  • Patent number: 10422943
    Abstract: A luminaire comprises a light guide having light outcoupling elements at one side and a flat light output surface at the other side, which is visible in use of the luminaire. An array of solid state lighting elements is arranged around the edge of the light guide facing the general light output direction. A respective reflector is associated with each solid state lighting element for reflecting light into the light guide. By providing the lighting elements all facing the general light output direction, they can be formed as a single unit, or as a small number of sub-units, thereby simplifying the manufacture. The design of the reflectors, the positioning of the lighting elements, and the design of the light outcoupling elements together may be used to create an asymmetrical light output beam shape. Actuation of different lighting elements may be used to provide different asymmetric light outputs.

  • Patent number: 10356856
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a capacitor step-down LED driver and a driving method using the same. A capacitor step-down LED driver comprises a control circuit and a switching circuit. The control circuit turns on or off the switching circuit in response to an output current and an output voltage of the capacitor step-down LED driver, and thus controls an amount of energy supplied from an input side to an output side. In a first operation state, the switching circuit is controlled not to supply energy from the input side to the output side. In a second operation state, the switching circuit is controlled to supply energy from the input side to the output side. Thus, the output current is maintained to be a value of a desired driving current.

  • Patent number: 10212789
    Abstract: Described herein is method for setting up a network of luminaires and their subsequent operation. A plurality of luminaires are located on a street (24, 29), and each luminaire comprises a control module (23, 28). The method for setting up the network comprises, for each control module, scanning the environment and providing environmental information to a central server, which, allocates the control modules and their associated luminaires into groups (A, B). A group controller (23?, 28?, 31, 32) is allocated for each group which has long-distance communication with the server and short-distance communication with control modules within its group. Each group controller and control modules within the group form a network which can operate autonomously or under the control of the server. Some of the control modules may include sensors (S1, S2) which provide signals indicative of changes in the environment allowing the network to adapt its operation in accordance with those changes.

  • Patent number: 9990868
    Abstract: A compact exit sign includes a main body having an open frontal portion, an annular side wall portion and a rear panel portion including a central opening extending across greater than half of the rear panel, and a front plate including a face portion provided with exit indicia. The exit sign can be selectively converted between single and double face exit signs by snap-connecting a first, solid and non-transparent insert to the main body across the central opening of the rear panel to establish a single face exit sign and snap-connecting a second, exit indicia containing insert to the main body across the central opening of the rear panel to establish a double face exit sign. A lighting system is housed within the main body for illuminating the exit indicia for either of the single or double face configurations.
