Abstract: A light fixture controller is configured for controlling the color temperature and intensity of a light fixture that includes at least two LED groups. Each LED group includes multiple LEDs configured to produce light at certain color temperatures. The light fixture controller receives a color temperature setting and an intensity setting for the light fixture and generates control signals based on these settings. A first control signal only turns on the first LED group for a first duration of a cycle and a second control signal only turns on the second LED group for a second duration of the cycle. The ratio between the first and second duration is determined based on the color temperature setting. The control signal further includes a dimming control signal for controlling a current flowing through the LED groups based on the intensity setting for the light fixture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to luminaires and, in particular, to luminaires comprising light emitting diodes. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a luminaire comprising at least one light emitting diode, a reflector offset from the centerline of the luminaire and a collimator adapted to direct light from the least one light emitting diode along an axis offset from the vertical axis of the light emitting diode.

Abstract: A luminaire can comprise an electronic circuit, such as an LED driver or electronic ballast. A surge protection device in the current path between a power supply and the luminaire components can be configured to protect the electronic circuitry by absorbing and/or redirecting energy of a surge by switching into a low-impedance state while maintaining the protected circuitry (including its internal protective components, if any) in a high-impedance state. The surge protection device can comprise a MOV stage and a filter stage, for example. The surge protection device can be configured as a replaceable module, with the luminaire including an assembly designed to receive the module and allow for easy replacement over the useful life of the other components. Use of fuses or thermal components may cause the surge protection device to interrupt power flow if protection is lost due to internal failure, indicating when module replacement is needed.

Abstract: LED assemblies and luminaires comprising the same are described herein. In some embodiments, the LED assemblies and luminaires are suitable for use in a wide variety of applications including outdoor lighting applications such as roadway and sidewalk lighting, parking lot lighting and residential area lighting.

Abstract: The present invention provides luminaires operable to produce asymmetric light distributions. In one embodiment, a luminaire comprises a light source, an outer optic, and at least one inner optic at least partially positioned within the outer optic.

Abstract: A reflector (14) for a luminaire comprises a generally parabolic wall (28) having series of main right-angled prisms (16) and an interleaved series of transition prisms (18). The main and transition prisms have essentially the same shapes and follow the same overall curvature to control the illumination. The transition prisms transition into the main prisms by merging a peak of a transition prism into the valley between adjacent main prisms in a short transition zone (20). Thus, the transition zone has only a small effect on the overall lighting pattern.
