    Abstract: A light fixture having a construction enabling on/off operation with a wall-mounted switch in a circuit by itself or with other fixtures and to be upgraded in “plug and play” fashion to operate independently of other fixtures in the circuit or for stepped dimming. Modular construction provides safety and ease of maintenance in that ballasts are replaced without exposure to internal wiring and provides temperature management by isolating temperature-sensitive components from high temperatures while placing the lamps in an enclosure in which temperature is contained to operate efficiently. If passive thermal management is not enough to maximize operating efficiency and/or service life, the fixture is upgradeable in plug and play fashion to active thermal management. Ballast modules can be equipped with a microcontroller for collecting operational data that is harvested and used to optimize switching to evenly age lamps and electronics or determine energy consumption.

  • Publication number: 20130033848
    Abstract: A solid state light source module having a compact, thermally enhanced substrate with one or more recessed pockets, is provided. The module includes a solid state light source and an electrical connection for the solid state light source, such that it is able to receive power so as to generate light. The solid state light source is connected to a substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface. The substrate includes a recessed pocket in the upper surface, defined by a wall and a floor that are at least large enough to accommodate the solid state light source; thus, the solid state light source sits within the recessed pocket. This allows the module to be substantially flat, even with an attached optical system, even utilizing remote phosphor technology, and increases the amount of heat dissipated by a thermal management system that is part of, or connected to, the module.

  • Publication number: 20130033879
    Abstract: A method for assembling a device on two substantially parallel taut threads. The device includes an electronic chip and two substantially parallel grooves open on opposite sides of the device. The distance separating the grooves corresponds to the distance separating the threads. The device presents a penetrating shape along an axis perpendicular to the plane of the grooves, having a base at the level of the grooves and an apex of smaller size than the distance separating the threads. The method includes the steps consisting in placing the apex of the device between the two threads; in moving the device between the two threads resulting in the threads being separated from one another by the penetrating shape of the device; and in continuing movement of the device until the threads penetrate into the grooves reverting to their initial separation distance.
