Patent number: 10984775Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a light fixture for absorbing sound energy. The light fixture is composed of a body comprising a set of discs and a set of supporting elements. As an example, the discs may be annular discs with a central opening for receiving a lamp fitting and/or a reflector. The supporting elements may be pillars that are fixedly attached to the discs e.g. using a plurality of fittings. The discs may comprise a sound absorbing material, such that the light fixture is suitable for absorbing sound energy. This is particularly useful in large indoor environments such as open offices, lobbies, halls, and auditoriums, which all benefit from improved acoustics. The light fixture may comprise two or more light sources, e.g. for distributing light both radially and downwards. In one embodiment, the light fixture is a pendant light.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2020Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Fischer Lighting Holding APSInventors: Stig Elmvang, Tim Magnusson

Patent number: 10973094Abstract: An LED-based light can be installed in a conventional light fixture. The LED-based light can include a sensor operable to output a signal indicative of whether an area of one or more of the rooms is in an occupied state or a non-occupied state, and the LED-based light can also include an LED controller operable to control at least one LED in the light in response to the signal. Additionally, the LED-based light can include a transmitter operable to output the signal indicative of whether the area is in the occupied state or the non-occupied state to a building environment regulator.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: iLumisys, Inc.Inventors: John Ivey, David L.

Patent number: 10928039Abstract: A medical lighting device for illuminating an operating area has an overhead light providing axial illumination and is movably mounted over the operating area and movable manually towards or away from the operating area, and a system for assisting adjustment of a proper lighting position for the overhead light relative to the operating area in such a manner as to position the overhead light at a predetermined distance from the operating area. The system comprises a first light source for generating a first light beam and a second light source for generating a second light beam, the light sources arranged on the overhead light in angularly offset positions so that the first and second light beams converge at a point on the operating area when the predetermined distance is reached, and otherwise when not at that distance the two light beams form two light spots that are disjoint.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2016Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: MAQUET SASInventors: Pierre Ravalitera, Thomas Jeudi

Patent number: 10907787Abstract: A system and method for lighting effects, including simulating a flame, a spark, or a perpetual middle, is disclosed. One or multiple three dimensional substrates include one or multiple arrays of light sources, such as LED, mounted on or into them. A control circuit can actuate the light sources in a manner to simulate different light effects including rising and contracting sparks within a flame and a center of the flame whose properties adjust to sparks traveling through and above it. The control circuit can further actuate the light sources to simulate a real flame effect by combing a simulated spark and a simulated perpetual middle. This system can include a light engine in a light fixture such as an architectural fixture.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: MARCHE INTERNATIONAL LLCInventor: Christopher Ostrander

Patent number: 10900627Abstract: Apparatus and method for creating a natural flame effect using an RGB LED light source and lenses. The output of individually controlled LEDs operated by a simulated-flame-motion algorithm to simulate flame motion is enhanced with the use of multilayer lenticular lens filters to refract the light waves emitted by the LEDs in a manner to create a natural-acting 3D flame effect.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2020Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Inventor: Jay N. Cullimore
