LEDs of a first plurality are rotated relative to the LEDs of a second plurality. The rotation amount is not an integer multiple of 90°. The LEDs of the first plurality are not rotated relative to each other, and the LEDs of the second plurality are not rotated relative to each other. The LED module can be removed from an optical system of the luminaire by electrically uncoupling the LED circuit board and mechanically uncoupling the LED module from the luminaire without removing other elements of the optical system from the luminaire.

  • Publication number: 20200236759
    Abstract: An LED module and luminaire are provided. The luminaire includes a controller and an optical system with adjustable optical elements and an LED module with an LED circuit board electrically coupled to the controller. The LED circuit board includes an array of LEDs configured in two or more concentric zones, each zone including a plurality of LEDs. Intensity of the LEDs of a first zone is controlled independently of the LEDs of a second zone. The controller controls the intensity of at least the first zone based upon a configuration of the adjustable optical elements. The LED module can be removed from the luminaire without removing other elements of the optical system by electrically uncoupling the LED circuit board from the controller and mechanically uncoupling the LED module from the luminaire.

  • Publication number: 20190219249
    Abstract: An LED light engine and automated luminaire are provided. The LED light engine includes LED emitters, a first lens array, a color mixing module, second and third lens arrays, and a converging lens. The first lens array includes collimating lenslets corresponding to the LED emitters. The first lens array emits a plurality of light beams corresponding to the LED emitters. Each of the light beams includes substantially parallel light rays. The color mixing module includes dichroic filters that receive the light beams and emit corresponding filtered light beams. The second lens array includes converging lenslets that receive the filtered light beams. The third lens array includes other converging lenslets optically coupled to the second lens array. The converging lens is optically coupled to the third lens array. The second and third lens arrays and the converging lens illuminate a gate in an optical system with the filtered light beams.

  • Patent number: 9995452
    Abstract: A light device, especially a headlight of motor vehicles, comprises at least one light unit (1), or a group (1a, 1b) of light units, at least one optical directing element (3, 2e, 3f), adapted to direct the light beam emitted by the light unit, or group of light units, to the required direction, and at least one output lens (4) for passage of at least a part of the light rays of the light beam or beams to create a light pattern (A, B, C) on the display surface (ZY). On the route of the light beam between the optical directing element and the output lens, there is at least one optical diaphragm element (11, 21, 31) containing a system of trim edges (13, 23, 33) to create the required shape of the cross-section of a part or parts of the light beam designed for transmission along the above-mentioned route.

  • Patent number: 9989207
    Abstract: A light device comprises at least one light source (10) to generate light rays (201, 202, 203), an output lens (5), and lateral walls (7, 8) delimiting a space (27) for passage of the light rays after the lens and exiting out of the light device through a transparent cover (9) covering the space at the front. Between the light source and the output lens, a reflective diaphragm (11) is arranged that comprises fixed reflective lateral walls (11a, 11b), for spatial delimitation of the light rays between the lateral walls before they enter the output lens. The output lens has, in the vertical direction at the side facing the diaphragm, a convex shape and the lateral walls include, at the side facing the output lens, free ends (14) that have a rounded concave shape in the vertical direction, which is substantially complementary to the output lens convex shape.
