Functional jewelry is disclosed. A bracelet includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), a main control unit, and positional and situational sensors, typically including an accelerometer, as well as a decorative, interchangeable fascial layer. The bracelet may also include sensors such as capacitive touch sensors, a microphone, and a color sensor. A radio transceiver within the bracelet is adapted to implement a protocol such as BLUETOOTH® 4.0, and is adapted to allow the bracelet to communicate in peer-to-peer or master-slave mode. Two users can pair their bracelets in person, usually with a gestural trigger, for shared light displays, multi-player games, and other types of interactions. Larger groups can pair temporarily and contextually for multi-user displays and interactions, in an ad hoc network with distributed functions. Real-world interactions are communicated to a social network with profiles linked to the individual bracelets.

The present invention provides an artificial candle includes a hollow cylinder, an electric wire, and a light bulb. The light bulb includes a light source with a long strip shape, a cup sleeved on and fixed to the electric wire at a position near the first end of the electric wire, an outer cover covered on the cup, and an inner cover sleeved on the light source and defining a receiving space with the cup for receiving a part of the light source and the second end of the electric wire. The light transmitted of the inner cover is less than that of the outer cover and that of the cup. The inner cover is configured for reflecting light emitted from the part, received in the receiving space, of the light source towards the wire holder and an exposed part of the electric wire. A simulating effect of flame is improved.

The present disclosure relates to a lighting fixture that includes a driver module and at least one other module that provides a lighting fixture function, such as a sensor function, lighting network communication function, gateway function, and the like. The driver module communicates with the other modules in a master/slave scheme over a communication bus. The driver module is configured as a slave communication device, and the other modules are configured as master communication devices. As such, the other modules may initiate communications with the driver to send information to or retrieve information from the driver module.

The invention provides a luminaire comprising an optical element configured to spread light uniformly across a full visible face of the luminaire. The optical element comprises a central region and an outer peripheral region, each configured to receive light emitted by a light source arrangement and to direct this light out through a respective region of the light exit area of the luminaire. The central region receives light through a central transmissive surface portion which partially bounds it across its top. A further reflective tapered portion of the central region acts to reflect light incident at either of its two opposing sides, and provides a mixing function both within the central region of the optical element and within an inner compartment of the luminaire which extends between the optical element and the housing.

A submersible marine lighting apparatus is provided which converts electrical input to 25 or 34 volts and provides optimal underwater illumination. The marine lighting apparatus comprises a plano-convex light-focusing lens that concentrates emitted light into a more focused beam, as well a thermal switch and COB LED.

Precision lighting design is a subcategory of lighting design which benefits from a concerted, synergistic effort to improve beam control; sports lighting is one such example. Beam control is improved when all light directing and redirecting devices are considered together, and insomuch that adverse lighting effects are best avoided when considering how all the lighting fixtures in an array interact with one another. To that end, envisioned is a multi-part visoring (i.e., light redirecting) and optic (i.e., light directing) system designed with consideration towards how a fixture lives in a mounted space—how its photometric and physical presence affects other fixtures in or proximate said space—while demonstrating improved beam control over that which is available to general purpose (e.g., indoor residential) lighting.

A light flux controlling member includes a lens body and a cut part. The lens body and the cut part are an integrally molded article composed of a cured product of a liquid resin composition. The cut part extends outward from the entire circumference of the outer peripheral part of the lens body in plan view of the light flux controlling member. The cut part includes the outward-facing end surface bearing a blade mark or a melting mark. In the front-rear direction of the light flux controlling member, the distance between the bottom surfaces of the cut part and the lens body is 20 μm or more.

The disclosed examples relate to various implementations of a micro-light emitting diode upon which is built a controllable variable optic to provide a chip-scale light emitting device. An example of the controllable variable optic described herein is a controllable electrowetting structure having a leak-proof sealed cell with a first fluid having a first index of refraction and a second fluid having a second index of refraction. The controllable electrowetting structure may be integrally formed on or in a substrate or semiconductor material associated with the micro-light emitting diode in alignment with one or more of the light emitting diodes of the micro-LED device to provide a controllable lighting distribution.
